I recently discovered Einkaufspark Duckwitz (EDU for short). It feels like it has more options than…read morethere actually are. On the outside, this shopping center has an H&M (which is they primary reason why I came and was pleasantly surprised to find that it's a really good H&M because it's large and clean) and a New Yorker, among a few other stores. When you go inside, you can check out the Woolworth, Apotheke, dm, Saturn and real is the main anchor store. I didn't see the McDonald's but it's there and so is a post office, which is useful. There is a lot of parking. It was crowded on a Saturday afternoon but that's to be expected, right? I'll be back for H&M.

This store is in a central location in Bremen so it's easy to find. The selection is decent, and…read morethe only thing that would make it better is if the prices were more affordable. But that's to be expected, outdoor gear is usually expensive. When I was there, there didn't appear to be anything on sale. I was mostly looking for a winter jacket. They had multiple options from many local and international brands but nothing that was quite right, across both floors. The employees were somewhat friendly and a couple made a point to say hi. when I walked by.

This secondhand shop is a brand from Copenhagen and it appears that they do get clothes from…read moreCopenhagen. I made the trip to Bremen to check out this shop. I was a bit disappointed to find that they had H&M and Uniqlo among their pieces. I expected brands and pieces that are less mainstream and more deals since I was buying secondhand. It was also smaller than I expected. I came back a second time to see if I could sell some clothes. The terms are clearly spelled out on their website and they only buy clothes on specific weekdays. I was successful and took the cash even though you get more if you agree to be paid in store credit. The process of selling clothes is very easy. Maybe I'll stop by the next time I'm in town because you'll never know what they have.

Snipes, no relationship to Wesley, I hope, is a very popular store. In fact, it's a chain of over…read more100 stores, in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Netherlands, Spain and Italy. They give away a very professionally produced catalog from a rack in front of their Bremen store. The merchandise varies from footwear as diverse as Timberlake and Air Jordan, to virtually every item of clothing fashion from companies such as Urban Line, Black Team, Coach, and on and on. Despite the pricey nature of much of their inventory, the store is frequented by the under 20 set, with a few oldsters under 30, who seem a bit nonplussed. It's a very youth-oriented store. Youth with some extra Euros, I guess.

Some Aldi locations seem a bit shopworn. Not this one. The storefront is bright and inviting, and…read morethe signage is the latest version. It is a very up-to-date location. Inside, it's typically ALDI, in Germany, anyway. Well stocked shelves, and all very nicely faced up. Prices are competitive. Good management and basically a good company. I'm a fan.

I first shopped at this Crocs outlet over 10 years ago. The last time I shopped there was today…read more You have to go a lot because sometimes there are good prices and sometimes you need to wait. If you go when there are good prices, buy! I was trying on classic Crocs today and I discovered I was between sizes. During my trial process, a salesperson came up to me to see if I needed help. We had a quick discussion about how being between sizes is challenging and I asked for her opinion about the larger size looking too large. She agreed. I made the purchase. I have purchased at this store before and everything is very straightforward and easy. I was able to pay with my phone (Apple Pay). It is convenient to have a Crocs outlet relatively nearby here in Germany. I will likely come back because I like their flip flops too.

After getting used to the name, Wormland, which really doesn't translate to anything in German…read moreother than what it seems to mean in English, I checked out the merchandise. Not for me. I don't care for slim fitting clothes, and they don't care much for me, either. The prices are OK, but you have to be careful. There are several racks with discounted men's clothing, but I couldn't really find anything. Hey, I gave it a try.

One of the best places to go to if you're looking for slim clothes (obviously not the only clothes…read moreyou can shop for - but the brands Wormland carries [G-Star, Diesel, Autark, Boss] just happen to be the ones that fit slim people like me well) for men - ranging from T-shirts to pullovers to jackets from the above mentioned brands.
