About this place

Parkson is a large and very popular department store on HuaiHai Road.  It also includes a supermarket in the basement.  Parkson’s is a perfect option for those looking to purchase both western and Chinese products in one location. Set up like a western grocery, the aisles are easy to navigate and offers a surprisingly diverse array of western products alongside typical Chinese items. Parkson and City Supermarket are right across the street from each other. With this convenience in mind I often start my grocery shopping at Parkson for the more affordable selection of Chinese and Western products. I then take the underground subway tunnel to City Supermarket to peruse the slightly more expensive, yet otherwise difficult to find foreign goods sold there. 
 
Parkson does carry a small selection of produce and fresh meat as well.
 
Security guards do not let customers enter the main area of the grocery store with any type of bag except a purse. There are lockers at the entrance, but they are not large.
 

Take Metro Line 1 to Shanxi Rd. Station. Follow signs for the Parkson subway exit.
