Options for no car (Key Foods, Oliva, Shop Rite and Ranch 99) and car (Acme). There is a shopping cart in the closet to use for purchases.
Great place for anything you may need, including made to order sandwiches. Packaged goods are more expensive than the larger markets, probably due to convenience.
