Re: Jumbo supermarkets.
Santa Isabel was always a way in before an official Jumbo. No Jumbo here but you can see Jumbo labelled products at the local Santa Isabel. This is the same supermarket at the Mall anchored by Paris and Johnson up the street, part of the the Paris-Johnson-Santa Isabel-Jumbo complex

Re: Jumbo supermarkets.
Do you know where it will be located? I heard a rumor about Jumbo coming here from someone else, but didn't want to get too excited till it actually happens.
Re: Jumbo supermarkets.
Me too, Osorno has had one for at least 4 years. Even Puerto Varas has a little tiny one, not really a proper Jumbo more a JumbitoDonnybrook wrote:I'm surprised they left it so long.

Re: Jumbo supermarkets.
I was in one in Santiago the other day and they had 4 different variety of mushrooms include a shit-take one (or something like that) that I had ever seen before in Chile. I felt like I was in the US.
Re: Jumbo supermarkets.
Hmm, shiitake can be found in any Lider or Unimarc. Too bad there are no enokitake mushrooms, they are good for salads.
Also nice peanut butter without hydrogenated oils sometimes disappears from Unimarc and Lider never has it. I hope Jumbo will fix this issue.

Re: Jumbo supermarkets.
There is a good selection of food products in Tottus markets...they are quite similar to Trader Joe's or Whole Foods markets in California. Stopped by the one in Reñaca yesterday and they had a nice selection of imported food items from Tesco. We generally shop at Santa Isabel in Viña and occasionally at the Jumbo in Valparaíso.

In order to house such nice brands but a bit pricy for the Chile taste bud?Trader Joe's or Whole Foods
Despite if in the states, always go to Whole Foods and Trader Joe's frequently for daily needs.
Don't remember well but in Santiasco, went a Syupa-ma-ket there. Why there are many armed in store guards ?
Laying wary eyes on shoppers? For a moment, thought I was in a bank !

Because of the astronomical level of shoplifting, and also to stop (unpaid-for) in-store consumption of merchandise.HybridAmbassador wrote: Don't remember well but in Santiasco, went a Syupa-ma-ket there. Why there are many armed in store guards ?

And of course to try to prevent the latest phenomenon: Turbazos
In Santiago 33 supermarkets have had to close this year because of the criminal activities they attract.
Trouble is that all the extra security has a cost, its the consumer who ends up paying for it..........
