Populi XL is the chain’s largest store format, offering an extended food, fresh and household assortment in a western-style supermarket layout. The flagship Vekua Street location has long been described as one of central Tbilisi’s most complete supermarkets.
The XL format complements the smaller Populi Neighbourhood stores, giving the chain a multi-format reach that ranges from quick local shops to full weekly-shop destinations.
What's good
- Extended assortment across food and household categories
- Western-style large-format shopping experience
Trade-offs
- Fewer locations than the neighbourhood format
- Larger stores may be less convenient for quick trips
