Quito Malls

Shopping

V!VA User‘s Description

At the opposite end of the scale, Quito's malls are shiny, slick and expensive. Wealthy Quitenos just love wandering around them in the evenings and at weekends. Many recognisable brand names can be found here, such as Bally, Liz Clairborne, Nine West, Diesel and even a Tower records store in the Quicentro mall. In each mall there are huge food courts where familiar fast food restaurants such as KFC and Taco Bells coexist with chains catering to more traditional tastes. Groceries and other supermarket goods can be picked up in the ubiquitous Supermaxi supermarket chain. There are stores to be found in the El Jardin, CCI, El Bosque and El Recreo malls.
