Great place with a very helpful and friendly staff. The range of craft beers is astounding. I love my sours, and there is always something nee here. The hours are also optimal with Central being open much later than other establishments.

I'm not sure how I've neglected to embellish my blank 5-star review for so long. Since I'm sure the algorithm will weigh a review filled with text more heavily, I feel it needed to be updated.
The Central Store is massive for a convenience store, which allows them to stock a wide selection of snacks: chips, candy, pretzels, pastries, jerky, nuts, etc. They also offer a rotating variety of freshly cooked, hot foods: pizza, chicken, taquitos and other options to grab and go. They even have a f'real shake machine that I haven't seen anywhere else.
The Central Store houses a large cooler section and additional coolers scattered around the perimeter to keep their assortment of drinks and some grocery staples cold. If you're after a hot beverage they have a coffee/cappuccino station. They offer water, soda/pop, juice, energy drinks, tea, beer, hard cider, a vast selection of craft beer and other more obscure alcoholic drinks. Their hard-alcohol selection is also massive and continues to grow. Just like with their beer selection they offer harder to find, high quality options but they also offer higher quality, lesser known brands that don't break the bank. You can find better tasting alternatives to the heavily marketed, expensive bottles that aren't sold elsewhere. Their alcohol selection is truly hard to beat and rivals some dedicated liquor stores.
The fact that they try to keep milk, bread and eggs in stock has saved me on multiple occasions. There aren't any other options downtown to find fresh grocery items. They also carry frozen pizzas, lunch meat, canned foods, toiletries, batteries and other household essentials. There's also a good selection of Asian grocery/noodles/snacks/drinks you wouldn't typically find outside of a specialty store. Fortunately, even though they stock a wide array of items they seem to rotate stock frequently. I haven't run into anything expired sitting on their shelves.
There's also a cooler filled with sandwiches, microwaveable hamburgers, lunchables, yogurt and other ready to eat items near the checkout. Of course they also sell tobacco, cigarettes, lotto / scratch-off tickets like every other convenience store. Their prices are affordable, the store is clean and they have everything necessary to get by in a pinch. The owner is great, I've been shopping here for years without any issues.
I'm just waiting for the return of deliveries, possibly by drone. They also don't sell gas.

The owner, Chris, is a real bourbon connoisseur, and they have a great selection of hard to find, rare, and unique whiskies. I'm not quite sure about the rest of the store because I never made it beyond the spirit shelves! It was such a treat to find this place in Moline, and to talk with someone who has a true passion for whiskey. Make sure to stop by his bar two doors down called Central Craft where they have plenty of those same spirits to try, and several craft beers on tap.
