911 Jak Plum Repair

This is my “go to” store for several reasons!
Tri-City Liquor is owned by great people -after being a customer here for a few years, I met the owner a couple of weeks ago by accident as he was in there while I was picking up my spirit/friend “Jim.” 😉 I told the owner I was a loyal customer and he thanked me kindly. The people who manage the liquor store have always been kind and helpful- every time I’ve been in there.
I like that when I need help they are happy to help WHEN I ask for help. I like that they don’t bother customers, but do let customers look around and “shop” FIRST and will help AFTER customer asks. There has only been 1 time (months ago) the clerk was distracted and I realized why, so I made my purchase quickly and left quickly- but seriously was worried about the clerk and even waited and watched outside from afar just in case I needed to be the eyewitness to call for help🥺
It was a late evening, dark outside, and 2 people (who looked and acted frightening to me!) came inside the store being loud, obnoxious, cussing, and more! The clerk helped me kindly AND kept his eyes on the 2 people at the same time- doing his job well! I asked if he would be alright, he said yes (for reasons I won’t mention) then I left quickly, said prayers for the clerk’s safety and thanked God for my safety when I was back in my vehicle. “IF” (?) the prices are a little higher that’s fine with me- I’m paying for “convenience” because I don’t have time to go to the bigger stores. Lots of selection, often have “sales” going on, kind people, small family business, very quick and convenient one-stop shop for gas and spirits, and my Kroger points can be used when I get gas! I won’t go anywhere else!

Decent selection. Friendly staff.

Well, I entered the establishment. Seeked out my whiskey of choice. Arrived at place of purchase. And nobody was in the entire liquor store!...
I waited and took nothing. Waited and a gentleman came from the back and assisted in my purchase.
The honor system. A great thing.
Kentucky gentleman. A great thing?...
