AL smoke shop

AL smoke shop has been part of Glendale for a long time. Word around town is the place traces back to the late 1950s, which is rare for any store, let alone a drive-through spot, and locals tend to bring that up with a bit of pride. The shelves cover the basics well. You'll find cigarettes, rolling papers, and a solid wall of glass, with plenty of pipes and water pipes to look through, plus the everyday smoking accessories.

People who shop here regularly point to the prices, and more than one person has mentioned picking up cigarettes here cheaper than they'd expect elsewhere. The convenience of the drive-through is a real plus for anyone who'd rather not park and come inside. Ask the folks who come in often and you'll hear good things about the service. One regular said he's been coming for years and has never had a bad experience, always treated well, and plans to keep coming as long as he lives on this side of town.

Friendly workers come up again and again. We'll be straight with you: locals are a little split on the hours. A few have grumbled that the shop doesn't always open right when the sign says, so it can pay to call ahead or catch them later in the day rather than first thing. Once the doors are open, though, most people walk out happy.

If you're looking for a longtime smoke shop in Glendale with a friendly face behind the counter and the convenience of a drive-through, AL smoke shop is worth a stop.
