This is almost another one of those secrets I'm tempted to keep, but Yelp has helped me countless times, so I'll share my experience. Besides being able to wash my clothes cheaply and dry them for free at the laundromat next door, my fiancé and I found some great, hard to find items at this convenience store. Before the pandemic, I always used to just buy hand sanitizer as needed. Never really stocked up on it, unless I was shopping at Bath and Body Works during a sale or something. I still don't really stock up or hoard essentials, as I feel that would just be adding to the problem of shortages. However, I was about to run out of sanitizer (one that was homemade, mind you), so of course, I jumped at the chance to buy some conveniently. As my fiancé and I were about to check out with our drinks we got, he noticed they were selling masks and hand sanitizer. I haven't seen those items anywhere in brick-and-mortar stores, only online, since the pandemic hit. So, even though they were not exactly cheap, I got a pack of masks and bottle of sanitizer. I thought it was definitely worth it, especially since Costco, Uber, and a bunch of other businesses have made masks a requirement... The store had other cool items I didn't expect to find either, like big bags of local made tamales in the freezer section, tons of Hispanic music on CDs, and a very diverse selection of snacks. I would definitely recommend this store whether you're just stopping thru the area and need refreshment or if you're waiting on your laundry next door.
