St John Market

This is my neighborhood convenience store, and it is exactly that: no frills, but very convenient. The hours are great, the staff is friendly. There are always at least two employees working at all times, so there's rarely any wait for service or assistance, and they keep a close eye on the place. Their prices are also very good. They have a decent beer selection - you won't find any rare or specialty items, but they have every Mexican beer I've ever heard of, and the Boulevard staples. They also have a good selection of liquor and cigars, if either are your thing. Again, nothing too unique, but most of the essentials. You're mostly out of luck on wines, but they have a great selection of the Boone's Farm, Nighttrain, Thunderbird, MD 20/20...If you happen to be in this neighborhood and need something, it's good to know what is and isn't in demand. In this store you will find lots of Mexican/Latino foods, drinks and snacks. A wide variety of drinks in general...but hardly anything diet or low calorie. Seriously - unless you are down with Diet Coke or are willing to buy a whole 12-pack, don't expect to find what you're looking for. Same goes for "light" gatorade, energy drinks, etc. In sum: if you are near St. John Market and need a drink or some other convenience store items, there's no reason not to stop by, and they won't let you down. But there's really no reason to go out of your way to check this place out.
