Am I really giving a convenience store five stars??? Well, yes, I am. Why??? Because it's much more…read morethan a podunk convenience store with limited selection, high prices and lotto. Nope, the owners are friendly, the store is very clean, well-organized, and incredibly well-stocked. Seriously, it is more like a small neighborhood specialty grocery shop or market and calling it a convenience store is a tad bit an insult. Besides, it's the only game in town for a few miles unless you're willing to enter the crap store they have in downtown Gaines that supposedly passes for a grocery store or the old 7-11 in Swartz Creek. The food selection is pretty good here, the prices are competitive and the liquor and wine selection seems to be outstanding, including some of the more top shelf brands. It's great for filling out the bar for a party or weekend barbecue. As for the food, I've actually found a nice mixture of fresh snacks, light groceries, and health food. Nothing is expired, out of date, or caked in dust, unlike a few stores in the area that I could mention, but won't. There really aren't a lot of decent fast food spots nearby, which makes this place a great idea if you want to grab a quick sandwich, snack or salad while running errands or going back to the office. If you need to grab a lunch on the go or a few groceries for the weekend or some top shelf booze for a get-together, this is the place. Oh, and the staff is super nice and friendly!

Much more than a convenience store!…read more Ground Floor Market, which opened a couple of months ago in the historic Dryden Building, is known as a "grab and go" lunch spot in the middle of downtown Flint. Its focus is on selling healthy ready-to-go luncheon items and snacks to local business professionals and college students who are always on the move and often too busy to sit down and enjoy lunch at one of the nearby sit-down restaurants. So far, that concept appears to be working. Featuring bakery items, like pastries, cookies, bread, etc from Fenton's own Crust (which has a kiosk at the Flint Farmer's Market) and the Laundry, both of whom are reknown for their baked goods, as well as homemade soups and sandwiches from the Lunch Studio (another popular downtown spot) and Oliver T's, the market is filling a "grab and go" lunch void dowtown that has needed filling for some time now. The variety of lunch items is pretty varied, with featured soups of the day such as Minestrone, White Chicken Chili, Butternut Squash, Roasted Red Pepper, and Mushroom from the ever-popular Lunch Studio and Oliver T's. The Roasted Red Pepper and Butternut Squash are both delicious and savory, but my favorite is the Minestrone- hearty and heart-healthy as well. Be sure to check out their soup of the day, as it changes daily as the name implies. They also sell a variety of beverages, including coffee, sodas, teas, and sparkling cider from Boylan's (a seasonal treat), ice cream novelties and plenty of vegetarian-friendly sandwiches and wraps, all at reasonable prices. Seriously, a lot of folks that work or go to school downtown just don't have the time to enjoy a sit-down meal and tend to eat on the run, but don't want to be relegated to purchasing over-priced, unhealthy junk food from the local mini-mart as they dash back to work or class. That's where Ground Floor Market comes in to bridge the gap between grabbing Twinkies and bad gas station coffee and sitting down for an hour long lunch downtown. Its central location to the UM-Flint campus and major businesses downtown is a real plus for those wanting to grab a quick bite within walking distance. Prices are pretty reasonable, sometimes downright cheap, on just about everything, especially when taking into account that is still considered a convenience store of sorts. After all, convenience stores aren't exactly known for their low prices and high quality. In fact, low prices on baked goods from Crust and the Laundry are the norm here. Sometimes, they sell Crust cookies for a fraction of their regular price and occasionally they've run 50% off specials on pastries and sandwiches from both Crust and the Laundry and $1.99 bowls of soup if purchased with a specialty sandwich. Inside, it looks more like a specialty food market/cafe, as opposed to a convenience store, which I'm sure is what the owners were striving for when coming up with this concept. It's super cute, painted in bright, friendly colors, with exposed brick walls and hardwood floors- a far cry from the dingy convenience stores with bullet proof glass that seem to pervade this city. Personally, I rather like this new concept convenience store/grab & go lunch spot. It's a breath of fresh air, plus I love the idea of having new life breathed into the century-old Dryden Building, one of the city's most historic downtown structures. Overall, the staff is friendly and the service is prompt, in keeping with the "convenience" theme.

Hardy's is the most nasty fast food I have ever had!!! It was greasy and nasty I don't even eat all my food. And it took them alone time to make it. Fries were good tho. Would give them a 1.

Perfect spot to stretch your legs, grab a bite to eat, and let the dogs run around!…read more Stopped here on our way to Houghton Lake to let the dogs out. My least favorite thing about traveling with dogs is fussing with their leashes, harnesses, dilly dalling. My dogs enjoyed the space and getting out of the car. Snacks inside are plentiful. Possibly every option of candy, soda, chips you can imagine. There's even fresh fruit and salads! The real star of the show is their restrooms. Absolutely pristine. Will come back again!
