In one of the round-a-bouts at China Cluster, close to Dragon Mart, there are two mini-marts named "Phoenix". There are also small mini-marts inside Dragon Mart.

There are several small streamers and sign boards showing mini shops' future opening in the different China Clusters.

At the back road close to the Al-Warsan IC man-made lake, I saw an area with some eatery/fast-food.

Across the Emirates Rd., the vegetable area site contains the Union Coop Supermart, Laundry, ATM & Bank branches, a small fish market, car workshops, car spare parts shop, pharmacy, money changer, travel agent, post office, etc. sporadically spread around.

From International City moving along Emirates towards Sharjah, the next exit to Mirdif or Warqa will take you to Uptown Mirdif complex where Spinney's Supermart, gym, furniture shop, starbucks, gold shops, shoe shops, pharmacy, ATM, several fast food (i.e. KFC, McDonald, Burger King, Pizza Hut, Hardees, etc.).

Vegetable Market is just opposite to IC (across the road (Emirates Road)).

Great posts...

Anyone knows of any laundry services within IC? The ones who irons for AED1 per shirt (like in Dubai).

Also, there is a grocery store near China D4 if anyone is interested.

The Fruits and Vegetable market is about 10 minutes from the exit near Persia (Manama Street) Instead of taking Emirates road exits, keep going straight on Manama Street so you "fly over" Emirates Road and take a right to go to Union Co-op or Vegetable market. Went there today. Union Co-op has nice Lebanese/ Irani style food and even biryani at their rotisserie. Also saw Baskin Robbins in Union Co-Op.

As adviced by Glen, the grocery store is in D4 opposite the textile city sheds, near morroco. Also opening is an Italian Pizza and Pasta shop in D4.

No Laundry yet, but judging by demand I may open one lol!
