Heredia is a Great Place For Shopping
Heredia's dramatic population growth spawned the development of some major shopping centers. Heredia has many of the major grocery store chains such as Automercado and from the Walmart brand such as Maxi Bodega, Mas-X-Menos, and Pali as well as an EPA store (much like Home Depot) in Belen. Heredia has 2 major shopping complexes:
Paseo de las Flores, which is well known and the largest as it's home to almost 200 shops/restaurants and a robust food court with American main-stays like McDonalds, Subway, Burger Factory, Panda Chinese and more. With it's specialty shops and restaurants, an 8 theatre cinema, and central location, this mall is considered one of the best in the country.
Plaza Real Cariari, is one of the areas most established shopping centers which has been around since 1997. Although not as large as Paseo de las flores, this center has all of the same types of restaurants, shops, and stores and a movie theatre too.
