There's a corner store at the end of my road - Kathy and Franks's - that sells candies, beach stuff, pizza, milk, sodas (soft drinks,) various foodstuffs and beer! Handy for whatever is needfull.
In our town center there is a variety store that used to be a general small market but which has had to turn to carrying a few basic canned and packaged foods, milk but does most of its business with better wines. (New Hampshire has strange liquor laws) The only alcoholic beverages you can buy - outside of at a state-run store - are beer and wine.
But one thing the owners have kept from the Old Days is a huge penny candy assortment. The original owner/founder, Louis Marelli, loved children and his family has kept the store - and the wall of penny candies in his memory. The penny candy is right inside the front door the wine is well to the back! OK, some of the candies are a nickel (5¢)but you can get a licorice whip for a penny!
