The store, a local staple for years, has always been known for its wide variety of newspapers, magazines, and snacks, but with the new management, it feels like a whole new experience. First off, the service is top-notch. The new owner and staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready with a smile and willing to go the extra mile to help. Whether you’re popping in for a quick snack or need assistance with finding something specific, the staff is always happy to assist and ensure you leave satisfied. The store itself has been tidied up and organized in a way that makes it easier to navigate, which is a nice improvement. While it still holds that cozy, neighborhood convenience store vibe, everything feels a bit more streamlined and polished. It’s clear that the new owner values the local community and is dedicated to keeping Nutley News Stand a reliable go-to for all your daily needs. If you’re in the area, it’s definitely worth stopping by—not just for the great selection of products, but for the outstanding service that now defines this beloved spot.”
“Nice staff that seems more attentive than at most convenience stores. The shelves are always well stocked and there is hot take out food available. I wished that they stayed open past midnight, but that might have to do with a town restriction.”
“Conveniently located on my way to work. Store could be a little less cluttered. There's so many displays and so much merchandise the aisles are very narrow.”
“Sophie was very helpful and friendly. She helped my mom and me with a product in the aisle. She also rang us up at the register. She gave great customer service. We will always go to the Nutley store.”
