Milton Street Store & Lotto is a neighbourhood dairy at 136 Milton Street, in The Wood, Nelson. It is the kind of corner shop people use for the things they forgot on the big shopping trip: milk, bread, eggs, a paper, and a Lotto ticket on the way past. Dairies like this one carry the everyday basics in a small space, and their value is being open when the supermarkets are shut and being a short walk from home. The Lotto counter brings in a steady run of regulars, and for people living close by that is often the reason the shop stays busy. Because it sits on a residential street rather than a main road, most of its custom comes from the houses around it, so the shop works as a local stop rather than a destination. Its Google rating is 4.6.
