Groceries
Most of the Large Grocery stores are found in the big shopping malls. While you can find more options and sometimes better prices elsewhere, many stick with the large chains for their more international standards, cleanliness and consistency. Listed below are some favorite supermarkets, as well as several smaller shops and markets to get groceries.
Keep in mind that many use grocery delivery options. The ordering and delivery isn't as sophisticated as in many places, but they offer a break from the traffic if you need a few things without a trip out. Glovo and Yango Deli are both popular options (download their apps for more).

Small Supermarkets, Discount Stores
& Speciality Shops:
Bulk purchasing means better prices. The price tags on the shelf will tell you the minimum number of items you must purchase at once (usually a minimum of 2). Toilet paper, cleaning supplies, some groceries, juice, alcohol and beer, rice, flour, canned goods etc. Go for the deals, but be prepared to come home with lots! (Credit Card Accepted)

Across from ProCash is the Barry Callebaut chocolate factory.
