Reál Hypermarket 24hours?

Finally a supermarket (hypermarket here) that is open all hours; Real Hypermarket at AFI. If you’re at all like me, you catch yourself hunting around for shops and stores ten minutes before the city seems to “shut down” which during the work week is basically 22:00. If you’re looking for a snack, or some groceries or household items, your confined to the convenient store/filling stations that still wish to be open. Now we have Real hypermarket at the Cotroceni AFI mall, we can get shopping done when we need to (undoubtedly we have all heard about, or all been to at this point in time; If you have not, look for my next post that gets into detail about the mall itself and all its amenities). They have a website, www.aficotroceni.ro, however I gave up trying to find an english version of it (let me know if I missed the translate button right in front of my face).

Real is roughly 13,380 square meters and is serviced by enough parking spaces to “not have many issues”. There are also registers and checkout lanes to service the customers in a timely fashion hopefully they will continue to staff all of them). Whatever you are reading about this hypermarket you’ll catch the same basic information: it’s designed for optimal placement of goods, keeping an eye on freshness, quality, and product image. Every product is itemized, organized, and categorized in an optimal way…

The long story on the “publicity details” here is that we now have a more “Americanized”, or “Westernized” supermarket that we’ll feel comfortable, as well as productive in. Whether you are at the deli counter, the bakery section, the fruits and vegetables area, or the wine section, you’ll notice that there are a bit more “service oriented” employees that make your shopping experience more enjoyable and interactive as well…. again, something more akin to the American “upper end” supermarkets.

    As a response to my own post, i do wish to re-itereate that this is the closest to a normal american supermarket that I’ve seen, the do have the sections more organized and a bit like a smaller Wal-Mart. I could probably list off a half o dozen supermarkets where I would rather go, for no reason other that location and convenience, however the hours of operation is always an issue.

    Just a quick update on Real. Now the third time in a row that I was shopping and went to check out and only a few of the registers were open. Now the second thing I have notice occurring quite often is the lack of pricing labels on the actually merchandise, so the associates are constantly holding up the line by doing price checks. Still great for 24hrs, but at this point I would avoid it until the late hours of the night.
