Supermarkets
Standard and premium supermarkets for everyday and imported grocery shopping. For help choosing between them, see our guides to the best supermarkets in Shanghai and imported food in Shanghai.
Aldi 奥乐齐
Aldi stores are too numerous to list individually here, but branches are conveniently listed on the official Aldi website and map apps like AMap. Aldi focuses heavily on value, with a large proportion of own-brand products helping keep prices lower than many imported supermarkets in Shanghai.
City’Super 城市超市
A Hong Kong-originated premium supermarket with a strong imported food selection. Three Shanghai locations, all in major malls.

Warehouse Clubs
Membership required for both clubs below. Annual fees apply. Best suited to bulk buying and stocking up — less practical for daily shopping. See our best supermarkets guide for a full comparison of both.
Costco 开市客
The American warehouse club. Annual membership required. Not central, but worth the trip for bulk buying and the famous food court.
Sam’s Club 山姆会员商店
Walmart’s membership warehouse club. More locations than Costco and strong on imported snacks, dairy and meat.

Why AMap Instead of Google Maps?
Google Maps is unreliable in mainland China because locations are often offset or inaccurate due to differences between Chinese and international mapping systems. All links in this guide open in AMap (Gaode), which is one of the navigation apps most locals actually use in Shanghai.
Store Opening Hours in Shanghai
Most supermarkets in Shanghai open between 9am and 10am and close around 10pm, although wet markets usually open much earlier in the morning and close earlier in the day. Opening times can also change during Chinese public holidays, especially around Chinese New Year. Check Dianping (大众点评) or AMap for live information before making a special trip.
