Probably for the best though, have you ever smelled cauliflower after a couple of days sitting around? I don't usually visit GNC stores, but lately I've been popping in to see if I can find extra protein or different vegan protein tubs than I can get online. I have yet to find a GNC selling my protein or anything close to it cheaper than the internet, but what I do find is that some grocery stores have it super cheap. This location did have my main protein which was impressive, and they were friendly enough, but prices are still a little high as they usually are in GNC, so I couldn't actually stock up on it.

New business in the regrettable "Mansion Square" development that just opened in 3/12 at the…read moreintersection of Balltown Rd. and State, across from Mohawk Commons, this is a standard-issue Vitamin Shoppe, with a large array of supplements and vitamins ranging from the essential to borderline patent-medicine quackery. The prices for the few things we've purchased here aren't overly competitive but it's convenient for children's supplements, this being the only place in the area we've been able to find competing brands of child-specific formulations prescribed by our pediatrician. The staff were helpful and relatively knowledgeable about stock, but this is yet another franchise desperate to get you on their mailing list via discount cards and coupons, and I continue to resent having to go through the routine of declining this on every visit. My general advice when visiting such a place, to avoid being up-sold or purchasing something you're not really clear about, is to research what you want BEFORE going in so you're making your selection based on your own needs and what science you can bring to muster on the topic, and not the bag of retail store tricks (to which we are all vulnerable no matter how well-informed).

I get either the house brand protein powder or Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey. Both go on sale twice a year for buy one, get one half off. Other times you can save 20% off. So I rarely pay full retail. I always go into the store, but you can buy online. If you auto ship, you save 10%. Because of Covid, they also have have contact free curbside pickup. The stores website is easy to use and up to date on the available inventory. The associates are very friendly and helpful. They seem quite knowledgeable. The store is well organized and stocked. It appears to have something for everyone. There's more than enough parking, and they're accessible from Mansion Blvd. or Balltown Rd. I went into GNC once, but they don't carry the brands I use. I recommend you try Vitamin Shoppe for your needs.

For a convenience store, this place has quite a lot going for it. For one, the people there are…read morefriendly and have personality. Convenience is definitely present, as they are open early and late (till midnight). The coffee is usually very fresh, and is surprisingly good. The regular coffee in the Bunn pot is the only one I have tried, as I do not care for flavored coffees. The beans are good, the roast is good, and I have made it almost a daily ritual to get it. Emergency provisions such as eggs, bacon, gallons of milk, chocolate chips, flour, sugar, butter, etc. are available. Cat and Dog food, Motor oil of course, a wide assortment of chips, candy, some hot food, sandwiches and pastries are available. The local papers are almost always well stocked. What makes an enjoyable experience here is the fact that the people working there are just really nice people. Some different employees come and go, but they never hire nasty or surly folks. So the vetting process for being hired must be pretty good. Kudos to the management (and the staff!)

At least in terms of comparison with my earlier shopping, the word here is "slightly" ... slightly smaller store, slightly better prices on groceries, slightly more cluttered, slightly more stickers glued to the floor (why???). It's still a reasonable store to visit for a quick shopping trip for basics, if you aren't worried about a few cents per item difference, or as much variety as in a larger store.

When I first stepped through the door it was clear that a lot of thought had gone into its layout, and I was immediately greeted by their staff. I don't know what it is about Dollar Generals, but they always seem to have the happiest staff on board. The prices are about what you'd expect, completely within reach with the usual combination of "This is insanely cheap" and "A dollar is expensive for this item." Nothing more than what you'd expect from a place like this, and certainly nothing to complain about when you consider all of the great deals they provide. If you're in the area and need to pick up cheap drinks or other basic supplies for your home, stop in and save a bundle.

Whether it's milk, eggs, coffee, apple fritter, or ice cream we seek, nothing is off limits when Stewart's is involved. Today I went for milk, and left with an arm full of goodies large enough to warrant purchasing a five cent paper bag, oops. Sorry not sorry; I couldn't resist picking up some Stewart's cream soda to complement the pizza I was about to pickup down the street at Union Pizza; what can I say, I recognize the value in planning ahead for a full flavor experience. What pizza party is complete without a side of ice cream? I think the inner child in all of us can relate to that pairing. So in compliance I scooped up a gallon of "Mounds of Coconut" -- "coconut flavored ice cream with a coconut swirl and old fashioned fudge pieces" -- a flavor that debuted as a special edition a few summers ago and was so popular, customers were requesting to buy it by the giant commercial-sized tub it's made in at the Stewart's Candy Land ice cream ice cream factory. Needless to say, the fine folks at Stewart's convened and agreed to accelerate the flavor to full-time status. So, ice cream, milk, cream soda, and snacks in hand (Stewart's brand gummy worms are fire), out the door I went (after checking out with the always pleasant staff, of course). Newsflash: It's not always about us. Is your car parched and thirsty for some gasoline, or do its tires need a pep talk in the form of compressed air? Pimp your ride: Stewart's Edition. The more I think about it, Stewart's *is* Candy Land personified, and I'd love to play a Candy Land: Stewart's Edition board game during quarantine.

And adjacent to Ellis, sometimes this is the only place for late night provisions (my previous visit was during a hospital stay, when I ducked down here to get ibuprofen the hospital was going to charge me $9 a pill. Hey, a story for another day!) However, not wanting a visual booty call at eye level for my kids when dishing them up ice cream, we'll pass on this location in the future if there's any other alternative.
