Main Street Grocery

Main Street Grocery is one of those true neighborhood corner stops in Atlanta, and the people who shop here will tell you it is the owner who makes it. Folks around here just call him MB, and ask anyone who has been coming since he first opened and they will say the same thing: he and his family are genuinely kind, friendly people who treat you right. One longtime regular remembers that if MB didn't stock what you wanted, he would write it down, tell you the day it would arrive, and have it waiting. That kind of care keeps people loyal.

On the smoking side, you will find cigars kept behind the cashier stand, and locals are a little surprised at how decent the selection of sticks is for a store this size. There are tobacco pipes, vapes and vape pens, cigarettes, and the everyday smoking accessories you might need for a quick run. It is not a dedicated cigar lounge, so set your expectations for a well-run corner store that happens to keep a solid tobacco corner rather than a walk-in humidor.

Beyond the smoke shop items, this is a proper grocery stop too. People swear by it for lottery and scratch-off tickets, and the word around the neighborhood is that plenty of winners have come through the door here. You can grab a few groceries, some cold beer, and be on your way. One person picked out a Father's Day gift here with help from a friendly attendant and left happy.

The store stays clean, the product selection is better than you'd guess from the outside, and the welcome is warm. With a strong reputation earned from the folks who shop here regularly, Main Street Grocery is an easy neighborhood favorite in Atlanta for a quick, friendly stop.
