I found Erlangen Arcaden a great place to find what I was looking for. I went looking in DM, in the…read morecity centre, for the moisturiser I usually use and couldn't find it. So, I went to the DM in the Arcaden and found it there. I also grabbed a few bits and pieces from other shops while I was there, it was very convenient.

If you live in or near a city that has a "arcaden" mall, then you're basically forced to go there…read more Why? Because these huge places just kill the local mom&pop stores by relocating the main shopping mile indoors, with AC & WiFi. Sure, larger cities can survive the process of having their many shopping mile relocated, but smaller ones? Not really. The assortment of stores is pretty much the same in every location, they have their mix of brands & food chains without anything really appealing. Good if you're a fan of malls, bad if you like choice or local flavour. On a plus side, they just made the place dog friendly, by adding water & food bowls in the basement - which i've never seen with food or water in them. Way to go!

Scandinavian Style aside - this store is fantastic!…read more So apparently this shop has been around for a few years already - I had no clue!! This is sort of your typical house and garden decoration store... You will find a lot of nice eye-catching pieces for your home (or for other homes if you are looking for gifts), from It appears to have a Swedish touch to it, the "Scandinavian style of living" they call it.... but apart from some Swedish signs and stuffed elks (which you can buy in the tourist shops in Sweden as well - I have the same ones at home - the ones with the Swedish flag on their tummies) it didn't strike me as specifically Swedish...Nevertheless, they sell wonderful and beautiful stuff, from chandeliers to pillows, lots of witty signs and a lot of decoration. It's slightly more expensive than your normal lifestyle shop, but it's worth it, the quality seems rather high and the things are just so beautiful! If I could, I would have bought the entire store!! Bottom line: * Beautiful things for your home and garden * Also a lot of gift ideas * Apparently it's "Scandinavian Style" * A tad more expensive than other shops like this, but far better quality!

Adidas Outlet has 2 levels with both Adidas and Reebok items. So many options from shoes,…read morefootballs, socks, jerseys, jackets, joggers, t-shirts, gym bags, to their sponsored football club trackers. True the prices maybe more than in the US, but when in Rome.... or Germany. Haha Plus some of the items wouldn't be found in the US. You can always go across the street to the other Adidas store. That's of course the normal retail price, but if you're really into having the latest and newest item that's the stop. It's just fun to look at their newer designs. Side note: If you're fortunate enough to know an employee of Adidas ask them to give you a tour of the campus. It's so awesome to see all the buildings and see inside. Go through the history of Adidas exhibit. Super cool seeing the timeline of their line.

Amazing campus. My wife and I love the layout and prices. The variety of workout clothes was my…read morefavorite, I will definitely be going here again. Bring VAT forms depending on what you are spending. There is a small cafe inside and bleachers on the outside (arena style). From adults to small toddlers for everything.

If you're a sports fan and like the clothes that go with it, this is the place you want to check…read moreout! Located in Herzogenaurach, just off the highway, where all the best sports brands originate from, this place offers everything a runner, football player or simply a sporty person could dream of - at prices that will make you squeal. You can find anything from trainers to sweatpants, football jerseys, golf clothes and many more here. The only drawback is that because of the variety of different sports this place covers, there is not too much to chose from within those categories. So while you might find the best running shoes you ever had for less than 40€ here, they might not be exact the same colour or design you were looking for. But the prices are low and the quality is great, so what more could you really wish for? Bottom line: * Very large, modern store * Offers puma clothes for various sports (running, hiking, football, golf, etc.) * The prices are ridiculously low while the quality is great

Last year we took a European Road Trip from the UK, through Belgium, Holland and down to Germany…read morewhere we stayed in Nuremburg. After doing a bit of research we saw that Puma & Adidas has a Factory Store in Herzogenaurach which is only 20 minutes from Nuremburg so we decided to stop by on the way in the hope of picking up some bargains. The Puma store was quite Impressive, 3 floors of Sportwear. It had a good selection of really cool Puma clothing that were not available in the UK along with a really nice range of the Retro sportswear. Whilst some items were still expensive and full price they also had some good sales on which meant I picked up lots of bargains - Like Designer Phillipe Stark Trainers for just £10. All in all it was a good day out as there were other Factory or Clearance stores on the same site. However I wouldnt go out of my way to visit again unless I was in the area as I think you can do just as well in some of the Designer Outlet stores in the UK.

Have been going there for 3y now. It deserves to have at least one review :) nice small place. Very…read morewarm people. Since this is the lesser commercial area of Herzo, you find more of the local people visiting, that could be the reason why the folks in here are so warm :) One negative feedback would be their collection of alcohol. They only have those pet bottles beers mainly. And may be one variety from Kitzmann. Nothing great in spirits section as well. Only known name may be a Jim Beam Bourbon. Rest all are unknown, at least to me.

Just buy it! All of…read moreyou sports fans out there - this is the place to be (and shop!) The entire back consists of rows and rows of shoe boxes piled on top of each other. The prices range from 25 - 150€, but if you're lucky enough to have small feet (anything up to Euro size 38), you get the most fantastic shoes at ridiculously cheap prices. I wish my feet were smaller :( But apart from shoes, there's plenty of clothes for running, workout, basketball, football, etc., some at normal prices, some really cheap (special deals) - but all of them far less expensive than what you would usually pay for Nike stuff. Right in front of the cash desks, there's another row of cheap accessories, from drinking bottles to sports bags - really cool and especially neat if you're looking for small gifts to take home. For all of you who live close-by, make sure to stop by every once in a while instead of coming here once in order to buy everything. The prices and products change quite often, so you might be lucky one week and leave empty-handed the next. Bottom line: * Perfect for all sports lovers * Cool sports clothes and shoes at relatively cheap prices * Make sure to check this place out every once in a while * If you have small feet...I hate you! ;)
