Well we were on the island for a day and decided to see if it was still there. We drove up and there was a window boarded up and it looked deserted. Upon a second look and one car in the parking lot we saw it was open and decided to hop in and give them some love. We were greeted warmly by a cashier donning a mask, which I was happy to see. We went up and down all the aisles of this old school grocery store. They have just about anything you'd need, including for the beach. We saw the cutest seashell nightlight with a seahorse etched on it and had to have it. Not a big purchase, but at least some support. When this crazy pandemic clears and we feel we can safely stay a few days this will be our go to for any needed groceries.

As I was waiting in line with my dog to get his usual pup cup, and a smoothie for myself. A young lady came over " reprimanded us in front of all of the customers) and told us that dogs were not allowed. I explained that we've been coming there for years. Should we leave? She said yes, you can tie your dog outside. I do not tie my family members outside unattended. She gave me the poor excuse that there was food there and dogs were not allowed. So we left! We drove over to the old Sea merchant, which is now Carolina Beach market and deli... They have far more food, coffee, smoothies, ice cream, deli, and a huge selection of food with far better prices! Not only did they welcome us with open arms, they even said hello to my dog and gave the poor guy a treat! They also have properly running air-conditioning and far fresher food unlike the place we just left! My family and I will now fully be taking our business over to a great business that really appreciates their local customers! Thank you, Carolina Beach market and deli For treating my dog and I with the respect we both deserved!

It may no sense to me There was no drive-thru, everybody would have to get out of their car and go in to this very tiny little quick mark right near where the Winner boats used to be parked! I decided as a reward for going to pick up my printing down at Carolina Beach with gas prices being so high I needed to make it a twofer so I went and decided to try this burger. There were a number of cars parked outside but I saw someone bringing white bags to cars. So I went in and not knowing where to go and was greeted by a nice man It's a very simple menu in a very small location. I had to talk myself out of trying the chicken cheese steak since I hadn't tried the burger and that's why I went. I could have added a lot more toppings to it but decided to go basic with bacon cheeseburger with lettuce tomato onion ketchup mustard and mayo. I paid for it about 9 $10 and they told me to go back out to my car and they would bring it to me. It was not long after they brought it to me and I drove home and tried to make it last for two meals, but it was so good. I think the roll is kind of like a Hawaiian roll, but I can't swear to it There was something sweet about it and that's what I had to get. It was delish and I've had to talk myself out of driving back down there to get another one today. If you want to try something really yummy and a complete surprise check out the quick Mart at Carolina Beach. You won't be disappointed.
