Biltmore Groceries

This will be the last bastion of what the south slope once was.
When the luxury loft apartments take over the warehouses and vacant spaces that line Short Coxe, Biltmore Groceries will stand as a testament to what the South Slope was like before it became a brewery hot spot.
This place makes me feel like a kid. It’s the exact kind of convenience store I remember going to on long road trips with my parents. Fluorescent lights, linoleum tile, big league chew, and an aroma cigarette smoke, faint. but ever present, engrained into the very structure of the building.
The gas pumps are mainly just for show.
This may also be one of the only convenience stores that doesn’t carry an ultra selection of high abv local craft brews in 22 oz bottles. They have a couple of six packs for Highland, but it would seem as though the beer distributors haven’t found or tend to avoid this spot.
One truly unique item they carry here is Budweiser in 8oz cans.
Also available are a wide array of gold chains and medallions, gilligan hats with phrases such as «Keep it 100» and «YOLO», and a surprisingly large selection of incense.
The owners are highly pleasant people. A wonderful couple. Very sweet, excited to have you in their store.
I won’t be heading here for supplies before a party or anything… but I will come here for a healthy dose of Southern nostalgia.
