Convenience Stores in Redwood City, CA

“Arco Gas Station Redwood City on Whipple and Veteran Ave.Has enough pumps to accommodate many vehicles at the same time. I don't think I've ever had to wait to access a pump.Open 24 Hrs I've never felt unsafe and the snacks, drinks Coffee are good, it could be a bit better with hot food, however earlier in the day may have that, by the time I get there it seems to be sparse. That goes for the pastries and or donuts which are not consistent but by chance I've been successful. The large fountain drinks are great and well priced I'm partial to the Horchata very good super big, but it is a high sugar drink and does affect my Sugar levels so be aware if that's an issue.The location is great as there are many excellent businesses nearby, such as The Goodnight Inn, an affordable comfortable motel with free excellent coffeeNext to the Inn is a really interesting and fun activity for artists or just to walk around collecting free fire wood.The large open space is a Feild of tree stumps large and small pieces of beautiful big chunks of tree trunks of various free remnant wood for fire wood as well as for making table tops and craft stuffGreat for an outdoor activity with kids, easy to pull over and have a great time looking and having a tactile experience. Just be careful as the terrain is walking over tree parts that vary in elevation, but it's a blast to trudge through the wood that has a great wood cut smell.Wow there so much more all around this Arco, I could go on for awhile until describing, I'm just going to mention some things at the top of my head but it really is a great area with Freeway access right there as well.Many excellent food, breakfast,shopping mini shopping mall craft stores $100 store,, AAA location, great Pawn Shop.That's all I have time for, shower not far from there are many other gems for grocery outlet, Trailer repair at Victor Bros. Fabulous trailer supplies. Outdoor and work clothes supplies at (I need to get back to add the name I just can't think of it, but it's a great outdoors store) they have great outdoor shoes, boots, hats, heavy duty clothing, camping surplus supplies. A bit higher priced, but worth what you will spend~high quality. Thrift store shopping at Savers is always a great time at for excellent affordable clothes and household shopping.Seafood, hamburgers, pizza all in the vicinity of Arco, so it is a great location and very close to the Kaiser Hospital, and Downtown Redwood City Area that has great Police Officers and houses many former Citizens now working out issues as inmates in the Sheriff's Department's Secure Corrections Dept. and Probation Offices, but you wouldn't even notice it at all, it is cloaked by so many other cool things that are in every direction~ Life can be so great!!!Randy Chavez”

“Cute and well managed small supermarket in a quite community in Redwood City. Great selections of everyday essentials and they sell also grab and go lunchables and snacks.”

“In that place there is liquor ? there is also Armando's notary office and it is also a jewelry store, and there is also Irma & Miguel Beauty Salón Los Visite Todos the notary office For an English Power Letter top liquor I went to buy some juices and lottery tickets, and with Irma and Miguel Beauty Salon I went to get my hair cut and dyed! I am happy and I recommend all three places of course! Greetings and Blessings ??? Your Friend Teresa Sánchez ?❤️??❤️?????️”

“This place is the best I’ve ever been to. I came in from out of town and needed to find a specific product and the gentleman that owns or runs the place was fantastic! He didn’t have the one I wanted so he called his partner and within 30 mins it was there! Thank you”

“Since this gas station is next to the restaurant, you need to wear your patience pants on. Folks may accidentally block the gas station when you're trying to fill up. Best prices in the Bay Area!”

“Satnam singh thank you for always giving me awesome customer service. 7eleven needs more hard working guys like you. Very respectful and helpful all the time. Thank you-Adrian Gonzalez Castro”

“Rite Aid at the Roosevelt plaza is a great place to shop for any item you can think of and getting your prescription medicines. Everyone is very polite and will help with a pleasant attitude. I have been a Rite Aid customer since it was Thriftys in the Woodside Plaza…very pleased this store was built after being several grocery stores.”

“Now it is under new owner and he is so nice
Also you can pay cash not like before
I will recommend this gas station
Before, everyone who worked there was very bad-tempered, only cards, the truth is, I stopped going but now there is a new owner and new workers, they are super attentive, they are very different. Good coffee and good service, good price. Thank you for taking good care of us as Latinos. Thanks for the change”

“Right off of the hwy 101. Nice staff associates. Lots of parking. Safe spot for quick needs and out of town travelers that are unsure of areas. I feel safe here as a female in the evening fyi.”

“It was a great experience when the CVS staff member went out of his way to help me save a heap of money on a very expensive prescription - nice job and it encourages customers to want to return.”

“My car was in much need of a wash but due to social distancing I needed a place where I could just drive through a machine, no contact with anyone and have the scrubby rollers do their thing. Fortunately, the Chevron off Whipple did the job! As I drove up, there were only about 3 cars in front of me. When I was next in line, I did have to slide my credit card and press the touch screen once to indicate I wanted the $9.00 wash. I keep purell in my car so I was able to wipe down my card and my hands. The wash took a few minutes then I was in my merry way home leaving all the 20 Lbs+ of car grime behind. It's not the most thorough of washes but my car is cleaner than it used to be. Thanks Chevron Car Wash!”

“Among the cheapest Chevron prices in the area, lots of pumps, air and propane, restrooms, a small convenience store. I wish they put cleaner in the windshield wiper squeegee water, but otherwise a good place to go.”

“This station has very reasonably priced gas and the people that work in the convenience store are very helpful, friendly and efficient. I was there last night and there was a young woman with a dog shouting at the employees--they asked her to take her dog out but she continued to terrorize them and make stupid excuses. If the sign says NO DOGS, it means NO DOGS.”

“Always so amazing always nice brings in things I need to get through the work week very convenient only thing is they do get some very long lines with only one cashier working which makes it hard”

“Yes the store is small, but I found everything I needed here from a good variety of icecream to kid toys to beer plus some house hold cleaning items! The cashier was great as well! He was very nice and made sure I found everything I needed ! & it was clean !! #redwoodcity !”

“I was able to Buy what I needed Coffee ☕ Hot Donuts, Orange and Guava Juice! Lottery Tikes and Pay with Credit Card! Ample Parking and good Customer Service! Come visit! Greetings and Blessings ??????❤️? ??‍♀️??”

“I always come here to get special craft drinks and snacks. The cashier is always nice and treats us like we are friends. They have convenient parking The only recommendation I have for them is to post their entire fridge menu on DoorDash, if possible, and publicize their menu more frequently.”

“We usually go to the Pharmacy. They have such a friendly staff, who are always nice, kind and helpful. Prescriptions are filled quickly and ready to pick up on time.”

“I had an interesting experience here today.First, some key observations:-NO PUBLIC RESTROOM-No carwash-small food shop with lots of stuff-very nice clerk-high gas pricesIt's mid-afternoon, and I'm driving down Woodside Rd with 1/4 tank of gas. Hmm, I better get gas before getting on Hwy 101-South to San Jose. I spot this Shell Station w/ a Food Shop, and decide to fill up. I carry the Shell gas card (with Premium status), and it gives me 5-cents off per gallon. While it's pumping away, I go into the food shop to checkout the snacks and drinks. OMG! No public restroom and that food shop is tight for space inside. But it's loaded with everything you could want. The usual stuff like: Snacks, drinks, sandwiches, candy, ice cream, etc. FACT: A hungry driver gets tired faster. So grab something to munch on while driving. The young lady working as cashier is very polite and patient with customers. This shop is small inside. When 3 customers come inside, you can barely turn around. I go out expecting the pump (# 3) to be finished. BUT NO! It stopped at the 5.5 gallon mark. Yikes, this is not good. I had to restart the pump, and then went back inside to find out why the pump stopped. The polite cashier told me pump #3 sometimes stops for no reason due to vibrations or shaking. Uh-okay, so the nozzle clicks off due to ground vibration. Okay, so more time to buy more junk food for the road. Gas prices are high here. On Feb 10, 2023, UL REG was $4.85 without discounts. Midgrade and Prem are over $5-gallon. But this station is on Woodside Road. A major roadway leading to freeways. Heavy traffic flow. People like me carry the gas cards of five major brands of gasoline. Shell is top tier gas, and today Shell got my business. This location has no carwash. There is enough room to maneuver pickup trucks, SUVs, and light trucks pulling trailers. Good luck when leaving, there's some tight turns around the islands. Located at Woodside Rd & Sequoia Ave, in Redwood City, CA. -”

“The business provides outstanding customer service and a diverse range of snacks and drinks. Concerns about being "scammed" due to a pre-authorized charge that surpasses the gas purchase amount are usually caused by the customer's credit history or account balance.”

“The 2111 Bay Road CVS is exceptionally organized and clean, the staff is professional and courteous, and the Pharmacy is responsive to customers’s prescription needs.”

“I find it awful that they had to move to a new location because they want to build more and more apartment buildings which are unnecessary where they used to be really great businesses, CVS had to move across Woodside Road because they're closing the shopping center where used to be, the new location has not opened yet, but I've moved the map so that it's already located at the new location, the new location from the outside looks stunning and more modern, newer and more beautiful, the big CVS logo, when entering the store with the heart and a photo of all employees is very nice touch”

“I drive for Lyft and end up far away from home (Concord). Today I ended up here in Redwood City after a very long day. I needed a bathroom break badly. I pulled into this Shell and saw they had restrooms out in the side. Walked up, no key needed, nice and clean. This is very convenient and I appreciate it.”

“This is the Chevron Gas Station at the corner of Veterans Blvd & Main Street in Redwood City, CA. It has a food mart, a carwash, a fairly spacious lot, and multiple islands (with one pump per island). It has a nice location on Veterans Blvd, just a few blocks from Kaiser Hospital. I was just here last week with my coworker. I got gas, some snacks and used the restroom. Sorry, I can't review the car wash. I'm guessing alot of the poor reviews are from car wash users. I have a tip for you: mechanical car washes that use rollers or brushes will leave swirls, streaks, and fine scratches on your paint. "Touchless car washes usually use harsh chemicals to clean your car, then use high pressure spraying to clean it off. If you're okay with all that, then there's no problem. The price of gas was about average for the SF Bay Area. I had to get mid-grade to offset some cheap gas I pumped the night before. I went inside to use the restroom. WOW! This restroom was super clean. It was like a showroom for bathroom fixtures. The food mart was clean too. It was well stocked with all the snacks, drinks, and candies. BTW, do you know why gas stations sell junk food? Very rarely do you see celery sticks and melon balls. Drivers are usually in a hurry. It's a fact that hungry drivers get tired faster, and you don't want to stop again do you? So it's a good idea to grab a drink and a snack for the road. Maybe something to wake you up. I'm sure you'll find something in this food mart. So, average gas prices, clean restroom, and well stocked food mart!Oh, and friendly service! The lady clerk was very friendly and joked about high prices on the snacks. Located between Jefferson & Main St, on Veterans Blvd.”

“Food stop market is the epitome of convience. It has a Good selection, the service and people are wonderful. Great place to go and it's always open. Support this local business.”
