5th Avenue Speed Mart

I'm not certain when the reviewer below (above maybe?) visited the store because there is only one employee who smokes and HE doesn't do so in the middle of the store. The owners have made great strides to overcome the stigma of the area (and this reviewer below) it's in and has done a great job. The owner has added a new variety of snacks, including LOTS of healthy options, and has worked to brighten up the outside so customers feel safe. He has also talked extensively with customers about upgrades and changes coming soon, including a fast food restaurant that is welcoming of all religious cultures (based on how the food is prepared and cooked). Kudos to all of the employees, all of whom are nice people and do a good job. Can you help your clientele? No, especially in a low income area, but the store and employees do their best to welcome everyone.

This is quite possibly the nastiest store I've ever been in. The entrance reeks of cigarette smoke. I walked in and the attendant was standing in the middle of the store puffing away with a big stinking smoke cloud hovering around her. I immediately turned around and quickly left.
