As seen on the pic below.

The things I bought
Yes I bought some items. Each weekend I go for shopping for the week and so on Sunday I visited the shop and bought omo, mineral water, bread, tooth paste
RATE THE SHOP BASED ON YOUR SHOPPING EXPERIENCE OR WHAT YOU ALREADY KNOW. YOUR RATING WILL BE BASED ON FACTORS LIKE LOCATION, PRICE OF GOODS, QUALITY OF GOODS, ETC. LET US KNOW WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THE SHOP
1. LOCATION
It is situated at the heart of the town and it's location makes it easier to find. The strategic locations of the business site is just along the main Street if the town hence easily accessible.
2. PRICE OF GOODS
The prices of all goods in the bakery shop are affordable even to a poor man. Recently there has been an increase in prices of goods all over the national territory but Top star has its customers at heart so do not impose high prices as per other shops
3. QUALITY OF GOODS
There exist other bakery shops in the town but interns of quality of products Top Star provides the best which makes the shop crowdy always with customers. One thing I buy almost every day it the bread. It is always fresh, affordable and the quality is outstanding than others.
4. SERVICES
The shop has good customer services which makes me go there always. The smile put on by the staff is charming and the attention given is also good
Looking at these aspects about the bakery shop I will advice everyone around Bamenda to come a d taste the wonders of TOP STAT HOTEL/BAKERY/SNACK BAR AND RESTAURANT.
CONCLUSION
There exist several businesses in Bamenda town offering different or the same services as Top Star hotel. Some of the are outstanding than Top Star or don't meet up to it. My preferences comes with the goods and services offered by the business centre and so I advice everyone to follow that in choosing a favourite business site to shop.

Que bien que este hotel cuente con todo está tiendas en un solo lugar, así no tendríamos que movernos de allí. Muy buenos precios de la panadería y se ve que tiene variedad.
Suerte en el concurso.

According to the name,Top Star Hotel has many other subsidiaries under it and all of them are doing very well on terms of business and sells, if I were there the most things I would like to taste are their bread, snacks and their food in their restaurant, but all the same you can taste those on my behalf,🤤 thanks for sharing.
You went to the supermarket and there were excellent reviews about the product and the presentation was very nice. You've made some purchases this week: omo, mineral water, bread, toothpaste.
Yes I did and it was nice getting the things I wanted with the money I had in hand. Thanks for visiting my post

Top star bakery is indeed a nice place reason why many people go there for shopping each day. Thanks for visiting my post
What caught my eye is the prices.
It seems that prices is a bit more expensive in South Africa.
Looks like I will have to leave my country once a month to do my grocery shopping (•ิ‿•ิ)
Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest!
And you can make those grocery trips to Cameroon. I will gladly welcome you and take you round to any super or shop you want. Thanks for visiting my post
Okay, I tell you what we will do. One month I go to Cameroon and the next month you will bring it all the way to South Africa for me.
Now this sounds like a great deal! (•ิ‿•ิ)
Too star bakery is easy to locate because of its closeness to the main road and streets. And they always have customers because there bread is number 1 one it comes for Quality. Always fresh and affordable. Woaooah I love that. Am coming to shop there tomorrow.
Checking the rules
Checking Post Quality
It is really sad what happened to the top star hotel some years back. However, that had never stopped the owner and management.
I love that you have done a good post reviewing it. It needs this kind of publicity..
Good luck in the contest
I was confused at first but when I saw that they had different department for theirs service it became more clearer, what a strategy to makes sales, an hotel, wow, this thing are done only in supermarkets whereby there are different sections as to what you want to purchase.
Greetings and blessings
My dear you don't have to be. It's a wide business strategy so as to enable customers have everything in one place especially those staying at the hotel. Thanks for visiting my post
Yeah along the line I understood the business strategy
