Friendship Store (Youyi Shangdian)
Shanghai
Friendship stores once catered exclusively to foreigners, but now compete freely (though not always successfully) with department stores and shopping plazas.

Prices are relatively high (no bargaining allowed) but are generally still lower than in high-end hotel shops; and quality is decent. You can start here to get an overview of what's available in Shanghai at a fair price, shop the streets and malls, then return to make any last-minute purchases. There is another branch in the western part of town. Both are open 10am to 10pm.Friendship stores once catered exclusively to foreigners, but now compete
