Ditmars Candy & Grocery

It’s not a candy store. Anyone who came here sniffing for candy better be ready for Snickers, M&Ms, Skittles, and the other usual suspects of mainstream candyland. But what is this jug of milk doing here? Or this row of sponges, toilet cleaner, and Little Debbie cookies? Oh yes, it’s a convenience store.
They do sell mini toiletries and have a good stock of drinks. It’s not the cleanest store, I often find random pieces of cardboard laying around and scuff marks all around a floor that looks like it hasn’t been mopped in years. As for it being a true grocer’s joint, I would beg to differ, and a lot. I’m usually just here for the lottery tickets, which apparently this place has produced a few small jackpot winners here and there. Beyond that, it’s always dead here. I realize it’s meant to be for the neighborhood, but I swear this place was always on the verge of closing just surprised it never happened.
The guy behind the counter is a very nice man however and tells me he gets flack all the time from people asking about the name. Sounds like a name change is in order.
