Much as I have a pet hate for supermarkets, the Vilton chain are quite acceptable to me. They are firstly Bulgarian owned based all around the city of Yambol, i.e. you don't need a car to get there to shop. Secondly, they are all on a small scale and more like a grocer shop. This one I particularly like because there are no trolley to push around, just baskets. this one has recently undergone a complete renovation, but not got bigger! Refreshing indeed to see no progress in that department - Oh yes I nearly forgot, only one checkout point!
Yambol is not the prettiest City in Bulgaria, but it does have a unique character which is now in the process of being captured by camera. What you see now in Yambol will be short lived in a world of change, especially with the EU strangling the heart and soul of Bulgaria's culture with directives and uniform regulations.

I always prefer those little mom and pop shops to bigger stores.
