Little grocery store. Used the term all time. I’m from New York.
I've haven't really seen it used much outside of New York. (And when I say New York, I mean NYC and the surrounding suburbs.) |

When I lived in Mass I called the Latino corner stores bodegas. In PR we call them colmados.
A colmado is primarily a local convenience store. It sells staples |

Live near Reading PA.
Yup, they are the shitty hispanic corner markets. Store exterior is plastered with ads promoting lottery tickets, tobacco / vaping, and EBT. Store merchandise is an odd mix of random ethic food brands and dollar store and aldi stuff being flipped at 100% markup. |

We call them "stores" around here. If its an ethic oriented store we add that. Ie: I went to the Asian store and got stuff to make egg rolls.

If you live in an area where the term is used (mostly NYC?) are they corporate or locally owned. Locally, & yes in the Bronx it's used often in language & store names. |

Used in the 5 boroughs of NYC to describe a small Spanish grocery store.
Could be a ligit store doing real business selling groceries and household items or a shady store also selling drugs or other illegal items. Cops use the term bogy. |

Quoted: Random thoughts. Do you use this term? If you do where do you live? Give a short description of what it is. If you live in an area where the term is used (mostly NYC?) are they corporate or locally owned. In my area they would mostly be called convenience store, gas station or by their name like 7-11 Any other similar terms? I learned the term from Sipowitz Half Baked - Bodegas Never used the term until I moved out here, I suppose its a regional thing. |

Used BODEGA in a conversation with my son. We were discussing shopping and supporting local inner city business. I said we have to use corporate chain grocery stores because there is not a bodega in our neighborhood.

You have to carry these to be called a bodega. I was in NYC during the blackout and they sold out of these things, thus losing their status as bodegas for a short while.
