In the 1960s I used to run to this corner store with my nickel to buy bubble gum and sometimes red licorice. My grandmother lived just a few houses down the street and my auntie lived around the corner. Sometimes we were sent here to get milk and a Jet magazine for the grownups. Being entrusted with this solemn responsibility was my first experience of being independent. The store is the only thing left on the block from that time that I recognize, I am glad that it is still here.

Great neighborhood spot! Family owned, friendly, and consistent selection. UPS service / drop location and convenient store staples.

Semira’s is a great spot — super friendly! Has a little bit of everything.

This is the nicest local store for a quick stop to go to if you need something to munch on. I go here everyday and the owner is always very nice. Its small and it doesnt carry much. But I thought tobacco glass pipes were very cheap price too getting me another one.

Love this store! Its close to my house! The man who owns it is very nice I couldnt say anymore about him but a great owner and dedicated local businessman.

This Key food store is in a very good place . lot of family depends on this store.

Awesome place. This place is an awesome historical spot. Everyone here is helpful. God bless you guys. Such a great easy to get to location.

Wonderful business owner. Picked up my UPS package there. We need more small business success stories.

One of the last real corner stores in the central area. Stephano is a wonderful human being! Its a pleasure to support his store

A well stocked mom and pop shop that has everything you need when youve forgotten the in laws are due for dinner in 10 mins! Staff is present if not friendly they are knowledgeable.

My guy

So today I tried to go and pick up my package that I was made aware of by the UPS sticker that was on my mailbox. I was a bit confused by it because it had my moms last name on it rather than mine. Anyways, I go in to the store and I show the guy there the sticker and tell him I have a package here. I kind of was just rambling, but I was trying to ask him what the correct address they were trying to deliver it it too because it didnt show it on the sticker. He didnt seem like he understood, so I tried to explain it again and figure out if they were sending it to the correct address. He seems to get mad and starts talking down to me, asking me who I was talking to and why I was asking him how he got my address, saying this is a grocery store, saying he didnt have my address. I tried to explain he misunderstood, and I simply just wanted to make sure the package was coming to the right place because the last name was different. The guy goes off and starts yelling, hes cutting me off as Im trying to explain what I was simply trying to say, and just continues yelling at me. I obviously start to get upset and I ask him if thats how he treats people, he kept referencing what is it with you people so I got a bit of a racist vibe from him. I walked out the store, said a few curse words and said he should learn to listen clearly and treat ppl better. Then tried to call and ask him why he was yelling at me in the first place for asking a basic question and trying to pick up a package that is for me. He Screams at me on the phone and tells me that Im harassing him and hes going to call the police on me, I tell him that its kind of against the law to hold someones mail from them so if he wants to call the police Ill do it for him. He then says that I was never there, and that my package never came, and that Im harassing him and I better not come into his store. Obviously I call UPS and make a complaint, and doing so I figured out what why they use my mothers last name said of mine. I just dont get how people get away with treating people like this, over a misunderstanding. I wasnt attacking him in any way, I wasnt being rude, I was simply just trying to ask a question. Horrible service. And I dont think that should be the type of guy holding mail for people if he cant provide simple customer service and use active listening when someones trying to ask a simple question. Even if he doesnt work specifically for UPS and didnt know what i was asking, he could have simply just said i dont know.

This place is my nieghborhood stop and go mini Mart. Very nice owner. He buys my son stuff when we stop in sometimes. Its a warming place to go.
