• Lots of options but.....

First of all I really like to have an all vegan supermarket close by (it literally has everything a regular supermarket has). It's easy to get there since it's just outside downtown Essen and it offers non-vegans, novices and people who are looking for some more exotic ingredients/ foods a good opportunity to shop. The prices are a little high but they seem to improve their product range towards all-budget-foods. If you need anything you don't wan't to order online you can get there and it's very likely they have it. Anyway, there are some things I don't like about the company or things I'm at least thoughtful about: first, the company owner/ founder seems to be not a guy you want to stick around with if you're open minded or liberal in a political sense. There are more or less reasond rumors about him being an esoteric with links to right-wing ideology and sometimes it's even told he's anti-semitic. Of course, these are just rumors but they seem to have some ground. Second it seems they don't treat their employees very well. From several sources I've heard the staff's treated in a very authoritarian way and the overall atmosphere of work is very bad and rude. Although I like their great product range and the opportunity to get in, grab stuff and get out without thinking about the ingredients of products I always consider if i really need to go there because of the latter thoughtsregarding Veganz.
