ZIP ‘N Food Store #131

This review has almost nothing to to with gas prices, let’s just skip right to the grocery and food selection.
After living in College Station for almost 7 years it’s become easy to determine where International students live. Perhaps due to social networking in the last two years everyone from South America lives at Z Islander, and for the whole 7 years everyone from India lives on Northgate and College Main.
I have always given rave reviews to Summit Mini Mini Mart on South College for being the #1 Indian Grocery store;
It’s a «hidden gem» like my friend Andre said.
I will rank Zip ‘N Shell station as #3 as best selection of Indian food.
I actually spoke with the owner after he messaged me on Unilocal and he was a very kind, respectful and fun person to talk to. He listened to my concerns about overcharging students for gas, and illegally charging tax on food items like potato chips. Bottom line is, this store has an outstanding selection of Indian food items.
The selection of Asian /​Indian food items is the third best I have ever seen in BCS.
#1 is BCS Asian Grocery Food Mart;
#2 Mini Mart
As far as charging tax on potato chip bags, that’s actually illegal in Texas as chips are considered food, and more often than not foreign investors will take that extra money from consumers and fail to report it to the US Treasury. A sad and simple fact. So if they try to charge you sales tax on food (which HEB does not do), tell them that Greg D said to tell their owner that that is wrong and to stop.
Cheers.
