Smile idiomatic traslation

Is there an idiomatic Spanish phrase to refer to a small, neighborhood, "Mom and Pop" convenience store- the kind of place kids might hang out with friends and buy sodas and snacks? This would be a small,privately owned store that sells some grocery items and basic household needs.

Thanks!

I am not sure if it implies the same idea, but here are some expressions I found:

negocio familiar
tienda de toda la vida
tiendita de la esquina
tiendita

Hope it helps!

También puede ser ´quiosco´, that´s the way we call these small places in neiboorhoods, where you can get a soda, a snack or batteries! and in neiboorhoods, they are usually run by the members of the family...

Hello jml0809!

I suggest you open a new thread for your question. More people will see it that way.

Welcome to the forum!
