It was interesting to look in. On the ground floor there is a large selection of Belarusian cosmetics. I bought Belita's products as a gift to my friend and myself at the same time. I'm happy to use it now, I regret that I didn't get enough)) On the second floor and on the ground floor (entrance from the street!) - a large selection of leather goods. Bags, shoes of good quality, beautiful colors, there are interesting models. In principle, this is all that I have noted for myself.
Such a store from my childhood (1980). The prices of goods from Belarusian manufacturers leave much to be desired - it is not justifiably expensive, and the models are so-so. It used to be better.
I recently visited Gum. I really liked it there. Especially the shoe department, the choice of shoes is gorgeous, for every taste.There are a lot of Belarusian shoes, and there are also imported ones.The sellers are smiling and friendly, they helped me with the choice.As a result, she left with the purchase and was very happy.The cosmetics department is also good, the selection of products is huge.Thank you,!!!!I will definitely come to you again.

A wonderful journey into childhood. These are the kind of department stores I had in my childhood. Beautiful, light, pompous, wonderful assistants in branded clothes. Local products on all floors: jewelry, cosmetics, clothes for men and women, shoes, haberdashery, etc. A wonderful dining room on the top floor. Very pleasant feelings and memories.
There are few goods, a hardware store is not a hardware store, but just a few computer monitors and a stand with mice, if I'm wrong, I apologize, because I didn't see more computer products

The atmosphere of those times is perfect for a relaxing time, interesting shopping, there is a cafe, a good selection of Belarusian goods at reasonable prices.
A beautiful monumental building, mostly Belarusian goods are on sale. In the children's department, polite sellers helped a lot with purchases, in all other departments they reluctantly answered questions, especially the seller of underwear and bathrobes in women's clothing distinguished herself.
A great place to shop. A wide range of products in any field. Lots of sellers and free space. The location and the building itself is simply gorgeous. I definitely recommend you to visit.
The building attracts with its architecture, after all, the main department store of the capital. And inside, greetings from the past, maybe, except that now there is more choice. Those who are looking for branded items are definitely not here.
We are all used to trendy shopping malls from now on. Gum is different, it is peculiar, historical, inside when you go everywhere you can see these massive columns, high ceilings.
There is nothing supernatural in the assortment, clothes, textiles, tableware, cosmetics - basically everything is made in Belarus.
A good range of leather bags, men's and women's, a wide range of hosiery for children and adults. Previously, they were more often pleased with days of discounts, -30 or -35%, now there is no such thing left, discounts are mainly at a discount.
I would like to single out a point with the sale of nuts and dried fruits on the 1st floor, although there is almost always a queue, but it's worth it, and prices are lower than at other points in Minsk.
A wonderful and versatile, large store where everyone can find a purchase to their liking and taste, or you can just walk around. Great atmosphere, great and professional staff, a wide variety of high-quality goods!
In short, please yourself, have fun spending time in this beautiful, big store!!!!
there is a department store, there are a lot of trading facilities, but these stairs with high steps kill, if in winter here and in warm jackets, then not only will you get tired, but you will sweat
The staff is mostly very professional and friendly. There is no elevator. A large selection of goods produced by Belarus. Wide size range. There are free toilets. There is free drinking water near the information desk. It is very difficult to open a savings card. Not only do you need to buy it for 4 rubles, but then you need to go down from the top floor to the first floor to activate it. And then go up to the top floor and only after that it will be able to be applied at the checkout. If you could see the height of their ceilings and the length of the staircases, you would understand what a horror it is. The most terrible department is the shoe store on the ground floor. Complete lack of service, absolute disregard for customers. We visited a huge number of shops in the Republic of Belarus, we did not meet worse sellers.
I even shot a video about Minsk and about the GUM building.
I love this building - a kind of historical heritage of Soviet culture. Stairs inside, elegant wall decoration. Everything is so monumental and speaks about the stability of the state and the people.
The new design of the department store - it has become more attractive; an updated cafe with excellent coffee and desserts (the girl working there is very friendly); also attract discounts on many products. We recommend it!
We visited Minsk in November 2023.
I was so disappointed how unpresentable this place is in the center of Minsk. Frankly, it's a market with very cheap trash.
One of the advantages is that the toilet is free and clean.
But it was like I plunged into the 90s with a taste of the Soviet Union, a very sad aftertaste remained. The style can be preserved, but give it its own charm, not cheapness, as it looks.
I will not come to this place for sure anymore, I do not advise anyone to visit the city as a tourist.
I like. It is possible to leave outerwear in the cells (both on the ground floor, and on 2 and 3 in front of the entrance to the children's department and the women's).
There is a cafe on the 2nd floor. It's comfortable to sit. I left the child with a cup of tea, and I went to the children's department, looked at what I planned, and only then called my daughter and we already tried on specific things. But there is no traditional black and green tea in the cafe. You will be offered ginger, fruit or sea buckthorn tea. My daughter did not appreciate sea buckthorn tea, but she had no choice.
There is a dining room on the 4th floor. But it works on weekdays until 17.00. Later on Saturday.
A historical place. A beautiful place, prices are pleasant to the touch and pleasing to the eye ceilings are high prices are low and the choice is a large small assortment on the second floor in the buffet of sweets but it's even good a lot of sweet little teeth as I said once or not I always said so commas came up with panties in the assortment and socks are and the kettle is all there is not something bad well, ask different people, someone will help you mix sugar tea with a spoon in the cafeteria uh ah and other interjections. I recommend you to visit.
The exterior is beautifully decorated for the new year. The interior is very full of different goods, the logic of the location is not entirely clear. Accept cash and card payments (including the WORLD)
A beautiful building, as if it had returned to the USSR. Shops in GUM are like in childhood, goods are collected on one square. Things are hung according to size.
About 3 weeks ago I got a shift of qualified personnel who knows the product range well. I bought a blanket, bed linen and decorative 2 pillows. I spent 20-25 minutes on the entire purchase selection. I didn't pay attention to the employee's name, a woman. How important is good service in trade, a competent approach to the buyer with his choice of purchase. It was nice to make a rather big purchase in a short time.)))
And when I got to gum about 2 weeks ago. I was amazed that the staff was not all attentive to the service at the checkout. Constantly in all departments, and also in the children's department, soft magnets were not demagnetized. On all the security gates of the store there was a trigger for me to pass through them. As a result, there was a constant check of me and my purchases by checks. The staff was so slow in service, it felt like I was sleeping. The staff was under the age of 20-22, young people. Slow, inattentive, they can't tell you anything about the product. Or they are not interested in all this, so what was the point of going to work in trade then. In trade, you need speed, attentiveness, talkativeness, knowledge of everything about the assortment of this department, in which at least you work. And other positive qualities.
GUM Administration. Please pay attention to your staff.
Thanks for understanding
We made repairs, it became beautiful and neat! There is a cafe on the 2nd floor, you can drink coffee and eat dessert - fresh. Namely, pancakes and waffles for an amateur.... for such a price, you could make it tastier.
After the renovation, the first floor became fresher and more modern. The staff is kind of tired, not young. They often gossip about everyday, personal topics in front of customers. It's like they don't notice you. The guards are of course extremely suspicious) Discount and seasonal discounts. Of course, the building itself has great architectural and historical value. I do not get tired of admiring!
A good supermarket, lots of household goods. You can find everything you need here. There is also a dining room on the 4th floor where you can have a quick and satisfying lunch. I visited her several times
A beautiful and inexpensive store with a large selection of everything that is necessary in everyday life. Convenient location, good staff, explains and prompts on the assortment
My favorite store. I visit it very often. The assortment is excellent. You can buy everything. The staff is polite. There are always promotions and discounts.The quality of the goods is impressive. Factory tailoring. Tableware,household chemicals,a wide range of care cosmetics. I recommend it!
There is a prodmag in the GUM store network. Shchedry, 11 Orlovskaya str., with faulty light signage and facade lighting, broken tiles on the porch, lack of keys in the storage room of the trading floor.
GUM is a legend. Even if there is no desire to buy anything, it is very interesting to see the architecture and interior. Otherwise, a fairly wide range of products is presented.
As a historical building, to see the architecture and please the eye, it is definitely a must-visit place
In terms of the products presented, it is very doubtful, the prices are higher than other stores and the assortment is not modern
A very nice place. There is something to see, something to buy. There is a cafe where you can have a snack. Clean, light, comfortable. I recommend you to visit.
A huge store with 4 floors of goods for any choice. Ranging from groceries to garden equipment. Big discounts especially on jewelry. The staff will always tell you what you are interested in.I did not complain about the quality of the goods if anything can be exchanged or handed over.
Someday GUM will stop looking like a Soviet supermarket, but so far everything there is as old-fashioned and tasteless as possible. I am pleased with the number of cosmetics.
I visited with pleasure, bought a pair of leather belts for my husband and son. As a shopping center is not interesting, to be honest, it cannot be compared with Russian ones, but as an architectural object it is very cool. We went to Belarus not for clothes, but to see the country and culture, we liked it.
I came on the advice of the commercial director of a company that produces stylish Belarusian things to buy a dress for the anniversary, which are on display in Gum. As a result, the women's clothing section did not know about the collection, after a while I found them myself. The sellers and the head of the section had no desire to sell and offer at all. As well as buying from me in principle. No one even participated, although she asked for help in choosing, and more than once. I won't go for clothes, it's easier to order on the WB, the service is still the same... I haven't been in other sections, maybe the situation is better there.
GUM, in general, is a good store, there are a lot of goods and it is quite quite good, and even in clothes you can find something to buy.... And the building is simply cosmic, especially the entrance doors!!!
BUT, I have always been surprised by the advertising of discounts: today there is a 35% discount on all non-food products over 5 rubles. OK, that's good, everyone goes for a 35% discount, but at the checkout it turns out that more than half of the assortment already has its own discount of 20-25% maximum.... And only on the website you can find a list of SUPPLIERS!!! Personally, as a buyer, it is not very convenient for me to read each label and check with the list on whom I have what discount... And everything is hanging in a pile, only some recognizable manufacturers can be easily identified ...
So it turns out that you go for one percent discount, but you get absolutely another ...
BUT there are also PROS: there are positions in each department, they are separately and noticeably highlighted, for which the discount can reach up to 50%, although, taking into account the space allowances, it is not much cheaper than in a store near the house... But, nevertheless, this is psychology: a little cheaper, it's already very pleasant)))
