“This is a good stop for Gatorade and a snack. The only thing missing was the 7-Eleven branded Crispy Rice Treats (their version of Rice Krispy Treats. The people working are friendly. No issues.”
“Hey guys! Check out Pyramid Fine Wine and Spirits! Make sure you see Laura. She keeps my beer of choice on hand every time!! If you do decide to stop by, tell her I sent you… enjoy.”
“Friendly staff! Gas is always cheaper than the next closest places along the way. Bonus: Drive-thru or indoor Mexican food is pretty good. Can't go wrong with the chimichanga meal!”
“I like this place. It's clean. Usually has good deals on energy drinks but mostly i love their coffee. Best coffee a gas station has ever offered. I would take their coffee over Starbucks”
“Cheap gas, they have a mini restaurant inside, got the good stuff and accepts ebt. This spot is a hidden gem that I would not have found if I wasn't absolutely about to run outta gas. Love it. Will be back. I wanna try their quesadillas.”
“Every kind of commodity besides alcohol which caters to local apartment & neighborhood residents. Small gambling area, sometimes you get lucky . Friendly help, clean & well stocked!?”
“Great neighborhood convenience store/gas station. The family who runs it is honest and friendly. They've got most of the basics when you suddenly realize you ran out and quickly "need" more: milk, eggs, bacon, beer, wine, ice cream, snacks, etc. To all the reviewers who whine about them charging above average prices: yes, you are right, things are a bit more expensive here than at the Walmart where you normally shop. You are paying a premium for the convenience of having the item in your neighborhood, a 2 minute walk (or 30 second drive) from your living room. If you want to save a dollar, feel free to drive down Kietzke in rush hour traffic, walk thru thru the huge parking lot of your favorite grocery store, and wait in line at a cash register behind some people with carts full of groceries. Or, if you want it quick and easy in your own 'hood, prepare to pay a buck or two more, go here and get it NOW.”
“Great place to fuel up on gas, propane, and food. It's the general convenience store selection but the staff here is what makes this one stand out. The clerks are well trained and observant so there is rarely a line to pay and they're friendly too! Clean rest rooms and store with a few slot machines in the corner, great place to get your propane tank re-filled, you really can't ask for anything more!”
“Under new management since 2022. Great community store for North Sun Valley. They deliver pizza now! The family is involved with the community and have a small non-profit ranch. This is a community store and the more you go, the more you will be known.”
“That's pretty much my go-to convenience store for the past 3 years since I moved and they got pretty much everything you need in there including slot machines and even an adult video section and he sells everything from alcohol to souvenirs to frozen pizzas and whatever else you could want and the owners are cool”
“The people who run it are always so nice. The store is clean and has many products that people in the neighborhood may need. Support your small businesses and give them business cos they are truly a place for The People.”
“I'm a senior,growing up my mom only used union 76 in California. 55 years later '76 is the only gas my baby drink??. The one on Mill St has the best staff. I really miss Chris, she was the best.RIP Chris. Hey bring back the antenna ball.”
“Pulled in had to have a cold drinks we both played a lil tap button slot. We both had nice change & the attendant is quite appreciative in the facts he knew as well as the niceties delivered.”
“They have Oreo chex muddy buddy. There are also deals sometimes on a table between $1-3. Nothing fancy, but a quick snack and a drink. The cashiers are friendly. Good place to stop.”
“Great visit to this location. They had a table with discounted beverages to go with pretty decent hot food and drinks including my favorite, frazil. The customer service was friendly and efficient. I highly recommend this location”
“Located in a cute, clean residential neighborhood next to Coffeebar. I took a second look when I walked in to see slot machines and remembered I’m no longer in CA. Then I went straight to the hot dog and roller section to see what flavors they have available. Monterey Jack chicken is my favorite and it’s always on rotation. Taco and cheese and Pepperoni are the rare ones.”
“Such a clean and organized store with all the chips, drinks, snacks, and groceries you could think of. The employees are super friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend!!”
“This meat shop is great I came here because I saw Serena's facebook and she's always at this meat shop I wanted to try the meat myself and I can confirm it is indeed delicious thank you Serena for recommending this place and I recommend people to come here 10/10”
“I am a frequent customer here, and the old bald white cashier they just hired wouldn't sell me the pack of American spirit cigarettes I always get there. I am well known by the owner there. I went and spoke to the owner about 15 minutes later and the cashier was set straight real quick! Im very grateful”
“Luv the staff. They make me laugh every time I go in to shop. It’s clean well stocked. Busy. But they go up and above with their customer service. The owner and his family are amazing people who are there giving it that personal touch. And you can see the difference on n their store. Thanks for making a difference in our community.”
“Well stocked and priced. Incredibly helpful and friendly staff. Roxy is wonderful - professional, friendly, very resourceful. We had car issues. Roxy came to the rescue with various recommendations and resources.”
“I don't know why nobody has ever reviewed this lil grocery store but I'm here to be the first. I actually think the name is V Food mart. Kathy, the extremely friendly clerk and chef whipped up the most yummy Jojos potatoes ( their take on a French fry but way better) super soft and pillowy on the inside and SUPER crispy and deliciously seasoned. She also suggested we try the Apple pie and it was the best decision! This place was small but they had everything I needed. Fresh food, coffee & snacks!”
“The most Wonderful family owns and operates this terrific market. Wide variety, fair pricing, super cold beverages, and if you want, great conversations. I l9ve this market and go here over any and all similar shops.”
“Pretty cool little store pretty much the owners will get you anything that you desire all you have to do is ask they are so eager to get your business and keep it they will basically do anything for you as a customer to take care of you to make sure that you come back pretty damn awesome if you ask me.”
“The people that work here are terrific and the customer service is superb. Prices are great for a downtown location, and they carry any essential item you need! Highly recommend over other convenience stores in the area. 5/5 :)”
“I received exemplary customer service from the very helpful clerk who assisted me in their deli and went in the back stockroom to look for inventory on a breakfast sandwich that was not on the shelf. I so appreciated her time and help that she gave me.”

“Decent convenience store conveniently located right across from the three Caesars hotel / casinos. You can grab items to stock your hotel room at slightly high convenience store prices instead of outrageously insanely high hotel / mini bar prices. Shelves were well-stocked with snacks and drinks and those sorts of items you might want. Lots of alcohol for sale but I didn't pay attention to what bottles exactly since that's not what I was shopping for. Like all of Reno these days it was pretty empty of customers, so check out was quick and easy. Did you charge 75 cents fee for credit card use but no fee for debit card or cash. This fee was very well marked and not a surprise.”
“Been shopping there for decades and always good customer service, good groceries, good beer, wine, wine coolers and liquor and nice kind employees who also constantly look after my mom and makes sure she gets help she needs and always inform me about her health”
