Love this place! My favorite thing is that they close at 11 PM 7 NIGHTS a WEEK! ?? Soooo helpful to those of us that work late! They have a surprisingly comprehensive selection, with a little bit of EVERYTHING! (At the bottom of this review I've written a list of some of the stuff they sell). They also carry really good, freshly prepared dinners made at their sister store (Boyle's) which has a kitchen. They have lots of parking, which is great. Their staff is always nice; especially Shallu; she is the best - I actually try to shop when I know she's working! Since I moved to Arlington I'm trying as much as possible to ONLY shop at Arlington Convenience because it supports a small business, and I've found that I only need to go to a big store maybe once a month, if that!Here's a small list of stuff they sell:Cereal, eggs, milk, almond milk, Lactaid milk, juice, ice cream, low-fat frozen yogurt, bread (including good whole wheat bread!??), coffee, coffee creamer, hummus, chips & snacks, canned soup, canned beans, tomato sauce, pasta, frozen entrees, boil-in-bag brown rice, a small selection of fruits & veggies (usually lettuce, bell pepper, bagged baby carrots, cucumber, apples, bananas, oranges & lemons), TP, cleaning products, laundry supplies, first aid (Advil, Tylenol, allergy medicine, alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, Imodium, etc), diapers, and feminine products.The prepared foods they usually sell are: chicken tikka masala (which I'm told is amazing), many salads, amazing homemade rice pudding which I LOVE, ravioli, sandwiches, & fruit salad. They all look great!They're big on lottery/scratch cards/Keno too, but I don't ever play those so check out other reviews for more info on that.As I always mention in my reviews when relevant, going here supports a small, local, minority, family, owned business. So not only is this place great, but you're making a difference shopping here instead of a chain store! ☀️
