Explanation:
OK, I shall try one more time. We need to convey the meaning of a store in a close proximity/walking distance to/from our house. Convinient store does not do the job. It may or it may not be located next door, and no American will derive from "I got it at the c.s." that a person was right next to his house. In a proper context specifying "MY c.s." - yes, but when a term requires additional description to deliver the meaning, it can not be used in a generic context.

disagree  Tsogt Gombosuren: There is a kind of chain store ("Семь шагов") providing "convenience store" services. It is like 7-11, Beckers Milk, Spar, Londis, FamilyMart etc in USA, Europe, UK and other parts of the world. Please admit it. You are going a wrong way.

agree  Mikhail Kropotov: Let me support you on this, "comrade" :=] While "convenience store" MIGHT be a "neighborhood store", it just doesn't invoke the right image, because it's NOT the same thing! ADDED: Ya bet yer sweet bippy! (eww, screwed that up the first time =)

To All:
================================================================================
QUOTE:
Convenience stores are similar but not identical to Australian milk bars. Corner shops in the British Isles, still to be found today, were the pre-cursor to the modern European convenience store (e.g. Spar) in these countries. In the Canadian province of Quebec, dйpanneurs are often family-owned neighbourhood shops that serve similar purposes.
END QUOTE:

In other words every country has a different name for convenience store, but the concept is one.
The above reference did not include New Zealand version of convenience store. In New Zealand it is called \"dairy\".

Convenience Store:
================================================================================
UK - corner shop
US and Canada - neighborhood store
Australia - milk bar/corner shop
New Zealand - dairy

agree  Vladimir Chumak: or 'convenience shop'
4 mins
  -> Thanks a lot, Vladimir! :-)
neutral  Mikhail Kropotov: IMHO a convenience shop/store is a rather average-quality establishment (not to say "cheap and dirty") ADDED: I was a bit off the mark there. However, pls see Irene's comment.
3 hrs
  -> I don't get what you are talking about. Please see Wikipedia for the meaning of the convenience store. + Please see my note above.
neutral  Irene N: Why should I go to Wikipedia when I can go to a NYC conv. store while having permanent residence in Houston:-). Again, the register, not the meaning. My neighb. st. could be a huge supermarket or a small conv. store - whichever happens to be closer.
