The selection of yoghurts and cheese is awesome, and the butchery is pricey but meticulous. The bakery is a specialty shop in itself--high turnover and high craftsmanship mean you'll always pick up something fresh from the oven, and tasty. The checkouts, though, are what make this place throroughly and utterly Germanic. Obviously, someone has done a time-and-motion study on the process of checking-out, and determined that dividing the process into two works more efficiently. One lady will ring you up, give you a rechnung with a barcode, which you can then hand to the money-taking lady or ATM your way into the mall outside. The speed means you need to get your skates on to pack your groceries tout suite, lest you clog the check-out artery. And that, my dear friends, would create DISORDER! Tsk tsk.

Nice and big, lots of light and a great fruit and vegetable spread. The self-checkout (5 terminals) is the reason I visit this Edeka nearly every other day for groceries. If you have your act together and understand the process, you can check yourself out faster than it takes to stand in the normal checkout. Gotta love those morons that place all their items on the scale and then bag it after they pay. DRIVES ME CRAZY. Anyway - great store with a nice clean and brand new building housing it. The garage always has tons of space.

On our recent layover while having dinner at a restaurant around the corner I located this supermarket. On one of my Frankfurt airport transits I had a discovered a similar market so it looks like have a supermarket in German airports for the convenience of the passengers is an excellent idea. The most surprising factor though is that the pricing at this supermarket is extremely reasonable and they are not scamming passengers out of cash by charging double and triple pricing which most businesses associated with an airport do. We were able to buy excellent chocolates at reasonable prices compared to the same chocolates selling a few hundred feet away in duty free at triple the price. 5 stars all the way wish other airports adopted a similar concept.

It is…read morelocated at a junction and opposite a Müller (Big Pharmacy like Boots) and Basic an organic supermarket. So in terms of location - perfect as you can do most grocery and household shopping within 100m of this place. The selection here is ok and the staff can be friendly depending on the day or the week. On weekends you can forget about service ;-)) I rarely buy fresh produce or meat at this, or any other supermarket as, I prefer to do those at the markets and local shops. If you want reasonably priced things for your kitchen & cooking this is a good choice.

They always have fresh produce, as well as (and this may sound a little strange...) overly ripe?!, but before they toss it, you can buy certain items that should be consumed asap from a box in the back. Admittedly, I feel a little like a homeless person scuffing through this box sometimes, but really, who likes to waste food? It's all still in pretty good shape (just not as shiny as the other stuff). The fruit is perfect for juicing and the vegies are fine too. Each bag usually costs only about 50 cents. They also have a nice selection of cheap flowers and other seasonal items. Friendly people working there too.

And it was going to taste like you died and went to Chow Main heaven. I wanted my food to taste as authentic as possible so naturally I went to the nearest grocery store. Not the best idea. I stumbled into this rustic looking store to find hoisin sauce and sesame oil. I don't know how I managed to get lost in this small store. However I was overwhelmed by the boxes and empty wrapping. There was a funky smell in the store and I couldn't find my way around. I was lost and some packages were dusty. Not the best place to buy anything. To the managers: please clean up and organize this store! Thank you.
