Park Place Market

It has a good selection. Def appreciate the 25 cent Laffy Taffy and stacked cereal selection. Pretty solid late night scene too. Lots of hungry drunk people and some lonely ice cream eaters (been there, no judgment). But I do not agree that the owner is warm and welcoming…

Over priced for sure but puts the convenience in convenience stores! They are pretty well stocked too — and the owner is warm and welcoming :)

While this store does have a great selection for a small convince store (and I do mean great, they have way more than all the other food & liquor stores in the area), the prices are too absurd to make this anything more than a place to pick up an item in a pinch. I’m glad I don’t live in the building, otherwise I’d be lining this store’s pockets on a constant basis. I got a tiny bottle of olive oil hear that cost me $ 10. Just too expensive.

The reason I use this convenience store is… because of its convenience. I live in this building and it’s great to have this store if I need to make an emergency beer run and don’t want to leave the building…
…however…due to its convenience, the prices are kinda ridiculous and if I had some sort of dire bread or cheese emergency, maybe I’d shell out $ 6 for a loaf or brick. The owner has always been nice to me and the store is always clean when I’ve been inside.
This place puts the «convenience» in «convenience store», but that’s about it.
PS — if you ever need an onion the size of a soccer ball, this is your place!

I really like this place! It is very close — prices are not crazy, they have a huge selection and the owner is very friendly and helpful!

I live in the building and one reason I love living her is because of this store. In the city is so difficult to find a place with EVERYTHING! This is a one stop shop for me. They have liquor, beer, wine, soda, millions of juices, frozen foods, deli sandwiches, wrapping paper, medicines, atm machine, fresh produce, everything! And they are so good that when i ask for something they dont have, they get it for within 2 days.
My parents come to visit me and they love my place for the same reason. They love to make meals and think its so convenient to just go downstairs and pick up spices and any veggie if they need it.
I can host parties on the fly cuz on my way up I pick up everythign that I need for my party.
The guy behind the counter knows me by name and is super friendly. I am nice to him so he is very sweet with me. Love this place dearly and love my place even more because of this amazing luxury!

This place makes me semi-​violent. Even more so because I end up frequenting it since it is close and open until midnight. That, and that it is a good sized convenience store, are the only reasons I’ll give it two stars. Almost everything is grossly overpriced, more-​so than other convenience stores (they always seem to be a bit of a rip-​off). The only exception I’ll give is with the hummus (fairly standard price) and apparently the mac and cheese, though I know that only from the previous reviewer.
Besides the prices, what makes me hate this store is the guy who is always behind the counter. He sees me ALL the time, yet is never friendly, often even curt. I’ve also witnessed him being really rude with other customers (banging on the counter and yelling at them to hurry up when they were getting money out). There is no excuse for that.
I should really boycott. If it weren’t for this part of Irving Park being so dead and dark at night, I definitely would.

This is the convenience store in my building. An indian man named ‘Ken’ runs it and he is always rocking out to lite fm aka madonna, disco, and seal, among other hits. If YMCA comes on, all hell breaks loose.
Also, when the diet coke was out of order, a sign saying ‘diet cock is out of order’ was posted on it. See pic for reference.
I come here for ez mac a whole lot and it’s only 99cents. Steal of the century.
