Kong Fui supermarket located on Palm Beach Rd. has closed.

The only large supermarket in the hotel area open late on Sundays now is Cheng's - open until 8pm on Sundays.

Crying or Very sad Never ever got to see it finished. I haven't been to Aruba since 2009, when they were busy constructing it.

My opinion only...it was just not an appealing place.
We stopped a couple times. The meat selection was not very attractive.
They just did not have the right mix to attract crowds from the high rise area.

No, that's Chengs and they are still open. We like Chengs when we arrive on Sundays since they're open late.

Kong Fui was about 3 yrs old and was located on Palm Beach Rd. on your way to Bingo's. It never was fully stocked and I'm guessing the new Super Food that opened finally sealed its fate.

I remember hearing a supermarket opened across from LaCabana. What is the name of it and has anyone been there?

It's the new Super Food. They opened last Nov. It's similar to the old Super Food but much larger and with alot more selection. They still carry alot of Dutch products, too, which is fun.

Great, thanks Amy! I've always like Dutch products and now after visiting Amsterdam, I like them more. In fact, I got hooked on Andrelon Hair Products, which a friend of mine said I can find in a Beauty Product store between town and LaCabana!
