Convenience Store

A convenience store is a small retail establishment that offers a variety of everyday products. These typically include groceries, snacks, candy, soft drinks, tobacco, non-prescription medications, personal care items, newspapers, and magazines. In certain areas, these stores are also permitted to sell alcoholic beverages like beer and wine. Additionally, convenience stores may provide services like money orders and wire transfers. Unlike general stores and village shops, convenience stores are usually located in urban areas and serve as a handy addition to larger retail outlets.
