If you've got something to say, keep it positive.

1. can you imagine the US having supermarkets like this? because I can’t. the whole idea is just so anti-American, and that’s sad to me. no, we have to have these big boxy giant super stores that are nothing but monolithic eye-sores. if you ask me the whole “american way” needs to be completely redefined.

2. There’s certainly a place for these — as you note the Austin Whole Foods is a great success. But I wonder if Jeff (above) has grocery-shopped and cooked for a family for years on end. I relish my rather small&dowdy familiar nearby market with a fresh predictable supply of what I need, park-at-the-door in-and-out, no need to dress for the child-free theater of it all.

   And when I’m a touring foodie, not a 3xday short order chef, yes, I happily amble around Central Market and venues that resemble these coldly handsome gloss&glass spaces, in the US and elsewhere.

7. Very beautiful. It’s a lesson that even the most mundane tasks can involve beautiful surroundings, beautiful experiences. Great article!.

8. These are very nice stores, I was in Austria on a supermarket visit recently and saw first hand just what they are like. Much better than Whole Foods in London!

10. Beautiful but not functional. That’s why the same crap cost 3 times as much in Europe.

    Yes, Obama & Hitler give/gave good speeches. We will never become Europe, and I am damn glad we will not.

    I think it’s so functional for me to select many things there for many hours

14. I recently discovered NIEDERNDORF while driving to Munich from Innesbruck. the whole setting was out of this world. Not sure how MPries would tackle an urban context like london although we would definitely have the right market for these stores. Mpries come to England we need quality like you !

19. This supermarket is the best i’ve ever seen in my whole entire life, i’ve lived in U.S.A for 25 years i’ve never seen something like this. My question is this ? can we do better than that: I don’t know…..

22. I stayed for a week in Axams (rando city in the mountains outside of Innsbruck) last summer, but travelled all around Europe for about 2 months (I was a college student at the time.) MPREIS was the best out off all super markets I went to anywhere in Europe. The atmosphere was much nicer than any supermarket I have been to anywhere in America. Really, I did not find prices to be so outrageous that I couldn’t afford the food I wanted (except for the premium I was paying on the exchange rate.) MREIS rocks. How hard? Well I’ll put it this way, I just googled it for fun and it’s been almost a year since I’ve actually been to one.
