Ben's Penny Mart is a great convenience store with better wares than your average 7/11. They have a…read moresmall selection of Japanese snacks (a nod to big brother Ben's Tune-Up next door), and a good number of local beers, which are available for individual purchase. They also now have TVs, which makes the Penny Mart a nice quiet location to catch a game. They have recently added Foothills Meats, as the other reviewer noted, which really completes the experience for me--people-watching at their streetside bar while enjoying a meaty sandwich is a fantastic way to spend an afternoon.

I've had the sh*t on a shingle special too, good old fashioned comfort food. If you're downtown near the south slope and want a quick bite, it's definitely worth checking out. There is a small bar for eating, but it's better for take out.

Coffee is pretty good as far as gas stations go. Plenty of snacks and treats if you need it. Good location on the triangle and easy access from both sides of the street. Open 24 hours!

This will be the last bastion of what the south slope once was…read more 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.

Gas is cheaper in South Carolina, and you'll immediately know why when you drive on our roads! The advertised gas prices are the cash-only prices, and if you plan to pay with a credit card (like most people), you will pay a few cents more. Even after the extra 10 cents per gallon, it was still one of the less expensive gas stations in the area, though. I got a coffee and topped it off with some hot chocolate cappuccino. The cappuccino machine worked well (often, gas station cappuccino machines are clogged and only dispense water with a hint of flavoring). My coffee was as good as I could've expected it to taste from a Hot Spot. The convenience store has a good selection of local brews as well, including one of our favorites, Ginger's Revenge. Hot Spot isn't fancy, but it gets the job done if you need gas and snacks for the road.
