Island Market is confusing. I tied my small dog, Josie, outside and came in last year. They told…read moreme to bring her in and were very nice to her. A year later, two days ago, I brought her in and the staff fussed over her. Today I came in with Josie and a guy behind the counter scowled at us. They had a dog sitting on the counter. The scowling guy said the dog did not like other animals. He also told me I couldn't bring her to the back, where they had been so nice to her the day before, and the coffee drinks and bagels were prepared. We went next door to buy my café mocha. So, Island Mart confuses me. They are either very dog friendly or not. Depends on the day of the week?

Service was good and snacks were even better. The next day we heard rumors of the sandwich shop in the back but I couldn't find many pictures of them in the reviews. Let's just say the sandwich was so good I couldn't even take a picture before I devoured the entire thing. I see why there aren't many pictures. So here's my wrapper. Make sure to check it out in the back of the store, they have delicious coffee and delicious sandwiches and they even come with a pickle !

Found the man in here working to be super friendly and not at all pushy or hovering over me. This would be a four star ABC store except that maybe 10 to 15 percent of their bottles didn't have prices on them. The counter is a long walk from the whiskey wall and aisles and who wants to keep walking back and forth to ask the man to do a price check? Easy solve...put prices on everything. They didnt have anything allocated here the day I stopped in, but that's nothing outside the norm.

Outside even has a little walk up drive through style window for refills.

We were greeted warmly and spoke with the attendant there for a bit. She was very nice. They carry basically everything you'd expect to find at a liquor store, including lots of ready made cans, minis, pints, 750s and handles. One nice find was they had quite a few flavored vodka and whiskey minis for only 99 cents. Prices are competitive, but as expected, they are a bit higher than Total Wine, Sam's Club, and Costco in Myrtle Beach. One nice thing is they charge the same price whether you pay cash or use a credit card. Check out their website as they do list free tastings there. Plenty of free parking out front. Note: this is one location in a small chain all owned by the same owner. They have locations in Longs, Myrtle Beach, Florence and a couple others too. I'd call first if you're hunting for a specific bourbon like Stagg, etc.

No beer here, but they do have pre-mixed ready to drink cans, etc. Prices are regulated by the state and they run the same sales that all the other NC ABC stores run. No public restroom. Open 9 am to 8:55 pm daily. Closed Sundays. Maybe 15 to 20 parking spots out front. Great store. I look forward to returning and buying more.

This store seriously needs to be investigated for its food handling and refrigeration practices…read more This is not one isolated bad product. The refrigerated cases are frequently out of order or not working properly, and I have repeatedly encountered food that appeared spoiled or improperly stored. I have found eggs that smelled strongly like rotten seafood being marked down to $0.99 and left for sale, yogurt that was rancid I bought for my 3 year old, and now a package of cream cheese that was completely mushy and surrounded by liquid and smelt sour despite being purchased only 15 minutes earlier. I have also gotten sick after eating rotisserie chicken from this location on two occasions. These are all from different visits by the way. I keep going as it's the closest grocery store to me but at this point, I no longer feel comfortable trusting refrigerated or prepared food from this store. What concerns me even more is that I am not the only local person who has noticed problems with food quality and refrigeration here. I have heard similar complaints from other people in the community. Food safety is not something a grocery store can afford to be careless about. Refrigeration failures, spoiled products remaining on shelves, and repeated concerns involving prepared foods deserve serious attention. I sincerely hope management, corporate, and the appropriate food safety authorities look into what is happening at this location before someone becomes seriously ill.
