/Sounds like "ahl" (as in "art") + "mah" (as in "mark") + "SEHN" (as in "set")/
A neighborhood corner store in Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay that sells groceries and everyday essentials. The owner usually knows you by name, may let you buy on credit until payday, and always has what you need. Think of it as the Southern Cone version of a bodega or corner shop.
“Anda al almacén a comprar pan, que ya no queda.”
“Go grab some bread from the corner store, we're all out.”
“El almacén de don José tiene los mejores precios del barrio.”
“Don José's store has the best prices in the neighborhood.”
