Grand Lucky has opened a new branch in Sanur 2 days ago. Located on the ByPass, not far away from Mc Donald (Google map is your friend)
We went to explore it this morning, and were VERY satisfied by what we found.
The supermarket is rather big, well laid out, the aisles are large enough, the goods are arranged in a proper way. It is of course very clean and well lighted. Staff are plenty and very helpful, supervisors are keeping an eye on everything, let's hope this continues. Plenty cashiers open. At the cash out there is a person to pack your stuff in your bag (not sure how long that will last...). In fact it could be a supermarket in France (well, except for packing the stuff in your bag ...)
This morning (10:00 am) there were a quite a number of customers (considering the present situation), a mix of locals, westerners and other Asians.
A LOT of imported food, American, European, Korean, Japanese and Chinese. Good thing (marketing wise) to have targeted those 3 last populations.
Prices seem reasonable, I noted a few things cheaper than at Popular, but than Popular is known to be expensive. And I am not the kind who keeps memory and permanently compare prices. When I want something, I buy it, except if the price is really exorbitant. Like imported cheese...
And the parking is free ! Nothing pisses me more off than having to pay 4000 Rp parking in a shop where I just spend 1 Juta Rp. I know, the parkings are often outsources, this explains that, but still !
This will clearly hurt Hardy's (anyway they deserve it, the place is a miserable shopping experience), and probably also Carrefour as Sanur people have no reason to drive there anymore, except for clothing, furniture, hardware.
It should not impact Popular too much, as they more a "proximity supermarket".
Well, this is just my perception, others may of course have a completely different view.....
