Rick's Place is a small convenience shop that sells good coffee and an array of bakery and other…read moreconvenience store-type foods like pre-packaged sandwiches, yogurt, bananas, juice, chips, granola bars, etc. It is located inside the 1 Ashburton Place state office building, so if you don't have a state employee ID card, you'll need to pass through the metal detector to get in. Most of what Rick's Place sells can be purchased in the much larger Ashburton Cafe cafeteria one floor below, but it saves you a few minutes and a flight of stairs. Plus, Rick's Place stays open later, which can be a figurative lifesaver for those days when you need a late-afternoon snack or you're so absorbed in your work that you completely miss lunch.

Run of the mill convenience store in the not so appealing Christian hill/centerville section of…read moreLowell. This store has a good selection crammed into a moderate space. We have been going here for years but don't go off track to add this stop to your daily route just to try a new store. Nothing wrong with it but just a normal store.

This has been a corner store since at least my mom was a kid. It's always been Hodgkin's Spa but…read morewe usually just call it by the name of the proprietor. When my mom was a kid, it was Pete's, when I was a kid it was Tony's (and God bless Tony, he was the best!). Now we call it Ray's because Ray owns it and runs it with his family. He's friendly and great and takes good care of his customers. This is your standard corner store, so if you need milk, the paper, lotto, etc they have it. They always have fresh coffee. Not gourmet stuff but good affordable coffee. Plus they've always sold Ritchie's Slush; you can't walk by and not get a slush in the summertime, especially if you're playing at the park across the street with your kid! Anyhow, it's a good little neighborhood place, so support it and forget 7-11.

This place rocks. They have come in handy so many times already and I've only lived off Holland…read moreSt. for a month. Some random ass things that they carry: Poland Springs Raspberry-Lime sparkling water Chocolate Sprinkles Velveeta shells & cheese (come on, who doesn't love a little mac and cheesey goodness??) They're super close and not super expensive. 2 great things in my book. Weird factors: They sell Italian Ice...so sometimes you have to wait in line behind a pack of small children & their parents. They also sell lotto tickets, so there seem to be a handful of guys who hang around there all the time, just buying tickets and scratch cards.

The Staff is always watching Tv. Never very helpful…read more The beer selection is an atrocity. The cooler is never stocked but somehow they carry Johnnie Walker Blue label behind the counter? You'll have better luck right across the road at Anthony's if you want beer. If you want wine, hit the Wine Gallery near Stop & Shop. Interesting note though: This was the only place my roommate could find Carlo Rossi on Memorial Day Weekend...

Great place to buy booze if your a kid. To bad they've been shut down due to selling liquor to…read moreminors. Now where are the kids of East Dedham supposed to get their alcohol? I hope they have older siblings who don't mind driving a little further to buy for them!

Your average townie convenience store. Nothing more nothing less…read more Pros: Open late, polite staff, stock a wide variety of mundane kitchen/household items. Perfect if you need to grab soap, cooking oil, paper towels, etc late at night. Cons: Prices higher than at a grocery store. Occasionally find some sketchy townies hanging out in the store. Avoid the anonymous-brand plastic-jug juice drinks like the plague. Most disgusting "orange juice" I've ever tasted although that's more the fault of whatever "farm" produced said juice, than the store for stocking it.

I LOVE this store. Anyone who is working is always so nice and professional. They have offered to…read moreorder things to sell for me since I live in the area. They are very personable and friendly. They have offered hand sanitizer at the front since the start of the pandemic, and have a wonderful selection outside of what i usually get. I highly recommend King's for a fast and easy experience, if you are in the area!
