Obetz Convenience & More

The word around Columbus is that Obetz Convenience & More has turned a real corner since the new owner took over, and folks who shop here are quick to say so. Ask anyone who comes in regularly and the conversation lands on the same thing: the owner is friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful without ever pushing you toward anything. He'll ask how your day is going, take the time to answer questions, and actually listen when you tell him what you'd like to see on the shelves.

More than one regular has mentioned he adds new items every visit and keeps asking what to bring in next. The selection covers the essentials and then some. You'll find vapes and disposables, e-liquid and vape juice, cigars, glass pipes and water pipes, rolling papers and wraps, cigarettes, and a good range of smoking accessories.

Locals will tell you the shop is clean, well organized, and easy to browse, with everything laid out so you can find what you came for. People appreciate the fair prices too, and a few have pointed out the non-name-brand cigarettes are priced better than what you'd pay at the gas stations, with less waiting and fewer crowds. It's the kind of place people are willing to drive a little further for.

Several regulars say the trip is worth it for the service and the quality of the pieces alone, with one customer summing it up as a 10 out of 10 every single time. A visitor here and there has wished for a deeper stock of glass and hardware, but the general feeling is that the variety keeps growing and the owner is building something the neighborhood needed. If you're looking for a tobacco shop in Columbus with a welcoming owner who treats you like a regular from the first visit, Obetz Convenience & More has earned its solid reputation and the loyalty that comes with it.
