  This neighborhood corner store presents itself as a warm and welcoming family owned shop - when in reality it is the exact opposite. I have lived right next door to the shop for two years and have had nothing, but negative interactions and confrontations. Despite having a great selection of beer, the food and snacks are way over priced ( not to mention most items on sale for consumption are months past its expiration date ), all frozen items are guaranteed to be freezer burned. And that is just on the business side of all of it. I have received nothing, but bullying and intimidation from not only the owner, but his family who help run the shop. For two years I have parked in the same spot that is clearly on my property (a definite marked driveway that borders the asphalt where the shops property/ parking ends). I pay good money every month to not only park in my own driveway, but have the confidence in the safety of my own neighborhood let alone my next door neighbors. Not only am I worried about my own personal safety including that of my neighbors, but the safety of our own personal property. The owner, Yonny, has warned us to more than once to "be on the look out" and "be safe" as if we had something to watch our backs over. Our cars have been subjected to the most harassment including notes left on our cars, threatening to get authorities involved, and has once even tried to force his way into my neighbors car while she was sitting parked. (we have saved the notes and have video footage of the attempt forced entry) He also pounded on my front door during the morning to get me to move a vehicle. I refuse to spend another penny on expired food and poor morale. I hope you do as well.

  My family and I, who have lived in the neighborhood for over twenty five years, absolutely love the Frog Pond. The service is outstanding and it is great to be to patronize a local, family-owned, business. The Frog Pond has been around in this neighborhood for years prior to our arrival. We appreciate having a store within walking distance to grab necessary items. To those leaving negative reviews about the pricing and/or selection - it is not a big store, is family owned, and caters mostly to the neighborhood. If you want cigarettes cheaper - go to a smoke shop. If you want food that is right off the delivery truck - go to Safeway, it is less than a mile up the road. This business is perfect for what it is - the local, friendly, neighborhood convenience store! You should expect to pay a bit more, and have less of a selection, for such an amazing luxury.
