This place is about as local convenience store as you can get. When I lose my dog, they know who he is and always respond "No, I haven't seen him" (not their fault my dog is speedy). They have awesome cheap beer. They have nacho dip. They're selling my neighbor's band's tshirts (JJ Grimm). They have milk when I forget and am cooking something but don't feel like driving over to Dave's. They always open on time and salt their sidewalks. They smoke in there. I've seen the main guy over at the other convenience store on W. 25th in his off hours (he must love conveniencing!). They've waved quarters for me when I don't have change. They never complain when I buy a pack of gum on a credit card. I mean...I could ramble on and on! And on! And on!
I don't know what I would do without this place. They offer everything a good sturdy little convenience store should have but they're always pleasant and cool.
Cheers, Abbey Market! Cheers!
