Levant Corner Store (LCS)

Absolutely the BEST family owned and operated community store around. From the pizza to the whoopie pies to the chinchillas* to the friendly, hilarious staff (looking at you, Jamie!) to the Mega Shakes (yeah, you heard me right—MEGA SHAKES!), LCS has a little bit of everything!

*No chinchillas were harmed in the making of this review and may or may not actually be available for purchase at this location. Be sure to stop in today for availability. Stay fun and keep smiling, LCS!

Do you know how many times this corner store has saved me from running out of gas on my way home? Yes, I’m THAT person that pushes my limit, and “I can make it a couple more days....” No, no you can’t..... The LCS is a one-stop-shop. Fuel, propane, adult beverages, they make our suppers for us, they stock milk for tomorrow mornings cereal, baking ingredients, the hamburger/hot dog buns for Saturday’s bbq that the ones in your cupboard have changed a different color. One time I randomly needed tomato paste, THEY HAD IT! The pizza? My family drives down from Houlton and ONLY requests LCS pizza! Everything you need in one place to save you the 25-30 minute trip to the heart of Bangor, it’s here. I’m so thankful for LCS and for it being so handy for us. We love the J & J crew, their friendly staff, up to date renovations, cleanliness and of course the big ole smiles on the regulars I’m so proud of this booming store!

As a “Mainer” who has lived in the area for nearly my entire 40 years of life, and who has made the trip down Union Street and through Levant hundreds (probably thousands) of times, I have never had a bad experience in this store. For one, always have plenty of options for a family on the road. Two, the staff is friendly, and of course, the owners are hilarious and fun, and their frequent shenanigans are guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Lastly, as for their food - again - never had a bad experience. I have yet to try one of their crazy ice cream concoctions, but they look insanely good. Do yourself a favor and pay attention to what they’re up to - you might get lucky and see Jason in his He-Man suit! 😆♥️
