Very good assortment of beer, wine, and all types of liquor - more than you would expect in a place this size. Within the assortment are all price ranges. I could get a $100 bottle of port or a $100 bottle of scotch - yet I can also get a $10 bottle of port or $20 bottle of scotch. Longer hours than most, they are generally open until 10:00 PM.

My name is Robert Goldman. I see no homeless there, except for the ones who congregate on Mc Lean…read morewith little signs asking for change nearby at the stoplight of Big Timber and Mc Lean Boulevard. I think their selection is " so so" in terms of what they can give you. They are just a small neighborhood store. Liquor stores have a 20 to 30 per cent markup on products which is how they have stayed in business so long while customers either buy their products or choose to go purchase beer some place else. The people there are not the friendliest people on earth. I suspect this is a family business trying to make a decent living. I also assume ( perhaps I am wrong) some underlying issues of the girl working there. I gave you a dollar. I gave you 75 cents. Why did you just rub my three quarters together and say " Now it is enough" when the dollar bill was placed on the counter? I could not hand you the dollar because you kept " touching and rubbing ( not trying to be vulgar) the three quarters " waiting" for my dollar which was right there in front of you! My arms are not ten feet long. WTF were you waiting for honey? An invitation to take the Washington from me? I had enough and yes I have paid with change and credit alike but who on earth even cares of petty things like this? I left the place forever scratching my head after leaving the store wondering what happened. I did not wish to say this. I bet the person writing this, as well as the one reading this " wants to be someplace else at this time." Am I right? The girl who works there works very hard! It is hard work serving the public! However, I suspect she wants to be away from her family or the store itself or both. She is a nice lady but at times she is a bit intense with myself and others. If they want a new customers then they will advertise wine tastes or work with the other stores to have wine tastings and burritos in the summer since there are no benches or any place to really hold such a thing, but, it just feels very " barren" when I go in there as its a small store with so much stuff on that counter. I did not see the dusty wine bottles. I did not buy wine. Therefore, I cannot ascertain one way or another the condition of their wine products but they do have quite a bit of wine for a small store that sits because Elgin simply is not the north shore. Deal with it. good day
