The sign says Jennifer, but it also says Frank. It is really Mr. Kim's store. I don't think Mr. Kim is Frank either. And please don't get this confused with the weird little pizza sandwich shop next door. I don't know if they are both owned by the mysterious Jennifer, but that would certainly shoot a few stars off this review. The majority of customers there are rowdy high schools students. However, Mr. Kim is respected by the local police, firemen, new moms, grandmothers, hipster couples, commuters, and plain old folks picking up a few staples to make dinner.
Mrs. Kim is friendly as well, and for a couple years has been slipping my husband and I free chocolates. At first it was just my husband who got the free chocolate, but never when I accompanied him. It was the best day ever when, shopping alone, she finally handed me the nice hazelnut filled chocolate with the enticing silver foil wrapper.
Because our main grocery store turned into an unnecessary drugstore, we have purchased a lot of groceries here. There are the typical trashy corner store items like chips, cookies and ice cream but there are also items normally ousted to the "health food section" of the bigger grocery stores. There is also a decent selection of beer and hard cider. If you get produce here, be sure to use it within two or three days because it won't really last longer than that.
