What we sell.

This is a fairly small upscale grocery store in the year 2009. We have produce, canned goods, a bakery, a deli, candy, frozen food, beer, wine, pop, a pharmacy aisle, baby products, etc. Some customers get very upset when they come to the store at 11PM and are unable to find that special item that they made a special trip to our store to find. Here are some tips for you-

We do not carry paint. Sorry, no paint. Not even spray paint. Try a PAINT STORE.

We do not have mothballs. Remember, it is the year 2009. We do not have bluing for your hair, either. Or something called "Washing Soda", whatever that is, we don't have it.

We do not carry hardware. The closest you will get is staples and thumbtacks. We are a grocery store.

We do carry movies, but not a selection that you would find in, say, a MOVIE STORE.

We have two kinds of motor oil. No tire chains, windshield wipers, seat covers or anything else you might find at an AUTO SUPPLY STORE.

We do not carry sheets, blankets, pillows or shower curtains. Try SEARS.

We used to get requests all the time for ping pong balls. Now we carry ping pong balls, but not paddles or nets.

So, if you come into the store some evening and can't find oil filters, patio furniture or a socket wrench, take a look around. Maybe you would like some nice apples, cereal, cat food or milk. Our store does not have everything, but we have most of what a GROCERY STORE needs to supply.
