However, it is worth noting that when it comes to late night beer runs Ken's is safe. Not only is it located practically on the UNC Campus in University Square adjacent to Granville Towers (which has its own security), but it's only a few doors down from a satellite office of the Chapel Hill Police Department. The staff is nice as well, even late into the night. If the party's gone dry, you need a late night sugar fix, or are just in search of this week's Vogue, Ken's will likely have it. And, more importantly, as safety has recently become an issue in Chapel Hill Ken's might be a wise choice.

It's also a popular spot for beer runs and for ordering kegs. They have a decent grocery section, and an even better beer section, because they know what college students want and need.

The staff isn't the friendliest around, but with reasonable prices and long hours, Ken's is a much needed stop.

The workers are scared to give you a pack of crackers if you get the salad bar. A pack of crackers that is bought in bulk. So, if you treat your workers poorly so where does that leave the customers. There is not a lot of places downtown you can get breakfast or salad that is convenient. Treat everyone special and your business will flourish! We should try to be better business owners, and every customer isn't trying to get something free. I don't plan to frequent there anymore if I can help it. Betty Jones

"You been there?" I asked my buddies. Nope. "It's not just a convenience store, right?" Shrugs. It's Friday. It's July 1st. Why not celebrate the coming holiday with America's culinary gift to the planet: the triple cheeseburger. I called it in, the very polite lady on the phone took my order. "You want everything on that, baby?" Yes, ma'am. Kitchen sink. I'm on my way. Sam's is a place where everyone knows everyone. It's a grill, but it's also part of a community. And when I rolled in, I felt like part of it. I waited a while, because the day of the week and the month meant everyone was getting takeout. I had a great side chat with the other guys waiting, and watched them pay out all three burgers and grill them. First time here, I said. "Oh, you'll be back, baby. You sure you want slaw and chili?" Of course, I let them know that there is no other proper way to dress a burger, and they agreed. I brought my greasy brown paper bag of goodness (after grabbing my combo soda out of the cooler) back home. Everything was wrapped tightly in wax paper, and after hurriedly tearing it open, I was rewarded with just a classic Carolina burger, stacked high and falling over under its own mass. Not greasy, not gooey, just freaking delicious. The fries were wrapped in a little paper boat, crisp crinkles. This is another Oxford gem. Friendly, not fast, just great food. It's hidden in plain sight, and I'm not sure why people aren't crushing this place weekly.

No need to go to the cramped CVS pharmacy on Fayetteville for basic medicine needs. In the drink area they have all the favorites -- sodas, teas, juice, energy drinks, and even beer and wine. The only thing they DON'T have that I wish they did is UNsweetened seltzer -- they only have a sweetened kind that I really don't like. For food they have a small frozen section with frozen food and ice cream, then a snack section, a Krispie Kreme booth, and even some things to take home to cook (soup, mac n cheese, etc). In terms of medicine, they have pretty much anything standard you'd need. It's not a pharmacy but there's meds for allergies, cold/flu, pain, and more.
