Went in to buy a quick beer after a really hard and long day. It was 9:59. He stopped me from behind the counter and asks me how I’m going to pay. I said cash and he said oh I already closed the register. I said well I can use card. He just looked at me stupid. So I asked him if he was going to ask me to leave and he said yes. I told him I wouldn’t be coming back to this store and left. Someone pulled up outside and I told them he would just turn the away when they walked in because he’s too lazy to lock the door. So he decided to follow he out in the parking lot talking crap. Only stopped when I asked him if he wanted me to record it and post it to my Facebook friends. I’ll be taking my business a few blocks down to discount smokes and liquor. A little further of a drive, but they don’t turn you away during posted hours. They lock the door and close drawers. Not stay open for then cameras but turn business away.
Reviews
This place is under newer ownership. I had the pleasure of meeting Jay (the owner) today. He is in the process of really turning the store around! He was super helpful and so nice. I also have to say for a little store they had an amazing bourbon selection. Your regular releases by Turkey, beam and Heaven hill, yellowstone to name a few. Some bottles that you really don’t see everywhere but are not allocated like Weller. He even had Knob creek 18, Woodford batch proof, blood oath, 13th colonies cask strength….. oh and how could I forget the Thomas H Handy and Pappy 12 that he also showed me!!!! All of the allocations (except for the Handy, and pappy) were out on a nice end cap so that regular people like me can have the opportunity to purchase some desirable bottles. He’s not in the business to hold desirable bottles, so if you have repeated drove past this place you should really stop in. You won’t regret it!
MUCH nicer then it used to be. Very clean and easy to find what you need!
What can I say about a discount liquor and smoke place that wouldn't have already been covered? They're friendly, soda is priced well as is juice, and they sell fidget spinners! Really it's one stop shopping for all of your beverage, smoking, and fidgeting needs.
If you say open at 7:00 be open. So frustrating. I past 5 other stores to stop here and closed. My time is valuable.
