Ben's Penny Mart is a great convenience store with better wares than your average 7/11. They have a…read moresmall selection of Japanese snacks (a nod to big brother Ben's Tune-Up next door), and a good number of local beers, which are available for individual purchase. They also now have TVs, which makes the Penny Mart a nice quiet location to catch a game. They have recently added Foothills Meats, as the other reviewer noted, which really completes the experience for me--people-watching at their streetside bar while enjoying a meaty sandwich is a fantastic way to spend an afternoon.

I've had the sh*t on a shingle special too, good old fashioned comfort food. If you're downtown near the south slope and want a quick bite, it's definitely worth checking out. There is a small bar for eating, but it's better for take out.

For the past 12 years we've provided those living and working in downtown with the convenience items they need to get through the day without having to travel far.

By sheer accident of fate, I ended up going to two Hot Spots in as many days. While there are many…read moresurface similarities between this Hot Spot and the Ashland one, there are also glaring differences. Both smell of Pinesol and stale hot dogs. Both have rather primitive gas pumps. This one, however, does not boast an epic twitter feed and a wall-to-wall line of hookers trying to buy 5 hour energy drinks with credit cards. So it's somewhat less interesting than its Ashland cousin. On the other hand, it is selling a full line of Oscar Blues beer, including Old Chub, at 8.69 a six pack. Which is 2 dollars cheaper than anywhere else in town. It also sells non-ethanol gasoline, which is kind of a big deal to me on a philosophical level. If extremely competitive Old Chub and non-ethanol gas are a big deal to you, too, you're going to enjoy this gas station quite a bit. If not, stick to the Eblin--it's way more pleasant.

Not everyone would think to go to a grocery store for a sandwich but I'm glad I did. They have a…read moredaily special where you can purchase a full sub for only $8 and change so of course that's what I got. I wanted wheat bread but they were out so I went with the regular white. No biggie. With that I got a tuna sub with lettuce, tomato, onion, peppers and salt and pepper. Delicious and the sandwich was HUGE. MUCH better than Subway. I have to point out; when I get a sandwich I usually get green peppers but they had mixed colors for their peppers. I made a comment of how I only get the green ones but that the mixed is fine; the guy grabs a handful and this sweet man picks out just the green peppers for my sandwich. He didn't have to do that and I was so very thankful. Huge plus for just that. Shows he actually cares and I love that! Wish I got his name. But sir, if you see this, THANK YOU!! You made my day with that small gesture. I walked around the store and stumbled upon the Snyders pretzel pieces and they were on sale 2/$5. I hadn't had those in forever so of course I bought two bags. The sour cream and caramelized onion flavor.....SO GOOD!!!!!! Will 100% go back if I'm ever in the area. I need to try more subs!

The staff are friendly and helpful. I always feel welcome there and I'm a regular customer!read more

Montford Convenience is referred to as "The Corner Store" by my friends and I. It's perfectly…read moresituated in the heart of Montford and is your one stop shop for many of the needs that may plague a young socialite. Impending snow storm coming and you need beer? Get it son. Overcome with a desire for a dime piece of Laffy Taffy? Get it son. Ran out of Texas Pete during a grill out? Get it son. Really want a Coca Cola? DO NOT GET IT SON! Seriously, there's no coke products here. You can have as much Pepsi or RC Cola as you want, but due to an altercation with a Coke representative Montford Convenience doesn't sully their cooler cases with the "The Real Thing". Blah. This is NC, birthplace of Pepsi, and if that's a problem for you then perhaps you and Montford Convenience were never meant to be friends.

This will be the last bastion of what the south slope once was…read more When the luxury loft apartments take over the warehouses and vacant spaces that line Short Coxe, Biltmore Groceries will stand as a testament to what the South Slope was like before it became a brewery hot spot. This place makes me feel like a kid. It's the exact kind of convenience store I remember going to on long road trips with my parents. Fluorescent lights, linoleum tile, big league chew, and an aroma cigarette smoke, faint.. but ever present, engrained into the very structure of the building. The gas pumps are mainly just for show. This may also be one of the only convenience stores that doesn't carry an ultra selection of high abv local craft brews in 22 oz bottles. They have a couple of six packs for Highland, but it would seem as though the beer distributors haven't found or tend to avoid this spot. One truly unique item they carry here is Budweiser in 8oz cans. Also available are a wide array of gold chains and medallions, gilligan hats with phrases such as "Keep it 100" and "YOLO", and a surprisingly large selection of incense. The owners are highly pleasant people. A wonderful couple. Very sweet, excited to have you in their store. I won't be heading here for supplies before a party or anything... but I will come here for a healthy dose of Southern nostalgia.
