Kunshan Grocery Stores

Shopping at RT Supermarket on a weeknight

There are 6 major groceries in Kunshan.  The one I’ve found the most helpful in attaining a variety of foreign products is Auchan.  I must warn you, it can be VERY busy, like shopping in the middle of a Black Friday sale, especially on the weekends.  The other stores are all good and usually do not vary greatly in pricing, however, their selection is somewhat limited.

All supermarkets will usually have taxis or rickshaws to easily return home, except for Metro.  Metro is the Chinese version of a wholesaler, like Sam’s Club or Costco.  It is a neat place to shop, and carries a great selection of foreign foods, but it is quite far from the city center and difficult to to return back home.  If you visit this grocery, hire a driver to take you there and back.


Grocery Stores in Kunshan:
Auchan         downtown
Carrefour      downtown near Parkson
Walmart        currently shut down
RT Mart         downtown near Oasis Bar & Grill
TESCO         on the southside near the high speed train station
Lotus             on the northside of town 
Metro             on the northside of town
