More Than a Store.
Ant Solutions Grocery has been a neighborhood anchor on 135th Street for over 30 years—first as Henriquez Grocery by Miguel Henriquez and now Ant Solutions operated by his son, Anthony Henriquez. We’re still the same corner store that’s been serving the community since 1993, just with a fresh take. Anthony, born and raised right here in West Harlem, grew up on this very block and now carries on the legacy with a vision to make Ant Solutions feel like your local bodega, diner, and convenience store—all in one.
Step inside and you’ll find a packed two-aisle shop filled with your everyday essentials: from fresh plantains and ripe mangos to Pepsi, Welch’s, and Sunkist beverages in every size. We’ve got your favorite cold beers, chips, and cold drinks, plus hot and cold ham and cheese sandwiches made fresh to order at the back counter. And while we’re known for our regulars—neighbors who’ve been coming in for decades—we’re always looking to welcome new faces, including the City College students right across the street.
Our goal? To be the kind of place that’s part of your everyday routine—whether it’s your morning coffee, your lunch sandwich, your late-night snack run, or that quick stop for Advil after a long day. We’re working on expanding our food menu to include fresh salads and new specials, while offering online ordering and delivery to get to everyone.
At Ant Solutions, we don’t believe in overcomplicating things. We’re a small team with big heart—here to serve our community the way we always have: with consistency, honesty, and a little hustle. Whether you’re calling in for pickup, grabbing a soda on your walk home, or coming back for the third time this week, we’re glad you stopped by.
