I Didn't Know That There Were So Many Stores Nearby!




As long as I have lived here in LaMott I have known that there were a few stores near the area. Usually I do my shopping at the Shoprite at the Cheltenham Mall but sometimes I will go to the Rite Aid at Broad and Cheltenham.

You see LaMott is mostly a residential area and the closest thing that we have to a store is the LaMott Cleaners that is located right across the street from the LaMott Community Center.

However there are some stores nearby where you can do some of your shopping.


First there are several stores right at the little mall location at Cheltenham Avenue and Penrose Ave.

There is of course a cleaners located here but there is also a pool hall that has been there for quite a while now. There is also a Domino's Pizza place that is now there where you can walk in or have your pizza delivered. There is also a type of 7-Eleven-ish store that is located there where you can buy beer, buy a lottery ticket and they even have an eat-in section where you can order and eat your food.

What I was surprised to find out is that there is also a bakery located there as well as a seafood place. I'm also told that at the far end of the mall is a Korean supermarket.

Next of course you have your Rite Aid that is located at Broad and Cheltenham Ave.

A little further down from there at Cheltenham Avenue and Old York Road is another Korean mall that has a number of smaller boutique-like stores and there is also a supermarket there as well!
