Interesting place; a combination of a Persian Carpet gallery and a Silk Road travel agency.
They'll show you carpets while you negotiate your travel to Turkmenistan.
Carpets, old and new.
Tickets and package deals to the travel destinations along the old Silk Road.

 Vollywood, door to the left! by Saagar
There are some items on the shelves that perhaps could be of interest to travellers looking for a good and original souvenir - as the items go new come in so it is impossoble to tell exactly what there is. Go hae a look!
Maritime stuff; ship's kerosene lamps, candle holders, ship furniture, shelves, nevigator's kits etc.
Varies with age, quality and collectability. For non-collectibles not so much.

 Bunnpris shop by Saagar
Yet they are open until 22:00, 20 on Saturdays. Closed Sundays.
Here you can stock up on groceries for your boat travel, road trip further down the coast or late evening beach picnic a warm summer night.
Beats Kiwi grocery store at Vettre with one hour during the working week, and is less "chain-storey".
Bunnpris carries some of the bakery goods from Vollen bakery. Otherwise it's just a small grocery with a comprehensive selection and a bit claustrophobic feel to it.
Chain store prices, among the best, in fact. Leave a Comment Theme: Food and Drink

A Turkish/Kurdish fruit and vegetable shop with ethnic bakery goods, dairy products, coffee, treas, spices, oils and nuts. Nobody does this better than Anatolia in Asker. Your green groceries done here will save you money and health! ;-)).
Open Mon-Fri 10-21, Sat 10-18.
Fresh veggies and fruits, Mediterranean condiments.
Beats any "cheap" chain supermarket here. Leave a Comment Theme: Food and DrinkAddress: Knut Askers vei 5Phone: 66762330Directions: Under Asker Pels

A local Asker sewing shop that is open upon appointment. Bunad works is veryt standard, so you really have to find out what you want in discussion with Astrid before you can expect to decide and order. These things are not laying around on shelves waiting to be bought, but is made by order.
Ouch, this is very expensive! But consider all the hours of labour that goes into it. Leave a Comment

In Asker's neigbouring town, Sandvika you will find Bull Ski & Kajakk. The shop has a very good selection of outdoor equipment and in particular cross-country skiing and sea, canoe and kayak sports. It is a focussed shop with specialists helping you, not the regular run-of-the-mill a little-of-everything shop.
Good quality/selection of tents, hiking boots, skis, kayaks and accessories. A good place to start your outdoor expedition here in Norway.
Costly, as all Norwegian sports shops, but you get quality. Among all sports shop Bull is not known to be particularily expensive.

Byggmakker is a chain of stores with individual shops that vary widely in quality and service levels. They are one of Norway's several DIY chains. Generally useful if you come here to settle for shorter or longer time, and the price level is quite good.
After repeated uses and attempts at using the Asker branch store Byggmakker Sem Bruk AS at Semsveien up past the town centre and near Semsvannet lake, I can no longer recommend this store. Their service levels is abysmal and response time veeery long and rather negative. They refuse to show you goods that they offer for sale through catalogues or advertisements. You can only decide if you like the thing after you have bought it, put it together and then see what it looks like. There are also several things that they put on offer but actually do not have and just try to bait you to come visit their shop. Better go to Maxbo in Asker or some other Byggmakker store elsewhere.

Elite Foto in Asker (Trekanten and Holmen senteret) is a branch of a photo shop chain with the same name. They occasionally have very good offers, especially on development.
Everything rtelated to photography. However, the stores are small and will not have a full range of services and goods, so expect things to be ordered for you. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Holmensenteret and Trekanten.Directions: Holmen Shiopping Mall at the Holmen E18 intersection, or Trekanten mall in Asker downtown.

A small, but excellent sea food shop near Sandvika Railway station. A super place to sample fish cakes/burgers, otherwise, I do not expect this to be an intensely interesting place for tourists...
The daily supply of fish varies; but I noticed the quality is excellent. These guys know how to handle sea food.
Crayfish, lobster, crabs, shellfish, mussels, salt water fish, trout, salmon etc.
Processed fish, salted, dried, ground.
Very good fish burgers/cakes. A lunch in itself, two of these!
Some top notch type fish - various flounders, halibut, wild salmon etc.
The best value for money is the redfish "uer". Very similar to tropical red snapper both in looks and taste. Spiny and scaly, so squemish Norwegians do not buy it too often. However, it is a very cheap and tasty fish. Bake it whole in the oven with onions, peppers, veggies; and spice it up.
More expensive, but a taste of the Arctic is the Steinbit - wolf fish. Extremely versatile in the pan, extremely tasty. Leave a Comment Theme: Food and DrinkAddress: Willy Greiners vei 2, 1377 SandvikaPhone: 67548470Directions: Close to Nagina's Restaurant and the Sandvika Railway Station. Open weekdays 10-17, until 15 Saturdays.

Funny name for the place, but never mind - it's always in the mind...
This is an outlet for the artsy folks of Vollen and Blakstad artists who produce, exhibit and sell through this gallery. Lots of nice stuff, and they hold seasonal exhibitions (paintings, other visual arts).
Anything that fancies you and catches your imagination. Leave a Comment Theme: ArtAddress: Blakstad Hospital grounds, Blakstad, AskerDirections: Galleri Pink is located on the Blakstad Hospital grounds, enter from Slemmestad Road at the sign "Blakstad Sykehus", signposted.
