“I recently visited LP Mart, and I have to say, it's the best convenience store in the area! From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by how clean, organized, and well-stocked the shelves were. Whether you're grabbing a snack, a drink, or picking up a few essentials, they've got you covered with an amazing selection of items. What really stood out was the customer service. The staff was friendly, approachable, and genuinely eager to help. They made my quick trip feel like a pleasant experience, and I could tell they really care about their customers. Plus, checkout was smooth and efficient, even during a busy rush. The store's hours are also incredibly convenient, making it a reliable stop no matter what time of day it is. If you're in need of something quick or just want a pleasant shopping experience, I highly recommend stopping by LP Mart. It's the perfect neighborhood convenience store!”
“This is my go to convenience store in Stouffville. Great convenience store with a wide selection of groceries, snacks, and other items you would be surprised to be able to get at a convenience store. The owners are very friendly and parking is easy. They also sell wine, beer and coolers at good prices. Support local entrepreneurs and drop by.”
“Little neighborhood convenient store. Friendly owner. Also selling beer and liquor now. Don't expect too much as its a small town style shop. Not much selection. Just good enough for the small day to day items.”

And while this IS a convenience store, their prices on staples like bread and milk are not far off grocery store prices!A wide variety of candy and snacks- including many authentic Korean snacks!”
