They say that we should strive for quality in both how we work and how we live. In our Bratislava store, we aim for this every single day, and we are beyond thrilled when professionals take notice. We are proud to announce that our R1 Centrum Bratislava store has become the winner of the prestigious Visa Slovak Top Shop award for March 2026.
What did the inspectors notice?
The Visa Slovak Top Shop competition operates on the principle of mystery shoppers who evaluate the shopping experience in stores across Slovakia. In our store, they particularly praised the atmosphere and the approach that is core to the Berndorf Sandrik brand:
"This store demonstrates that choosing items for the kitchen and dining table can be a truly pleasant experience. In a peaceful atmosphere, free from crowds and with helpful expert advice, customers can examine the assortment up close..." – stated the official jury evaluation.
What specifically stood out?
- Tradition and Trust: Our cutlery is the heart of our collection. The inspectors highlighted the combination of quality and the practical option to purchase individual pieces—the perfect solution for those "mysteriously disappearing" teaspoons in every household.
- Space and Design: Within an area of approximately 300 m², we have created a well-organized world of cooking and dining, where pots, pans, and porcelain form one natural, harmonious whole.
- Personal Approach: In the age of online shopping, we believe that the opportunity to receive expert advice and physically hold a product in your hands is irreplaceable.
More than just a store
For us, this award is not just a medal on the wall. It is a confirmation that our direction—focusing on attention to detail and top-tier customer service—is the right one. High-quality cutlery, after all, starts with the experience of choosing it.
