Grants One Stop (Baba Tea) is a supermarket at 261 Selwyn Street in Marchwiel, Timaru, in South Canterbury. It has a 4.5 rating from 71 Google reviews. The name suggests a small neighbourhood store that also sells bubble tea.
A good neighbourhood supermarket or one-stop store stocks everyday groceries, snacks and drinks at clear prices and is handy when a larger supermarket is further away. A store with a bubble tea counter gives you a drink to go with your shop, so ask about flavours, sweetness levels and toppings, and tell staff about allergies, as milk, nuts and other ingredients can be involved. Regulars know that mid-morning and early afternoon are quieter, that checking use-by dates on fresh items is sensible, that bringing your own bag saves a charge and that small shops often stock things a big chain does not, such as local products and snacks. Check opening hours, as a corner store may open early and close at different times on weekends. Ask whether the shop takes cards.
For anyone in Marchwiel and Timaru, Grants One Stop on Selwyn Street is a local place for groceries and a bubble tea.
