It is not the average Sri Lankan self-service grocery store but is independently owned and operated. Every year, Nishan, the owner, makes a trip to Europe to purchase the specialty items that other supermarkets in Sri Lanka don’t even know about, and never stock. He imports the best items from Germany, especially at Christmas time, and sources other imported delicacies from Sri Lankan suppliers. He supports local initiative, giving space on the Nebula Supermarket shelves to local makers of limited-production items, so shoppers at Nebula have the opportunity to try the best local products unavailable elsewhere. Prices are kept deliberately low at Nebula Supermarket, without the customary high mark up of corporate establishments, to benefit consumers and to help local suppliers with increased sales. Nebula offers discounts on high bills and bulk purchases, and will obtain goods on demand whether locally or from overseas, if they are not in stock. The spacious and friendly supermarket stocks everything but is famous all over Sri Lanka for stocking European products that are difficult to find elsewhere on the island, such as German pate, Dutch mayonnaise, Collmans mustard from the UK and countless other things you may miss on your stay in Sri Lanka.
