“I am writing about the Asian store opposite or next to hyvee here. They have a good amount of basics rice noodles, rice, indian lentils, mochi, rice paper, meat, sauce, veggies, fish cakes, nori sheets. The place is run by a Korean. The store smells of paint or varnish because there’s painting going on and renovation taking place. Shop keepers seem friendly. It’s growing and they stock up new things every so often with Asian kitchen items such as portable stove, ladles, teapots.”

“Imagine walking into a gas station and you're looking for some food. The words "gas station food does not sound super appealing, UNTIL, you see a gourmet sandwich. You become a little suspicious until look around and see even more amazing food. Of course it has your typical gas station staples, but there's more of a variety of high quality products! Attached is an amazing coffee shop called Burgies! This is definitely a place to stop when getting gas in Ames!”

I stock up in the candy isle I get gag gifts and weird decor in the seasonal aisle I get gift exchange items in the as seen on tv section I get birthday party items for kids by walking the store And, oh yeah, deodorant, floss, cleaning supplies, camping last minute things like wet wipes. All of those purchases where I am too lazy to zig zag back and forth at a bigger store, I can get here in a quarter of the time. My time matters. I can buy milk and snacks and beverages and bandaids. I can go in sick and not infest the world. These are all good things.”
