Thread: Hardware store?

Is there something like Home Depot in PC? If so where? Also is it normal not to find size 12 shoes and XL size shorts and polo shirts?

Hello
Discovery Center has 2 big ware houses in Panama City (In Tumba Muerto and in Calla cuarta (4^th street) between Rio Abajo and the city center on Via España. Maybe carrying most stuff in the Home Depot genre I believe.

Building materials are also sold in Cochéz (Is a lot of places in Panama City and now there is one in Coronado) Comása and HOPSA. (Also chains with several shops)

There are a lot of independent "Chinos" of various sizes that can have good stuff. For example I found a toilet with a built-in cistern. Which is a rear case in Panama.
Casa de materiales (Beside Discovery Center on Tumba Muerto) and various “Chinos” on Tumba Muerto further on the way towards the Airport before Autodepot.

I have found a lot of my XL shorts and shirts at El Costo, Champion, Saks and stores like that. "Farmers stores" like I call them, a little of everything for small prices.

For shoes I don’t know for sure. Maybe some of the shoe stores in Los Andes or Los Pueblos have got some left over big size shoe sizes.

Hope some of this helps.

Is Discover Center bigger and better than Novey and Do It?

The Discover center in "Tumba Muerto" is really big and it has great item selection, but I would compare it more to a Walmart than to a Home Depot.

Hello
Discovery center are bigger shops than Novey and Do it Center, but fewer in numbers.
Just the two in Panama City I Believe.
One on Tumba Muerto and on Via España (at Calla cuarta - 4^thstreet).
The Tumba Muerto department is the bigger one.

They are right beside the street. Buildings with Discovery Center written on them.

Thank you, I found the Do It Center today. No store had my size shoes I wanted nor shirts. I feel like Gulliver in Lilliput.
