Within a 3-block radius, you have City Market, Benson Grocery, and J’s. How does J’s stack up? — Selection: narrower than City Market — some basic household necessities(tampons, soap), but not much. Although they probably stock similarly to Benson’s, you can find a wider variety of(slightly) higher quality goods at the latter(Flagship cheese, par example). I also love the multidtudinous array of repulsively delicious sugary goods at Benson(read: gushers, fruit by the foot, fruit roll-up, etc.) On the plus side, J’s is more intuitively organized — there are like 7 cases of beverages at Benson’s, with Coke products in like 4 of them. — Service: as expected… They will sell you items. That’s what you want, right? They don’t have the cute Asian guy from Benson’s, so that’s a bummer, but what can you do. — Misc: definitely less creepy/sketchy than City Market, which is always a plus.(Unless you find crackheads to be a vital part of the convenience store experience, in which case you’re better off heading to CM.) My fav convenience store is a little farther up Pine, the Pine Food Store, but sometimes you gotta settle.

Love, love, love J’s!!! These guys are always so sweet and so nice. We have many corner stores to choose from, but J’s is always top of the list!
