Last week I stopped in Second Street Shoppers, the convenience store on Second across from the Peabody, and I talked to the people who run the store for a while. They’ve had a deli for a while that serves wraps, salads, subs, pizza, wings, burritos, desserts, and breakfast items. However, now they’ve taken it a step farther. They’ve hired a chef who is going to prepare Italian food. He gave me samples of macaroni salad, spaghetti and meatballs, and Italian potato salad, all very good. If you need something to eat Downtown, and you don’t have time for a sit-down meal, Shoppers is an option to get some very good food in a hurry.
Of course, they also carry all the items you’d expect a convenience store to carry, including beer, snacks, basic toiletries, souvenir items, cell phone accessories, coffee and soft drinks. Hey, speaking of soft drinks, it’s time for my morning Mountain Dew run. I think I’ll stop by. And I’ll check in on Foursquare. Wonder who the mayor is there?
