I'm scared to buy beer at this place. I guess some people enjoy spending $3.99 for a 3 year old sleeve of Oreos or $9.99 for a half gallon of expired milk. Was anyone purchasing any fresh fruits or vegetables? These little convenience stores prey on residents who either don't have the transportation or the means to shop elsewhere. And the Euclid Market makes sure that all the thugs on the corner of 17th and Euclid have a constant supply of rolling papers and other paraphernalia. Can't wait until Harris Teeter runs it into the ground. I love Harris Teeter. Glorifying the Euclid Market? I’m scared to buy beer at this place.
