When I first moved to Yerevan almost nine years ago, shopping was not the easiest thing to do. From clothing/shoes to groceries, I always felt like I was missing something from back home. Armenia has come a long way since then. Dozens of franchises have sprung up across the city and just yesterday Aldo Shoes opened up it’s (very large) doors on Abovian Street. Shoe shopping just became a lot easier. Now if they would just hurry up and open a Trader Joes!
