Food & Lotto

This store is called
EXPRESS MART!
It is NOT called Food & Lotto, and you won't find it by looking for that name on the sign outside!
I submitted the necessary changes to Google. It was approved. I don't know why they changed it from Kwik Stop to Food & Lotto when I gave valid proof via Sun Biz, my receipts, pictures, screenshots, etc that the name is actually EXPRESS MART, and it was approved....? Disregard the name, please, and keep your eyes peeled for EXPRESS MART. You'll be glad you did.
It's an awesome convenience store/smoke shop located at 551 S.R 436, Altamonte Springs, 32714. It's located right off of the I-4 freeway. It's about a half mile from the intersection of S.R. 436 and S.R. 434 (Walgreens, 711, Target, PNC on adjacent corners in Altamonte Springs,) if you are heading towards Express Mart from/past I-4, or turning right on 436 from the store. to State Road 434 is a convenient store located off of State Road 436 in Altamonte Springs.
Definitely a hidden gem!
It is always clean, organized, & well stocked every time I stop in, which is almost daily. They carry the same brands (and often at a better price,) as it's competitors.
But, unlike the corporate giants, Express Mart is family owned and operated, and a local small business. Instead of continuing to fund the corporate stores, with locations literally on every corner of the world, give Express Mart the business you were already planning by supporting your local economy. Spend your hard earned money at a store that goes above and beyond, in every way, every day, for every customer. This is a store that will appreciate your business more than 7-11 ever will.
The owner and all who work here care about the store, but more importantly, they care about their customers. They go the extra mile to provide what their return shoppers request, and they do it quickly, affordably, and with care. I have ALWAYS left with a shopping bag, feeling respected and content. They treat customers like friends instead of "the job". They genuinely have compassion.
They greet you with a smile when you enter, and, if you're up to it, friendly conversation, as well as answers to any questions you may have- WHEN you have them. They give you your space and time to shop, without following you around endlessly. It really is convenient.
I often leave the store with a smile on my face, or still laughing, after a brief, upbeat conversation with the owner as he rings me up.
He probably has no idea, but as he waves and wishes me well, it has been just enough to turn my day completely around on several occasions.
He has a good selection of housewares, snacks, groceries, and the typical convenience store staples- cigarettes, scratch offs, lighters, etc.
The best part about the store, besides the owner, of course, is the growing vape & smoke inventory.
The vape products, for a limited time, consist of a variety of flavors/brands of disposable-style vapes, and at a good price.
However, there has been FREQUENT expansions in their inventory: wider selections of smoke AND vape supplies to adhere to more seasoned smoke-shoppers.
Once this happens, this store will be even more of a force to be reckoned with. The surrounding smoke/vape stores better bring their A-game!
I am sold already! This (will) include: starter kits, box mods, tanks, coils, rechargeable batteries, stick vapes, replacement glass, and high-end brands of vape juice with 0, 3, & 6mg of nicotine content. Bottle sizes range from 50, 60, 100, & 120mL.
And it doesn't end there.
You'll find bowls, torches, lighters, screens, butane, scales, trays, grinders, awesome water pipes..., plus, high quality, unique, beautiful slides you will not find anywhere else.
The selection is already great, but trust me, it continues expanding daily. The quality matches the unbeatable prices, so my loyalty to this shop a no brainer. I will not go anywhere else for my smoke and vape needs.
I highly recommend it to anyone looking for smoke shop-type products, or a quick snack on their way home.
You're first trip in won't be your last! Stop in.
