Columbia Mart

Columbia Mart is the kind of corner store Columbia, Pennsylvania folks stop into for a little of everything, with about half the place set up as a proper smoke shop. You will find tobacco pipes, cigarettes, filters, and a solid spread of smoking accessories, alongside the usual staples, snacks, candy, and even odds and ends like t-shirts, jewelry, and knives. There is lottery and slot machines going, and the baked goods case up front tends to catch your eye on the way in.

Locals will tell you the tobacco and filter selection here holds its own, and the shelves stay well stocked. Ask anyone around town and Columbia Mart is one of the best-regarded stores in the neighborhood. Word is the shop keeps the store clean and tidy, and plenty of regulars come back for the friendly, quick service and the fair, affordable prices.

As one longtime shopper put it, this is another local store that everyone should give a try. The owners get a lot of love too, and people appreciate how patient the team can be when something needs sorting out, like tracking down an old receipt. One thing worth knowing: Columbia Mart stays open later than just about any store in town.

If you need tobacco or accessories after everyone else has closed up, this is where people head. We have heard the odd grumble about service on an off day, but folks note the counter crew has been polite and helpful lately, and the overall feeling around Columbia is that this is a friendly, well-run corner store worth stopping into.
