Five Points convenience store slings solid Reubens, BLTs, wraps, more.
The "turkey special" menu item from Lil’ SamWitch Shop, an embedded deli inside Five Points neighborhood store Hi & Bye. Hi & Bye is more than a convenience store, it’s a neighborhood store. If you’ve resided in Huntsville’s Five Points neighborhood at some point the last few decades or spent much time there, you’re familiar with this gray wedge-shaped building at the corner of O’Shaughnessy Avenue and Windham Street.
The Hi & Bye at 127 O’Shaughnessy is officially Hi & Bye 2, a name that sounds like the title to a comedy movie sequel but actually means it was originally affiliated with the other Hi & Bye, the one on Clinton Avenue. Mohammad “Moe” Qutesh has owned the Hi & Bye on O’Shaughnessy since December 2004. Good natured and wiry framed, Qutesh is behind the counter most hours his store’s open.
Last fall, Hi & Bye added a small deli sandwich section to the store. Tucked into a corner to the right of the counter where customers check out, there’s a silver prep table, commercial slicer, toaster and panini press. It’s not uncommon for a convenience store to offer prepared sandwiches of various vintages and originations. But made-to-order sandwiches, like Hi & Bye does, not so much.They haven’t started a sandwich revolution here, but they make solid old-school deli fare.
Turns out, there was already a slicer in Hi & Bye’s back storage area. Coshatt purchased a deli prep station online and Qutesh lineup up purveyors for the proteins, produce, etc. Lanier says she got into the service industry because, “I’m a people person, I guess. I hate office work too.” Asked for the key to a better-than-OK deli sandwich, Lanier says, “fresh ingredients.”
