Does Anyone Remember the Convenience Store on the Side of Tiger Stadium?

Everyone remembers the dorms that were once under the stadium, but I remember a small convenience store on either the South side or the East side of the Stadium. It wasn't much more than snacks, drinks, and maybe packs of cigarettes. By the time I got to LSU in the early 90's, they dorms were abandoned, but students could still get inside and use the bathrooms. The water was still running. I'd make a quick bathroom stop, then grab a Coke from that store on my way to class.
ETA: Think I found remnants of it near Gate 9. Here's a Google street view of the entrance area.
Thanks for the help alterego55

Northgate Seafood and Liquor on Nicholson a couple blocks away? Pretty sure I saw Curley Hallman buy a pack of Zig-Zags there once.

I just did a Google street view. I'm 99% sure that's it right outside of Gate 9 by the stairs that are blocked off.

Yep, it was attached to the laundromat. When I lived in Hatcher Hall, that’s where residents could go wash clothes and grab some snacks (late 1980’s)

How is that not a thing anymore? That could have been renovated and an absolute premium charged for football weekend condo rentals. A condo rental and two parking passes next to them? Think of what a revenue stream that could have been.

Thought this was about the Hungry Tiger or whatever it was called that was off the street at the bottom of the hill across from Mike’s cage

The guy that ran the place was mostly blind. He was a good dude that trusted you with the money you gave him.
