It was called the Circle K. Me and my friends used to walk there to get candy and pop and stuff. It's not there any more which is sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-favorite-convenience-store-growing-up#post-620337 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 11:34:53 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 620337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had mr.convenience by our house and they sold ice cold pickles in a bag!<br /> We weren't old enough to walk there on our own but one time my best friend (&amp; neighbor) talked her big brother (he was 12!) to walk us there.<br /> My mom trusted him with us &amp; off we went:) we felt super cool.<br /> Of course my mom warned me before going "that dollar is for you *and* your sister!"

They all still sold penny candy in the mid-80s. A quarters worth of Swedish fish ftw! </p> <p>@mrbee: I lived by a High's one of the summers I lived in ocmd. </p> <p>Now, I am a sheetz fan all the way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-favorite-convenience-store-growing-up#post-620294 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 11:23:35 +0000 mrbee 620294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There was a High's convenience store about a 5-10 minute walk from my house.<br /> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High's_Dairy_Store">High's Dairy Store on Wikipedia</a></p> <p>We would save up and then bike there and then buy like, a single pack of Nerd's. Then we would glory over having candy. It was a pretty awesome feeling.</p> <p>Did you have a favorite convenience store growing up? What did you buy there? </p>
