Tiny stores which typically sell some mix of grocery items, snack foods & (occasionally) prepared food times such as sandwiches, often compensating for a smaller selection and slightly higher prices through the convenience factor of their accessible near-residential locations (aka, the place you go when you just need to run out for some milk or a banana) are called:
