In addition to a modern store design and an extensive fresh food offer, the store features the latest retail technologies and instore solutions including a food court area, where customers have access to a wide selection of ready-to-cook and ready-to-heat meals.

A highlight of the store is the cooking demonstration area, where customers can also join workshops.
