These stores are actually huge department stores that carry almost everything from housewares and tools to linens and shoes. These low priced stores are located in several locations throughout the city of Panama and David. The clothes are brand new and cost less than going to a thrift store in the U.S!

We walked more the month we were there than we did the entire year before the trip.
