I am a regular because I live very close..If I want fresh veggies and meat, I go kurkmans , but if I want to get something like soda or water, or milk, I go here..If you like a certain brand or flavor, they will order it for a regular..if I want to play keno now n then, I go there...If no one's around, I chitchat with owner or clerk..once in while, there can be a bad smell, but that's rare. It's more like bug spray I think. Of course they cost more, they are a small convenience store.i don't want to go supermarket for one soda, besides you can't buy just one can there.. I wish they opened past 9 tho.
