Patel is located on Whaley street by Saga Columbia apartment complex. When it comes to personalized service, Patel is number one. The staff always ask how you are and even remember your name after a while. There are always willing to help and very friendly! If you are looking for a convenience store near University of South Carolina campus, I highly recommend this one!

I walked in parched on a hot day looking for a drink. I walked around looking, then there comes Mr Patel. He approaches me and recommends one of the best drinks I’ve ever had. Everytime I walk in now, I’m greeted with the nicest man alive and his lovely wife.
