Thanks!
I haven't figured out the Swiss equivalent of a department store (if such a thing even exists) which is where I'd normally go to buy these basic items :-). Can anyone suggest places to buy an umbrella, beard trimmer, and slow cooker? (Obviously it does not need to be the same place for all three :-))
You can get all three at a large Coop or Migros.
Hm, I looked in the Coop near HB but it didn't have any of them! Guess it was too small. Can you suggest a large one?
Manor? Off bahnhofstrasse? I know they carry all 3 in the Manor in Letzipark (bus 31) ....
The one near HB is pretty big but carries food items only.
Try Coop St. Annahof or Manor on Bahnhofstrasse. These are actual department stores.
I'm not in your area so I'll have to defer to those who are on that. The bigger Migros though are the ones with two or three big M's on the side of the building.
If you want the electronics separately, you can try Melectronics, Interdiscount, or Fust, for example.
The Coop near Renweg tram stop may be a better bet for you as is much bigger St. Annahof Coop City All items you need would be in the larger stores like Coop city and or Migros MM / MMM stores
Already been mentioned, above, but Manor is the Swis s department store ...... however, their website/online shop really sucks, if you want to look in advance.
Just go to the bricks and mortar shop.
Otherwise most cities tend to have a specialist Umbrella/Beard Trimmer/Slow Cooker shop.
Thanks everyone! I'll look tomorrow :-)
Hah
I recommend you to go to the Coop city in Shilcity shopping mall( tram 13 line)
Or Migros in Glatt shopping mall .
They have a large number of electronic stuffs for kitchen and bathroom.
I'd second that. Coop in Sihl City is really big and would be a good place to start. Or Migros Electonics also has a good range. Look online to find out where a big one is. I bought my slow cooker in the UK and brought it back in my suitcase. it survived!
