Our Story

More Than a Store —
Part of the Block

L&M Variety Store has stood on South 5th Street as a quiet anchor for the neighborhood — a place where regulars know your name and your usual order. We started as a simple corner market with a dream: to give our community a place that feels both dependable and welcoming.

Today, we carry the staples your household relies on — from pantry essentials and fresh produce to household goods and snacks — alongside a rotating selection of freshly baked breads, pastries, and specialty items that you won't find anywhere else on the block.

We believe a neighborhood market should be the kind of place where you can grab dinner ingredients on your way home and still have time for a friendly conversation. That's the standard we hold ourselves to, every single day.

What We Offer

From Our Oven
& Our Shelves

Everything from your morning loaf to your weekly grocery run — all under one roof, all with the care you'd expect from your neighborhood market.

Fresh Bakery

Bread, rolls, pastries, and specialty baked goods made fresh each morning. If it's on our shelf, it's from today's batch.

Fresh Produce

Seasonal fruits and vegetables, sourced for quality and flavor. We rotate our selection so you always get the best the season has to offer.

Pantry Staples

Pasta, rice, canned goods, cooking oils, spices, and all the everyday essentials your kitchen needs. No need to make three stops.

Refrigerated dairy and dairy alternatives

Dairy & Refrigerated

Milk, eggs, cheese, yogurt, and cold-cut options — kept fresh and well-stocked so your fridge never runs empty.

Beverages & Snacks

Coffee, tea, juices, sodas, and a curated selection of snacks. Whether you need a morning pick-me-up or something for the road.

Household supplies and cleaning products

Household Essentials

Cleaning supplies, paper goods, and other household necessities — because life runs smoother when you don't have to drive across town for them.

Why Our Neighbors Choose Us

The Difference
Is in the Details

Right in Your Neighborhood

We're on South 5th Street, where you can walk in without a car. No parking garage, no traffic — just a quick stop on your way home.

A Market That Feels Like Home

We don't rush you through the aisles. Take your time, browse at your pace, and know that someone will greet you by name.

Fresh Every Day

Our bakery items arrive each morning. If it's sitting on the shelf, it's because we believe it's still good — not because it's been there since Tuesday.

Fair Prices, Always

We price our goods so your family can stretch a dollar further. Quality shouldn't require a premium — that's just not how we do business.

Curated, Not Cluttered

We don't fill our shelves just to fill them. Every product earns its place by being something our customers actually want and use.

Community First

We're not a chain. We're your neighbors. When the neighborhood thrives, we thrive — and that's the kind of loyalty we give in return.
