Cullen's Corner

"The best family run corner store in NE Portand. Period. Mr. Lee and his family have quietly helped so many kids/adults over the years. This store helps so many people in the NE neighborhood and Jefferson High School. And the hot bar food is on point. The pricing is on point. And they carry all the things you need in a pinch. Milk, butter, produce, batteries, cold medicine, gloves, beanies, you name it. You can not find a better run corner store or a better family owned business in NE Portland. Beyond grateful for this place."

"What a great little ‘BIG’ store in our neighborhood! Lee,Tanny and their son Paul own & operate this friendly, well stocked gem of a store! (Every now and then you may walk in & hear someone singing- that is Paul who treats us now & then with his beautiful singing voice!). When you come in- even if you have been coming for awhile- just take a minute to look around & you will be pleasantly surprised at all they carry- including a very handy ATM! They have a great beer & wine selection plus ciders, energy drinks & juice. They carry Dairy-milk,yogurt, sour cream & cottage cheese. They have quite the selection of fresh produce-avocados,tomatoes, potatoes & onions. nice bananas & usually apples & oranges for a quick healthy snack or to toss in a lunch box. In their cooler you will also find sandwiches,lettuce, lunch meat, cheeses, bell peppers, jalapeños,cabbage, mushrooms & once we get near summer- expect cucumbers & zucchini too! They have a large selection of chips & you will find different flavored dips & salsa in their cooler. All day they keep their food warmer stocked with perfectly cooked chicken strips, chicken & jojos & spring rolls-yes! every day! They are my regular stop during the week when I want a friendly face & a chat and don’t want a busy/crowded grocery store. I buy quaker oatmeal & brown sugar, Charmin Ultra Soft toilet paper & Mike’s Cranberry Hard Cider- so much more & They sell butter by the cube too if you don’t need the whole box!! They carry frozen foods too- like Ice Cream & pizza for one & Stouffer’s frozen lasagna is a regular favorite of mine too. The dry essentials like foil, paper towels, toilet paper, soaps, diapers- & much, much more-stuff needed for barbecue-it’s all here & all so reasonably priced!They are open when most places are not -like during this pandemic and when we have severe weather-snow & ice events because they know we need them-they are essential to our community & I am so happy they are here. Thanks for being here and always so friendly and caring! I certainly appreciate you!"

"Great store! Nice selection of snacks and beers (even some produce). I used to live around the corner, and now I go out of my way to stop there and chat with Lee and check-in. In fact, I was so fond of the place when I lived in the area that I felt compelled to take some long exposure film photos. In a world lacking interpersonal communication, especially within convenience stores, it's refreshing to step into Cullen's Corner.10/10 recommend."

"Mr. Lee and his family are by far the most welcoming people! I love coming by and seeing these folks who have welcomed me into this neighborhood and made me feel at home. Cullen’s has everything you need! Great beer and wine selection, as well as anything you may need for a quick dinner at home. This place feels like home."
