Ica Nära

With the expansion of the area around the water at Liljeholmen the inadequacy of the local Hemköp has become clearer. The fairly newly opened store is right be the station at Ârstadal and while it is fairly small they have used the space efficiently so the selection of food does to a large extent feel better or equivalent to the larger Hemköp. The main difference here is that everything feels fresh and that the selection of ecological products is also fairly extensive.
The price level also feels fairly reasonable and while it is of course not the absolutely lowest prices I do not see any major difference with the larger ICA store at Liljeholmen mall. The staff are always available and seem service-​minded.
My main objections here are the lack of a good meat and fish selection. Of course probably due to the lack of space but it would often be the major reason for me going elsewhere to shop. The other thing that could be an issue is that there is only one manned cash register and then four automated ones in a fairly narrow exit area. This can cause lines when busy but on the other hand I have never seen long lines here.
