I lived about 2 blocks down the street from this store for a year. My friends and neighbors and I walked down to this store almost every day. It’s a fairly safe store considering the location. There’s a laundry mat adjacent to it that attracts some seedy people, but the store itself is clean and well stocked. There are 2 brothers that own/manage this store. Both of them are very nice guys. Since we were regulars, both brothers went out of their way to get to know us and they took a genuine interest in us as people. They really have quite a variety of cigarettes and are more than willing to stock up on your particular brand or variety. The beer is less expensive than the Kroger next door and they keep it ice cold. We didn’t buy a lot of «food» type items here because of the Kroger. But I did find a lot of random things, like fuses and hardware that you wouldn’t find anywhere else, nearby. I would recommend this store to anyone that lives in the area and to any UH students looking for beer and cigs near campus.
