Varnum Market

I live right down the street from this place, so I come here often. I come here to buy soda, candy and ice cream. The inside is a little bit messy, but the people who work there are nice.

The people who own the Varnum Market are so kind. This place has been around forever and I would always run down the street as a child to get candy. The presentation is lacking but what can you do?! It’s reliable, fast, and easy!

This place totally gives me the creeps, but sometimes I find the need to stop by for an item that a convenient store sells just because it is so close to me. Many of their items are extremely marked up though, but I guess they have the luxury of doing that. I don’t feel like its very clean with boxes and crates stacked everywhere. Usually dust on shelf items as well. There are typically a few regulars hanging out scratching away in tickets or maybe playing keno. Tons of candy to select from.
CASH ONLY! Another business that could benefit from joining us in 2013 and investing in a credit card machine.

I couldn’t say it any better than Chris M, so I’ll just second his review!
Today 2÷10÷11 they still have the 2 for $ 3.00 on coke products!

Is this place for real? I mean, it is half junkyard, half store. Looking for soda? Take a right at the pile of computer monitors and busted TVs (a honest to goodness pile), watch out for the Keno degenerates staring at the screens like junkies and then you are there.
For god’s sake, would it kill the homeless looking bearded dude to sweep this place up a little?! Doesn’t Pawtucketville deserve something a «little» nicer than this third world dump?!

Everyone needs a local corner store that takes cash only, sells smokes and lottery tickets, and has keno going on.
I go here to pick up my 2-​liters of soda, taking advantage of their 2 for $ 3. It’s simple, it’s close, and it saves me from crossing the bridge. I don’t think it’s ‘cheap’ but its a lot cheaper than the places around me, and your every day corner store, which can sell a 2-​liter for up to $ 2.50.
Same woman is working there every time i’m in there so i’ll assume owner, or wife of owner. She’s friendly! I like that. They have freezers which seem to have a mix bag of what’s in there. Sometimes it looks like someone went and did their grocery shopping and is storing it in the shop (though it is a convenience mart, so maybe that stuff is for sale?)
Good, local, one stop shop. They have your basics, and will keep you from crossing the river! (Also next to spartan’s pizza, a personal fave)
