It's always been a weird department store. Both in Soviet times and in the 90s, and now too. For some reason, my grandmother loved to visit it, it seemed to her that it was just cool. In general, it would be worth going in to go back to the USSR, but it seems to me that this deja vu will cover you on any street today 🙈
A store for a deep province, prices are off the scale, except that discounts of 20%"but they do not save either. Unless you can buy a refrigerator, a vacuum cleaner or a washing machine...although at the moment you can only buy consumer goods for a 30% discount, good household appliances are supposedly already at a discount and the promotion does not work for it...
The prices are a bit overpriced due to the expensive rent. And so you can find almost everything in one place! There is a large transport hub nearby, so it will not be difficult to get there
A wonderful assortment: haberdashery, furs, carpets, tableware, food. The only thing that would be worth updating the facade of the building, both external and internal.
Minus one. These are the prices
Even with their cosmic discount of 30%, the price turns out to be higher than buying in a more business-oriented store without a discount (of course, this does not work for all products, but for most)
When buying something, it is better to quickly compare prices on the Internet
A large shopping center, as a rule, has a Belarusian assortment, to put it mildly - the time of the USSR, but that's not the point: there is no toilet for visitors here! There are a lot of floors, a cafe, and the toilet near the hotel is the nearest.... we could have thought of this moment somehow...
The store is nostalgic, it's stuck in the past. it seems to be big and there are a lot of things, but there is nothing to choose. many premises require renovation, but the management preferred to purchase a trading house on nemiga and expand rather than put the existing commercial object in order. it is not wise, like all state objects in our country)
In front of the school, the assortment of goods is better than in the Central Department Store, it is very inconvenient to hang things by size, they usually hang by height, but here on the contrary by volume
The store seems to have nothing. But they constantly change the location of the sections. Now children's shoes have been dragged to the 4th floor (not convenient).
Three points for trying to match modernity, but so far it has not worked out.
There is a pharmacy sign, but in the end none of the store employees knows where it is. The location of the store is convenient, but there is no normal parking. The assortment is huge.
A very vibe department store. I love buying socks here, plus they are wrapped in paper, it's so cozy. And the products of the Brest hosiery factory generally rule.

I haven't been to this department store for 4 years. I came to buy a man's coat. And imagine my surprise when at the end of August (after the 25th) I didn't find any men's coats in the department store (!!!). I already thought that I didn't have time and sold out everything))) Therefore, I decided to check with an employee in the men's department. The answer was that the coats come to them seasonally and will be bought by the end of September (!!!). There may already be frosts in Belarus by the end of September, but their coats will only go on sale.😁
In general, 4 years after the last visit, this department store left very negative feelings (and this is not because of the lack of a coat), but because everything is arranged very illogically. Children's shoes are placed in the corner of women's shoes. Everything lies one on top of the other (somewhere just scattered). The store's areas are large, but they are not used very rationally. There is no parking at the store (paid). Only the free one, where I couldn't find seats in 30 minutes of waiting.
Department Store Belarus, I am waiting for your improvement. I'm unlikely to come back to you before 4 years (I'll give you time for a change)
If you want to buy Belarusian products, I highly recommend it. Everything is there, the prices are adequate.
Unlike the central shops, there are no parking problems.
A very good department store with a large selection and good staff. They will always prompt, help and advise.

A Soviet-style department store. The goods are mainly from Belarusian manufacturers. A lot of knitwear, tableware, household items. The prices are quite high, but they often make days of big discounts.
It became bad to choose women's clothing, sizes are scattered by manufacturers, but it is NOT CONVENIENT for customers, I came to my size, looked, chose, and now the department store is losing its customers, I do not have the strength or patience to wander in search of my size of clothes, they organized the section in vain...
A large store, quite a decent assortment of goods. But the sellers... Not everything, of course, but the arrogance is off the scale. I just want to correct the crown with a slap on the head.
A meaningless and uninteresting object, typical ordinary clothes are delusional in value. There are more consumer-relevant goods in the subway crossing than in the "department store". According to the condition of the building, this is generally a separate topic……
It feels like it was built and NEVER repaired, but it was built a long time ago 😹
Back to the USSR…
The set of goods is not bad, I looked at bags and backpacks - high-quality, the prices correspond.
But it's trivial to find a toilet for a child - a problem - it's not in this old building, it's on the street, public, but paid. You can pay with a card anywhere
One of the first/oldest shopping malls in Minsk. The general store, as it used to be called. Although it is difficult to call it a full-fledged shopping center. There is a subway nearby. For buyers who arrived by car, there will be problems with parking
A good department store. There is a grocery department. The logistics are well thought out. The currency exchange office is on the 2nd floor. It would not be bad to place it on the first one...the constant queue at the "exchanger" does not create convenience. The cafe on the fourth floor is very cozy.
I hate this store. They're constantly selling some kind of crap. I understand that the Belarusian manufacturer needs to be promoted, but I would like a normal alternative. There are many departments, like everything, but at the same time there is always something missing. In general, the store is stuck in the perestroika period)
The store is comprehensive, there are many things. It is very profitable to buy on the days of price drops. It is advisable to purchase a store's customer card.
A kind of chimera of post-Soviet trade with all the ensuing consequences. But, for lack of a better one, it will also do fine. Good coffee on the top floor.
No matter how some people shout that there is a "soviet department" in our country and in the department store, the department store is a top place, and there are no boutiques there, but they are not needed.
I advise everyone to take a look. I bought myself a linen embroidery there. I'm walking, getting high. Those days when there are discounts are especially pleasing.
An outdated shopping center, shops are not very popular for today's youth, there is a cafe on the top floor. There is no toilet, there is a paid one on the street to the left of the main entrance
It's a good place. Especially after upgrading the sections.
But I would still separate toys and baby products. And returned the assortment to the office.
Nothing like a department store, of course it's not a shopping center. I was upset that the bathroom is separate on the street (for a fee). At 4m (if I'm not mistaken) you can have a snack on the floor, it's quite good to have a snack, minus the lack of a bathroom in the cafe, it's extremely inconvenient
For almost 33 years that I have lived in this area, the store has changed a lot for the better, although even in 1989 it was extremely good in terms of service and assortment. Weekly/seasonal discounts are sometimes very pleasing.

A department store that smacks of Soviet times. The century is gone, but the department store remains. Of course, everything is not so bad, you can pay with a card to the department store, but any technical failure requires the help of specialists from the entire department. Unfortunately, there is only an adequate stationery department from +.
A place of power!!! ❤️🔥💖🌹And also - a department store where you can buy everything, and at good discounts! The most iconic place not only in the capital, but also in the whole republic!
A good department store, they began to do a lot of promotions, without them, as in all department stores in Minsk, prices are not small.a wide variety of products.
