Ive been going to City Store for over 7 years and Ive finally had enough. The owner price gouges and the owners (adult) son is a liar AND a thief. The son stole my money with lies and deception and then lied in his Fathers face when questioned about it. I had asked his Mother for a discount on a piece of glassware. She gave me less than a dollar off and I bought it. It was fun and its my legal right and responsibility as an American consumer to ask for a discount especially if the margins are huge or the seller is gouging and if she had not given me a discount I wouldnt have bought it. Simple as that. We made a mutually beneficial deal. The son didnt seem pleased. It is my belief he got the difference back from me the very next time I came in. He didnt charge that .86 cents to my card because he couldnt...legally. He wrote it on a slip behind the counter as if I had asked for and received some sort of credit or charity. I had more than enough in my account to purchase a pack of cigarettes, loaf of white bread and a quart of milk. Nothing fancy. He said I was short. I was confused. Why didnt he just charge any difference to my card? Me being me I promptly brought it to them within hours without question as I live across the street. It was only later I began to question the transaction. I checked my EBT account later because something just didnt feel right. I had paid $4.97 for one quart of Meadow Gold milk and a loaf of the plainest, whitest, white bread made by Albertsons called "Sandwich White. I checked my bank account, fully charged for one pack of smokes at $6 with plenty of dollars to last the rest of the month. Why did he have me bring money back to him like that? Cash...or change as it were? Weird. The question remains unanswered... If I fully paid for the food via EBT and fully paid for smokes with my bankcard, why did I have to bring him more money and why didnt he just charge it to my card? Maybe he couldnt reconcile a charge for $6.86 which would have been an illegal credit transaction? My proof is in the form of fully paid transaction receipts both from EBT and Chase. My concerns were met with anger and hostility by the owner. They lose my business over an attempted theft of .86 cents. They lose my 3-4 packs of smokes business a week. Thats $18-$24 week, $72-$96 a month, $864-$1152 a year. Multiply that times 7+ years. (I really need to stop smoking) :( That doesnt take into account the amount I spent annually for food. They lost thousands of dollars over an .86 attempted theft. Thats just me, one customer. I know of at least 3 others, residents and a business owner that absolutely will not shop there because of the owner and the business principles, practices and the way they treat their customers. Smokers talk and are regular shoppers at the convenience store closest to them. I suppose theyre doing well enough they can afford to alienate the public closest to them, their neighbors. It seems expensive, foolish and just plain bad business to me. Im just another guy who refuses to give anymore money to them...EVER again. Be smart and choose to whom you give your money. There is nothing wrong with choosing to give your money to nice, friendly people who provide fair trade and good customer service.

The tl;dr: they were randomly closed in the middle of the day, didnt sell non-sweet drinks other than water, and the box of Triscuits I bought had a "best when used by" date of 2 months ago. When I first arrived, there was a cardboard sign on the door saying "back in 3 minutes" with the 3 weirdly scribbled out. I shouldve taken that as a sign and kept looking for a different store, but it was raining so I just waited. Once the guy let us in (another woman was also waiting by that time) I went straight for the beverage coolers. I was craving unsweetened iced tea or kombucha but they had neither. They did have some diet sodas but all very sweet stuff, so I just got water. I also got a box of Triscuits. When I opened the Triscuits, they smelled a little stale. It turns out the "best when used by" date was two months ago. Is that even legal? I also noticed after buying and opening the box that there is a layer of dirt/grime on the bottom. I give them two stars instead of one because the prices were slightly less ridiculous than typical convenience store prices, and because they have a pretty good selection of ramen and other ready-to-eat meals. Im guessing they provide a useful service for local homeless/down on their luck people (they accept EBT), but this is not my kind of store.

Omg I just stopped by in this wonderful market and the pricing is so so affordable and everything about this store is just great and satisfying! This store is so clean and very creative. This store is very unique. The employees are friendly and great service too. There is so many great choices to buy like snacks, TONS OF DRINKS, soups, awesome frozen foods, candy, and much much more. I have never seen a store where it has over 100 choices of candys; this store rocked it. I would definitely come back for more.

The owner of this new independent corner store and who i assume is his wife are great. Very friendly people. The prices are slightly lower than the prices at most downtown indep. corner stores. Good selection of snacks too. After the remodeling I was hoping for more grocery items . It has oly been a month and maybe contracts with suppliers are still underway. I walk and dont know anything about parking there.

I used to stop at this store every other day. Then, one day I came in with a fifty dollar bill. The owner rudely refused to take my money b/c he said he didnt have change, but that must have been a lie. Expensive, not friendly, bad customer service especially since I used to be their best customer. Will now walk block out of the way so I dont have to go here because they hurt my feelings so bad.

the owner charged me twice for a $2 item. when i asked for the receipt he only gave me the summary one so i couldnt show him when i realised. the other workers are nice.
