The brainchild of the USSR, which in my opinion is very good. There is still a culture of service and courtesy of the sellers. There is a small cozy cafe after reconstruction, a toilet and even an elevator.
A monumental building, like everything in the center of Minsk. The spirit of the former greatness of the vast country of the USSR has been preserved. I was not particularly surprised by the filling of goods. We just came to see.
It was very interesting to visit a place with a similar name from your city. I am glad that the place has preserved a piece of Soviet times and is used specifically for people, without Moscow pathos.
The choice is huge, there is almost everything . there are days of discounts.but the prices are not the lowest in the city.now the renovation is on the 1st floor, so all departments have been stung a little.
Outside it is an architectural monument, inside it is as if it has returned to the Soviet Union: clean, culturally, modestly)
There is no such abundance as in the Moscow GUM, as if there are different principles in the shops)
I don't like the store. The prices of goods, even on discount days, are excessively high. There is nowhere to park the car. You have to put the car in paid Parking on Komsomolskaya Street. And sometimes there is no place at all. This is definitely a minus.
The choice of goods is large, for different tastes and budgets. The staff is polite and courteous.
There are days of discounts and then very good discounts.The location is convenient. The product is of good quality.
I love this store, I really like the atmosphere. We are pleased with the wide range of products - you will always find what you are looking for, convenient location and friendly sellers.
Many thanks to the sales consultant Galina Vasilyevna Romanova, for her qualified help in choosing underwear, for her attention, kindness, and the ability to approach the client correctly.
During the next trip to Minsk, we will be glad to return to you again.
Guests from Kaliningrad.
A large selection of clothes from different brands, we applied to the atelier, inexpensive, the only thing is there is no card payment in the atelier. The GUM itself is big and there is something to look at.
I really liked that Minsk GUM is a store of Belarusian manufacturers! Here you can find various things made in Belarus. Prices are lower than in Russia, of course. The bag was bought 3 times cheaper than they are in Moscow.
I thank Galina Vasilyevna Romanova (underwear department) for her help in the selection.. tactful, polite and knowledgeable..if possible, reward!!!..for the sake of such employees, it is worth going to Gum..I'm not a frequent guest, but I know I'll be happy to come back!!
The building is history! A former example of Soviet trade! For both customers and employees. Where the management treated any seller, storekeeper, loader with respect! People were appreciated, respected, and supported.
The store has flourished recently .The assortment is diverse.The discounts are real.Repairs will be interesting On the 4th floor a good cafe is not expensive
The sellers in the store are the engine of trade. I went to get a pillowcase - I left with a pillow and a set of bed linen ! And I don't regret it at all :-)

There was once a good store - everything was there, the sellers of course hid good goods, but you could buy them. It's better not to come here now. There is nothing good here and probably won't be anymore.
I would like to express my special gratitude to some sellers of the jewelry department for saving the family budget (after talking with them, I don't want to buy anything anymore). The most dissatisfied (work/life) person, 0 help, and even sarcastic remarks. I strongly recommend the management of the department store to work with the staff (especially the jewelry department) customer orientation!) In general, I like the department store, I am pleased with excellent discounts, interesting interior.
We went to the salon of men's and women's shoes, the range of shoes for ladies is meager. There are a lot of Chinese shoes, and Marco is not enough of what is presented, it was difficult for me to choose the right model, my size is 39! So, I advise the commodity expert to better study the trends by spring and update the GUM with cool models! The sellers are friendly and responsive! I will definitely come again! In spring
GUM itself is quite typical, it was disappointing that you can't find an elevator so easily. There is a dining room at the very top, but the assortment in it is small.
An excellent store and not very expensive compared to Moscow, and at the same time there is an excellent inexpensive dining room.

A very interesting assortment of a mixture of Belarusian goods and various consumer goods thematically distributed over several floors. A large selection of locally produced leather goods at reasonable prices. Authentic service with a slight Soviet touch).
The best department store /shopping center in Minsk, perhaps that. A rather large assortment of goods, a pleasant atmosphere, good prices. Separately, I would like to mention the cafe (2nd floor) - a convenient place to relax, very intelligent sellers, an excellent selection of desserts. Great.

It is not clear who the GUM store is designed for. In my opinion, this should be the main store of the city. In fact, there are a lot of things, but not interesting or necessary. High prices.
A huge range of textiles, fabrics, clothes, cosmetics, tableware.
A very attractive system of flexible discounts every day.
Budget dining room on the 4th floor.
I would like to draw the attention of the management to an important point that plays a big role in creating the image of the department store. The presence of background music in the halls is an important point. Walking around a huge store in complete silence and listening to the echo is not very conducive to a good mood and a desire to purchase. Please pay attention to this.
For an amateur. The building is beautiful, Stalinist. The assortment is the same as in other department stores in Minsk. Those who live close can walk. But I wouldn't go to it specifically, I like TSUM better. It is more expensive in Gum (I don't know about everything, but clothes are definitely more expensive, although these are Belarusian manufacturers).
GUM and , more precisely , its LEADERSHIP is obvious ...they are doing everything for the people at a time when wayward well-wishers under the general name of the collective West are doing worse for us, the ordinary people of BELARUS...Go and see the new cafe on the second floor and it has a solid separate toilet...His MAJESTY the BUYER can safely choose the product and the choice without stopping...I am SURE that the store's MANAGEMENT will not stop there and will not stop ...there are many signs and everyone can get acquainted...YOUR time here will thank YOU in the future - decent sneakers made in BELOOZERSK work for me reliably and cannot be compared with others...today, I searched unsuccessfully for a bag and only bought it in GUM, and this is the result of the work of smart and professional marketers of this store...The WHOLE team wishes them a HAPPY NEW YEAR, 2023, GOOD HEALTH and dynamics and progress in their work!
Not what I expected. Consumer goods, a good department with fabrics, I bought cute magnets, the choice is small. If you go further, there is a steep shopping mall with excellent national things underground... I saw it by accident. The locals themselves do not know the national attractions well, although they are decent.
A huge assortment, you can choose for every taste. But there is no help from employees, no matter what kind of question they would ask. For the central department store in Minsk, and for the whole republic, employees can try to be more efficient and more customer-oriented
Conveniently located in the city center. The prices are reasonable. It is filled with various establishments and goods inside .I really like it, I recommend going there, maybe you'll find what you need.
