This place is not as bad as another made it out to be. It's very... "rural"…read more Parking: there is limited parking in front of the variety store, with some additional parking in the back. Watch for oncoming traffic in all directions when pulling in and out of the parking lot. Merchandise: fairly appropriate selection of goods (given the location). They do sell beer and wine. Singles are only available in the tall boy cans; you aren't permitted to break up a 6-pack. Wine is definitely 2-buck-chuck, so don't be expecting anything fancy. Prices are a dollar or two higher than most other convenience stores. Also sells lottery tickets, cigarettes, and a smattering of different snacks. Live bait available in the front cooler. Keno played here. Service: we usually have no issue at all with service; we're never given a hard time, even when paying with a credit card. Perhaps they do have a minimum, but we always buy a handful of things. Yesterday, we were helped by a cashier who seemed to have issues ringing stuff up, so it took a little longer than usual. Semi-decent place to stop on your way to the Swift River for booze. Make sure you bring a bottle opener/wine corkscrew in case you need it.

Very friendly staff, always willing to help and chat. Great selection, and very clean store.read more

All in one stop! Irving Station (aka L.E. Belcher Irving Station) has gas, ice, drinks,…read moreshelf-stable foods, snacks, pet food, frozen food, beer, wine, cigarettes, lottery tickets, and a Dunkin Donuts to boot (with a drive through). This is our primary go-to for adult beverages, as it's on the way home from work, and a quick in and out. It's obviously much more limited than a traditional package store, but makes up for it in convenience. Limited parking spaces out front, plus there's usually an off-duty ambulance parked in the handicapped space. Entrance to parking lot/gas pumps from Tapley/Bay St. is super bumpy. Cops are usually parked two at a time on site. The Dunkin' Donuts here is the second worst in the area (worst goes to the Irving Station off of Roosevelt and Bay St.) Their coolattas/frozen coffees are NEVER frozen and always only slightly slushy. Donuts are stale, too. Weird drive-thru set up, only accessible from the side of the building closest to St. James Ave. Other than some minor issues (like those mentioned above), this is a quick and easy stop for almost anything you need or forgot about... including, apparently, the Valentine's Day flowers I received. LOL.

Cousins has everything, from fresh fruit, to an array of canned foods, to pipe screens and sketchy malt liquors. A bit out of character for Amherst, but when you need a store that has all thirty-some varieties of Arizona tallboy cans, it's the place to go. Props for having such a well-decorated alley, too. Only problem is that it closes at ten: a shame, because it's better than DBmart in all regards but hours. It seems to be far less popular, though, probably because it's a bit tucked away and not as convenient to UMass students as its competitor.

The owner told me before no returns just exchanges. I went bak within 12 hrs of buying it and his lovely wife decided that a $8 charger they sold to me incorrectly couldn't be returned or exchanged.

Needless to say over $8 I won't shop here anymore U cant be shitty and expect loyal customers I use to go out of my way to shop here, cigarettes, alcohol, soda, snacks now to support local businesses now I wont which is unfortunate.

Pretty damn astonishing: I have no idea how they keep their prices for organic-friendly food as low…read moreas they do, but it's not that they're better than the other organic outlets in the area, they beat a lot of supermarkets on price! Not a lot by way of perishables, but even so ... and there are some bargains spectacular beyond normal. (How about GALLON sized cans of organic tomato and basil pasta sauce for ... wait for it ... $1.99? I'd pay at least twice that for a PINT of name brand sauce at a supermarket!) They've got a surprisingly wide selection for the size of the place, so you just might find yourself splitting your grocery budget between here and a market with perishables, and you'll save doing so.

They had just finished cleaning as we pulled in, the bathroom was tidy. They have quite an assortment of snacks and goodies to choose from! I even was able to find an apple! There wasn't a minimum charge for purchasing a snack, which was nice. We were trying to make sure that we were headed up north in the right direction and the staff were very friendly and accommodating.
