Has your basic Quickie-Mart items then some like fresh meats and gas station par deli sandwiches. Prices are high because its what you expect for the convenience store plus Boca Grande pricing they can't control just due to the cost of operating here. Been a customer about 10 times as I work for a service business and as I find myself desperate on Boca. A t-bone will cost 25-50% more what it is off the island, the gas station 8" subs are ZERO TOPPINGS (no lettuice/onion/mayo/mustard basics) because theoretically they will have a longer shelf life, and cost 6-8$ for basic ham/cheese or just two slices of turkey.

I was attacked and almost physically stopped by a woman for no facial coverings due to medical reasons that prevent me from wearing it ! I was even nice and told them my medical condition and it basically became a laughing matter . Everyone was absolutely horrible except the manager who let me shop and just asked me to keep my distance and the one woman at the register who checked me out. I would not reccomend going to this place at all. Everyone there wasn't wearing their masks properly in the first place while attacking me for not wearing one and the man behind the food counter took his off and I guess that was okay....
