In coming up with the NexStore^sm concept, we realized that not everyone plans to have a full-blown fresh home-cooked meal from NexStore.

Some people just want the best in hors d'oeuvres or snacks.

Some want to cook for themselves and to surround their meals with impressive wines or beer, gourmet appetizers or pallet-altering sweets.

For others, it’s plain and simple: They might want to indulge in something as small as their favorite olive or a piece of chocolate that they’d normally have to travel to Italy or South America to find.

Voila!

We geniuses came up with the NexStore Specialty Items concept. It’s everything you’d ever want to fill your cupboards with—from specialty wines and beers, to spices, marinades, olives, chips, dips and chocolate.

What came first: The chip or dip?

While you’re pondering that, think about this: At NexStore we have more than 20 different kinds of dips. Sure, we have the traditional salsa. We also feature peach and mango dip; queso loco (a spicy cheese dip with peppers and when you dip your chip into the dip you see pieces of peppers and onions); cactus salsa (made from the cactus plant); and pineapple black bean dip.

Ordinary potato chips and crackers are great, but what about organic tortilla chips, gourmet Route 11-brand chips or pita chips? Now you’re talkin’ chips. NexStore is going to become famous (we haven’t been open long enough to be famous quite yet) for our homemade bagel chips.

If you’ve been to Greece, you know.

There’s something magical about the foods—right down to the olives, oils and almonds.

NexStore brings you a collection of those special foods. We have a rich assortment of Greek olives, including almond-stuffed olives and naturally cured hondroelia olives.

Our Mediterranean kalamata olive spreads, feta/sun dried tomato spreads, pimento stuffed green olives and organic spices add an international flair every time.

NexStore is your destination for those must-haves when cooking international dishes. We offer a selection of hot sauces and marinades for home cooking or to dip your poultry or beef. We also feature a wide range of Louisiana and Jamaican style sauces.

Our oils range from truffle oil to olive oils imported from Greece and Italy. And we offer aged vinaigrettes.

Beer lovers have to stand back and catch their breath when they see the variety of beers at NexStore.

Belgium beers are among our favorites. If you haven’t had the pleasure of drinking one of these hard-to-find, fine beers, you should definitely consider adding a six-pack to your NexStore shopping list.

If ale-style beers are your favorites, choose among our collection of brown ales, golden ales, Indian pale ales, porter ales and Trappist ales.

We also carry lager-style beers including American, Bach and Pilsner, as well as a wide range of nonalcoholic and low-carb beer selections.

We know we have to set ourselves apart from traditional food and liquor stores. So, we do.

You’ll find a rich array of traditional cabernets and sauvignons from the major regions of California, Australia and Europe.

You’ll also be amazed at our collection of off-the-beaten-path alternatives, including Barbaresco and Tuscan wines.

Think about gracing your table with one of these:

• Pinot Gris, from Oregon State
• Cabernet franc, from the Bordeaux area in France
• Malbec, from Argentina
• Carmenere, from Chili
• Rioja and Tempranillo wines from Spain
• Chenin Blanc, a kosher wine that comes from Israel or the South of France

Many of those who indulge in chocolate see it as something of a spiritual experience. If that’s the case, we’ll be seeing a lot of you.

We’re not talking candy bars; we’re talking dark and milk chocolates, from places known for their outstanding quality, like Belgium, Spain, France, Ecuador and Mexico.

NexStore is your destination for Lake Champlain, kosher chocolates made in the states. These prepackaged tempting morsels come in bars, individual pieces, truffles and assorted in gift boxes.

One of our goals is to have the biggest selection of sugar-free or reduced-sugar chocolates in the world. (OK, let’s make that South Florida.)

NexStore is one of the few South Florida retailers to offer sugar-free milk and dark chocolates by Guylian, one of the world’s best Belgium chocolates. Enjoy a Guylian delicacy with hazel nuts and orange infuse.

Chocolate lovers are sure to know the Lindt name. But did you know Lindt makes delicious, creamy reduced sugar chocolates? Now you know that you can find them at NexStore.

Chocolate snacks can be healthy. Consider our tasty chocolate bars with soy beans, instead of almonds or low carb smackers, also made out of soy. Just because it’s healthy, doesn’t mean it’s not exciting. Our low-carb snack bars come in decadent chocolate coconut almond or double fudge brownie.

Our chocolate chip, oatmeal and sugar cookies are sure to satisfy the traditional cookie craving. But if you’d rather sample an international assortment of famous cookie types, you’ll find NexStore’s cookie counter filled with boxes of cookies from Israel, Italy, France and other worldwide destinations.

Whether you let us do all your cooking or visit us only for exciting food and beverage accents, NexStore is here to meet your every eating whim.
