This is a fancy, old, classy, expensive department store in the middle of downtown Helsinki. It's…read morelike "All the roads lead to Stockman". At the grocery department you can find all kinds of goodies, pastry, fresh meat, fish, specialty products, and international foods. You also have several options to have something to eat either at the restaurant located upstairs, or at the many
coffee/snack shops.
This is like a huge fancy shopping opportunity for demanding shoppers. You can shop for beautiful handbags, high-end clothing and shoes, or if you favor a certain domestic or international cosmetic brand, they have it. Don't forget souvenirs, toys, home goods and Finnish design items.
The customer service department will ship things for you to destinations all over the world and help you with duty free shopping.
Among many other notable things is a big Alko store. This is the government monopolized liquor store. So, if you find great delicatessen for lunch or dinner,
you will also have the opportunity to purchase alcoholic beverages to go along
with your meals.
Really, if you want to spend time and money here, it is truly worth the trip, and
everlasting experience while in Helsinki.
The best thing at Stockman building is electronics store called Power that I just discovered last Summer. They sell variety of appliances, phones and so on.
Found a table phone for my mom who needed to replace her old one. She uses it for Skype calls from the USA.
Customer service at this place is priceless. The young men helping me during my visits were so knowledgeable, patient and friendly.
One nice traditional point about Stockman is, that they have a
clock on the Alexanterinkatu side of their many entrances. That is famous among all people living in Helsinki. When meeting friends, we used to say:
"Meet me under the Stockman's clock." Happy shopping and maybe I will see you there.
