Where to buy a shopping trolley? That’s the big question… Well, that and ‘what are we having for dinner tonight?’, but we can’t help you with that one. What we can tell you — in detail — is where you can find shopping trolleys to suit all tastes and needs. Because yes, nowadays there are many ways to get your hands on one (or several, if you feel like it).
So if you’re looking for a good shopping trolley that’s comfortable, practical, attractive and durable, make yourself comfortable, because we’re going to tell you where to find it, what type of shopper you are (spoiler: we won’t judge you) and how to choose the ideal model for you.
1. Where can I buy a shopping trolley?
Shopping trolleys are everywhere… but not all are the same. If you want one that will last, won’t fall apart, rolls smoothly and doesn’t look like something out of an old-fashioned TV series, it’s best to know where to look.
Here are the most common options in Spain:
🛍️ Bazaar shops and neighbourhood shops: You’ll find simple, inexpensive trolleys in many bazaar shops. These are ideal if you’re looking for something very basic to tide you over. There are also homeware and kitchenware shops where you can find more durable and practical models.
🔩 Hardware shops: Yes, they don’t just sell screws and hammers. Many hardware shops offer sturdy, well-made trolleys. They tend to focus on quality products because they know their long-standing customers.
🛒 Large supermarkets and shopping centres: Some offer their own brands of trolleys, and sometimes even collaborate with well-known brands. This is a good option if you want to see it in person while doing your weekly shopping.
🌐 Online marketplaces: Here you can find everything from the simplest to high-end models. Just be careful with quality and reviews. Always read the opinions of other buyers.
🧵 Brand websites like Garmol.com! Here you’re on the safe side: you buy directly from the manufacturer, you know all the models available, you can see the details of each trolley, choose colours, compare options… and best of all: it arrives at your door in a few days without you having to leave your sofa!
2. Are you a touchy-feely person or a clicker?
Let’s see… There are two types of people in this world: those who prefer to touch, see and try everything before buying, and those who buy their trolley in two clicks and have it on its way home before finishing their morning coffee. Which one are you?
👀 Team ‘I need to see it with my own eyes’
You’re the type who needs to go to the shop, touch the fabric, check the wheels, look at the thermal bag. You like to see how it turns, open and close it. We understand you. In that case, look for your pram in physical shops, bazaars, hardware stores or large supermarkets.
📦 Team ‘I click and two days later it’s at home’
Why go out when you can get everything from your mobile phone? If you trust the photos and descriptions, and you can read reviews like Sherlock Holmes, then online shopping is for you. At Garmol.com, for example, you can see all our models, colours and features and order from the comfort of your own home.
Whatever your style, the important thing is to know what you need and where you can find it.
3. How to choose the perfect shopping trolley
Now you know where to buy a shopping trolley, here comes the next big question: which one should you choose? Because it’s not just a matter of colour (although a trolley with a bold pattern always brightens up your day). Here are some key points to consider before making your choice:
✅ Capacity: Do you do big or small shops? If you go to the market for just a few things, a compact trolley will suffice. But if you go out with provisions for the whole family, it’s better to choose a large capacity trolley with more than 80 litres, such as our Jumbo Fresc0*.
✅ Wheels: Do you climb a lot of stairs? Do you push it along uneven pavements? There are trolleys with 2, 4, 6 and even 8 wheels. Each has its advantages, and we explain them in detail in this post on types of chassis.
✅ Weight and folding: If you need to store it in a cupboard or take it with you in the car, look for foldable models. They can be stored in any corner and take up little space.
✅ Accessories and extras: Does it have a cooler bag to keep frozen items cold? Does it have interior pockets? Bag hooks? Check out our recommendations in this guide on how to choose the perfect trolley.
✅ Materials and durability: Not all trolleys last the same amount of time. Look for brands that manufacture with resistant materials. At Garmol, for example, we make them in Spain with resistant fabrics and reinforced wheels.
In summary
To sum up: you can buy a trolley at the supermarket, at a bazaar or online… But make sure it’s not just pretty, but practical too. Don’t let it end up like that lovely jumper you never wore because it was as itchy as if it were made of nettles.
And if you want to get it right without racking your brains, visit our online shop and discover why at Garmol we don’t sell trolleys, we sell companions for your shopping!
