| - This brand new convenience store opened last Wednesday. I just noticed it was open tonight and decided to stop by and snatch the FTR. The store is a little strange looking right now. It kind of reminded me of a small Asian store. The areas are sparse, there are no decorations, and obviously they have a lot more stuff they plan on installing. For example, the guy told me they will be adding slot machines and a hard liquor cabinet.
For now, they stock the basic things you expect to find at a 7 Eleven type of store - snacks, drinks (alcoholic and not), cigarettes, and a slush machine of some sort. One wall has a rather large and impressive looking wine rack, though I didn't peruse their selection.
It turned out to be a pretty fruitful visit as I walked away with a cheap pair of leather-palm gloves that I'll be taking with me to Yosemite in a few days (gonna need that hand protection for the Half Dome cables). I also picked up a Clif Bar and a PowerBar (I'll probably need more, but I haven't planned that fully yet).
For me, this place is the true meaning of convenience store, being a mere 3-minute walk from my house.
