Minimarket
About
A supermarket or grocery store on Zanzibar, Minimarket sits on Gizenga St with the address R5QQ+38G. It is a supermarket serving the island's shoppers.
Customers have scored Minimarket 3.9 out of 5 from 34 reviews, a middling but steady reputation among island grocery stores. The shop stands on Gizenga St, which puts it close to the historic lanes of Stone Town and within reach of Nungwi, Kendwa, Paje, Jambiani, Bwejuu, Kiwayu and Matemwe. That spread of nearby places makes it a practical stop for visitors based in different parts of Zanzibar. Thirty-four reviews is a modest sample, yet the score has held firm.
As a supermarket, Minimarket carries the everyday groceries, drinks and household goods that residents and visitors buy regularly. Its shelves serve both local shoppers and travellers putting together meals in their own accommodation. Baskets here fill with the staples a self-catering stay demands.
Zanzibar and Pemba have a tropical climate, hot and humid all year with sea breezes along the coast, so cold drinks and fresh supplies are worth picking up before a day out. Islam is the religion of the large majority, and Ramadan, Eid and Friday prayers shape the weekly rhythm, which can shift shopping hours around those observances. The Zanzibar red colobus monkey is found only on Zanzibar, and the Pemba flying fox only on Pemba, drawing visitors to the island's forests between errands.
