Siem Reap's supermarket scene has grown significantly over the past decade, offering residents and long-stay visitors a reliable source of imported and local produce. Lucky Mall remains the flagship, with a full-size supermarket on its ground floor stocking everything from French cheese to Cambodian sticky rice. Angkor Market and several independent supermarkets cluster around the town centre and National Road 6, catering to both expats and tourists. Prices for imported goods run 30–80% above European rates, but local products — rice, tropical fruit, local sauces, and fresh vegetables — are remarkably cheap. Most supermarkets are air-conditioned and offer trolleys, making the experience comfortable even in peak heat. Loyalty cards and occasional promotions make supermarket shopping worthwhile for weekly shoppers.
