Parnell's Mini-Mart

If you're in the Central District and walking to the Walgreens for food, go here instead. The food is the same price, and the local family running this shop are kind and funny. Worth it to support a small, neighborhood family shop.

Actual conversation:

Guy in front of me: "Mr. Lee can I get something free today?"

Mr. Lee (owner): "A free kiss?"

Lol!

Lee and the others that work at Parnell's are so so nice. The selection of the mini-mart is actually much more than what you would expect, too. I adore this store.

Friendly folks running a nice little store with a good selection. They even carry the dark blue spirits which aren’t always easy to find. Thanks guys ☺️

Great customer service! This place offers a wide variety of products and prices are very reasonable.

I’m always surprised by their selection, for example, the other day my wife sent me to the grocery store to pick up some ingredients for dinner. On my way home I realized I forgot to grab some onions she had requested. A blanket of terror came over me and I began to panic...and then in the distance I saw the heavenly glow that is Parnell’s Mini-Mart. I walked in and sure enough they had a great selection of onions to choose from.

Long story short, I am still happily married, and it’s all thanks to Parnell’s Mini-Mart.
