Fanwood Corner Store

This is as close to a Manhattan style bodega as you’re going to find in small-​town New Jersey. Their stock variety is limited, they don’t often have what I need, their hours are INCREDIBLY inconsistent (they don’t even have them posted anymore). ATM is always out of order (cash only business as well).
With that having been said, the folks who run the place are great and friendly. They’re eager to help, and always offer to get stuff in if you’re a person they see regularly (I walk by dogs past the shop at least a couple times a day). Will always gladly go in for a candy bar or a soda or some batteries… but do my best to avoid having to use them if I have a real «need», as it’s very likely not to be something they’ll have in the store.
IF you need something quick, definitely stop in and say hello. It’s worth mention that they have a grill in the back: I’ve never tried it, and not sure that I would… but it is a bodega in the greatest senses of the word.
