"Bought vapes more than 100 times from this store. Since last month the vapes came out faulty 3 times in a row. Today I got another faulty vape and went to return it and dude straight up said no refunds. Alright dude I ain't spending a dime here also will tell people to stay away from this spot. You just lost thousands of dollars for mere 18 bucks."

"My boyfriend is 22 & didn't have his ID with him (but he did have a photo of his passport on this phone). The man behind the counter not only refused to sell a vape to him but also to myself and I'm well past 21 and had my ID. He was extremely rude. Too many other (better) options in town than to deal with someone so rude & unhelpful."

"The owner, Raj, has been running this business for well over 20 years. Maybe close to 30. Great prices and polite service. Raj always knows exactly what I need. I've been a weekly customer for several years. I go there for American spirits and Larry's Nitro Brew 12 oz cans (which he sells for better price than most places) he also has Larry's Beans hot coffee. Very refreshing as convenience stores or gas stations always have terrible coffee, Raj has the good organic fair trade coffee for excellent price. I don't drink alcohol but for those who do, you can get Kegs at College Beverage. Raj is the man and his family (who also work there) are also great with customers."

"At first my spouse and I loved this place and would go here for all of our drinking needs. Then we had two instances where they charged us an outrageous amount for beer in what seemed to be a tricky way. The first time it was $18 for a tall boy. The second time it was $28 for a 4 pack of beer that is listed at being worth about $10 at your local Harris Teeter. The second time was the last straw for us. In both instances the cashier mumbled the price so my husband couldn't hear (so he assumed it was a normal beer price), no receipt was offered, and it was until later when we reviewed our account that we noticed the charge. The first time we chalked it up to our mistake or just a pricier beer, but the second time we knew we were bamboozled. Obviously we should have been more careful with paying attention to the price and getting a receipt, but even so - it's dishonest and not a company we care to support any longer."

"I’ve been a short-time costumer of this store for a little bit until today, went in and bought a vape that I normally get from this store, and it didn’t work. Not a problem though, because most stores will just give you a fresh one especially for a 9$ vape. So I went back in later, and kindly told him that it wasn’t working and requested a new one or at least get my money back. He refused to do anything and was rather rude about it. Lesson Learned: don’t buy Vapes from this store, and save yourself some money!"
