convenience stores

Quick errand destinations

Convenience stores are small retail shops that sell everyday items like snacks, beverages, tobacco, and basic groceries.

They typically stay open late or around the clock and charge higher prices than supermarkets in exchange for quick access and extended hours.

Gas stations often include them: I stopped at the convenience store for cigarettes and a energy drink.
