I can’t remember offhand but there’s Fame women’s clothing, a photo shop, beauty shop - skincare and perfumes, some men’s clothing store, a linen shop (I think? They have towels..) there are probably another 2-3 that I’m forgetting.
Then there’s Hype the new supermarket

It's amazing! I love the new geula stall feels very Israeli and can't wait for the food court to open. I'm just worried about how much I'll be spending!

The small shops are very nice. I do wish fame wouldn’t have done full windows facing the street.
I had higher expectations of Hype. I spend a lot of time in America and was expecting something more akin to the grocery stores there. It’s just a regular grocery store that’s more spacious. I was expecting the American style layouts of their aisles instead of the “open warehouse” style that they went with

I think they're supposed to be cheaper than a regular grocery so that's why the layout is quite basic.
I do find it very comfortable to shop there though.

The store selling the linen also sell dishes, pots, cutlery, tablecloths, towels and dish towels.
Mobile Unlimited is there too.
KEZ will be joining aswell.
There's a fancy looking gift shop. Though, it's Hardly noticeable.
A jewellery store is on the way.

There aren't any חידושים really. I thought they'd be importing different items that are currently unavailable here.
Also, all chicken products are cheaper at Carmel across the street.

Those buying at Cost Shop are not impressed with the prices. However, I never shopped there to begin with.

I agree 1000% with you, though KK has tonnes of stuff from OU, OK KOF K and other hechsherim which the majority of SH don't use.

Customer toilets?

Yes there are! Just outside of Hype, down the stairs to the parking lot and there are mens and womens toilets.

Gosh. How would one even know there are toilets if one doesn't use the car park? Is it not a bit spooky down there? I never particularly liked that car park area.

We don`t use the car park but my kids wanted to watch the boxes going down the conveyor belt to the parking lot on the day Hype opened and literally just down the stairs are the toilets. It`s not in the parking lot proper, it`s right at the bottom of the stairs. You need to go through another doorway to get to the parking lot. Really doesn`t feel spooky. Convenient to take my little freshly toilet trained son to the toilet when we are shopping on the hill and he suddenly becomes desperate!
