We jump into the beautiful small town of Clinton, New Jersey, which has been rated both the quaintest town in New Jersey and one of the best places to live in the state. We're going to be seeing four stores here in town, starting with this small Mexican store in the middle of town. Located (as you can see in the first picture) in some of what was likely a house -- and in fact, we can see some clear signs on the interior that this space was previously residential or at least something else.
A friend took these pictures for me when he was in Clinton for another event and thought I'd be interested. Well, of course I was! This looks like an interesting little place. Nice flooring!
A closeup of some of the shelving. We have a second store in Clinton today just to the east of town, which you can check out here. Tomorrow, we have an in-depth look at two former supermarkets east of town on Grocery Archaeology!
