Handelstraat (Moroccan)
Brederodestraat (Turkish)
Provinciestraat (Mixed)
Most of these shops are also open on Sundays.

Winter sales run from 3 to 31 January. Summer sales run from 1 to 31 July.
Shopping Sunday
Shops are usually closed on Sundays, but every first Sunday of the month is Shopping Sunday. Many shops in the city centre are open that day.
Budget shopping
In the shopping quarter near the Central Station (Gemeentestraat, Carnotstraat, Dambruggestraat, Offerandestraat), you will find pedestrian streets with many low-priced shops, such as Zeeman and Wibra. Zeeman also has a store in Nationalestraat. They sell (thermal) underwear and linen at very reasonable prices.
