Idk what that was about, but I still will frequent this location when I choose to...

Great selection, great prices, and great people. They definitely know their stuff and pretty much have any and everything you could be looking for. They have all kinds of mixers, soft drinks, snacks, cigars, lottery tickets, and tobacco products as well. Also if they don't have what you are looking for they are willing to try to order it. They are the cheapest place in town as far as I...
