Convenience Stores in Kensington, MD

“Today, during a routine stop at a local store for water—a place I frequent several times a week in my neighborhood—I experienced a moment that reaffirmed my faith in humanity. On this particular visit, I had my son with me. After making my selection and completing my purchase, I realized my son was still deciding on his choice. By the time he made his selection, I had already finished paying.

I asked my son to put back his item since we were ready to leave. He walked out of the store ahead of me, and in the haste of the moment, I didn’t immediately grasp how disappointed he felt about not getting his treat. However, someone did notice— the store manager.

As we were about to drive away, the store manager approached us and handed my son the item he had chosen, at no cost. This gesture, simple yet profound, was a testament to the manager’s remarkable empathy and readiness to act kindly without hesitation.

This act of generosity not only brightened my son’s day but also deeply touched me. It served as a powerful reminder that kindness and compassion are all around us, waiting to be recognized and appreciated. Such moments remind us of the goodness in people and encourage us to remain open to the countless acts of kindness that enrich our lives.”

“This is "My 7-11" been going for a good 30 years now! They know me & which cigarettes I smoke, I don't have to say anything, just how many packs I want! The pre-made Chicken Cesar salads are fantastic. As are the soft pretzels & brownies at the register.The cappuccino machine is down frequently, sad to say in the winter months! Occasional language barrier w/ new cashiers.”

“We were in Kensington so I could pick up my crab bomb from a nearby market and yummy gratis vanilla cupcake with strawberry champagne frosting from Mike B via Sweets by Sam. Jealous? You should be. Only we couldn't get a pizza from also nearby Continental Pizza because my pal doesn't carry cash. We came here to use the ATM machine, but ending up getting pizza slices from here because they were so darn cheap! The cheese slices were really cheesy and warm. They were actually really tasty! Maybe not as good as the fore mentioned pizza place, but paired with a small $1.00 Slurpee, it hit the spot. Get this: slices are 2/$2, or... if you enroll in their Reward program (enter your phone number at the register to join) they are 2/$1.00! Maybe that's a limited time thing. Also, their fresh baked cookies looked great. They're 2/$1.00, and they have a variety of flavors. Also a small box (6/$2.99). I would have bought some if I had just picked up a gluttonous haul from also nearby Donut King. (Their apple fritters are the bomb for breakfast!) So, I may not buy connivence food from here, because the markup is high, but I will be back for those cookies. (Sorry, no pics...yet.)”

“This CVS is now a very pleasant and efficient place to shop for the basics that CVS is so good at. Shelves are stocked, check out is fast and when you have a question, there is a manager or an attendant there to help!”

“CVS Pharmacy runs a good business regardless of where I go as I certainly were in a number of their stores in Prince Georges and Montgomery County but sometimes I entered some in the District of Columbia. I see no differences in the chain when it was Peoples. Keep running a good business.”
