Report
Just situated opposite the town hall on the corner so it is easily missed. Staff very friendly although there are not that many counters. Unfortunately the diplays in the windows do not necessarily reflect which products they have available as twice now I've tried to open a product which is still being advertised but was withdrawn a few days ago.
Still, friendly staff who are very helpful!
