Alright, so I was in the mood for something to drink, you know, just your everyday kind of thirst. I wanted to find some good beverage stores nearby. So I fired up my phone and started my search. First, I typed in “consumer beverages near me” into the search bar.
The search results popped up a bunch of places, and I noticed a few names that kept coming up, like Consumer’s Beverages. Apparently, they’ve been around since 1948 and have like 18 stores in the area – that’s a lot! They sell everything from beer to seltzers, cider, and even ice.

Checking Out Consumer’s Beverages
I saw one location, 2205 George Urban Blvd in Depew, and I decided to check out their hours online. It looked like they were open from 9 am to 9 pm, Monday through Saturday. Another place, 1244 French Rd, also in Depew, had the same hours.
Then I dug a little deeper and found some customer reviews. One place called Consumer’s Beverages Harlem, at 1291 Harlem Rd in Buffalo, had over 160 reviews! People were saying good things, so that sounded promising.
Other Options
The search results also showed some places where you could get drinks delivered. One service mentioned delivery in as fast as an hour, and they even offered free delivery or pickup for your first order. That’s pretty convenient if you’re in a rush or just feeling lazy.
I also came across a spot called 3025 Sheridan Dr in Amherst. People were raving about their local craft beer selection. Seemed like a good place to check out if you’re into that kind of thing.
What to Expect
Based on what I found, it seems like most of these beverage stores have a pretty wide selection. Besides the usual stuff, they also carry non-alcoholic drinks, like Athletic Brewing, Beck’s, and even Blue Moon Belgian White. So there’s something for everyone, whether you’re looking for something boozy or not.
In the end, I ended up going to the Consumer’s Beverages on French Rd. It was close by, and the hours worked for me. They had a ton of stuff, and I grabbed a few things to try. All in all, it was a successful mission to quench my thirst!
