Apparently owned by Marc Emery - a Vancouver demigod if ever there was one - 420 Convenience may be the best-named business in town. Located smack-dab in the middle of Vancouver's Green Mile (okay, I just made that up) across from the New Amsterdam Cafe and BC's Marijuana Party headquarters and amidst several other seeds n/ herbal supply shops, the 420 is the place on this block to get your munchies.
They have all the regular stuff of a normal convenience store, such as chips, choco bars, and criminally overpriced sundries, plus rolling papers and lighters. The "munchies" are actually quite nice, with salads, sandwiches and even frosted cupcakes. Frosting. Mmm. The tables and chairs out front are comfortable, too.
I think it's really cool to have a welcoming convenience store in this neighbourhood for all the students at nearby VCC and Vancouver Film School, because there aren't a lot of food-store options nearby that don't double as pawn shops.
