Coop Konsum

It’s funny how you develop a soft spot for a place when you go there time after time. This is the closest grocery store to my house, so it’s the one I usually end of choosing — and after living here so long, it’s a little hard to be objective!
Comparing it to the other stores in the area though, I do think it’s my favorite, perhaps other than the Ica at Medborgarplatsen, which is bigger and has a great selection.
But I definitely prefer this Coop, on Bondegatan, to the Ica nearby (Matmäster on Folkungagatan) or even the Coop at Medborgarplatsen. Of course the Coop at Medborgarplatsen is also bigger and has a better selection of delicacies, but for everyday shopping, Coop Bondegatan is great. Matmäster is very strangely set-​up and feels stressful and crowded, and the Coop is also strangely set-​up and dark and kinda weird. So this one is great!
It’s not massive, but it’s a full-​sized store with pretty much everything you could desire. It’s clean and fairly well set-​up and organized. The staff are friendly and you quickly start recognizing faces and are able to chat with specific employees and build a relationship. All in all, I have nothing to complain about, and I’ve never had a bad experience here — so yay! I’m a fan.
