It has everything you need for unexpected weather and great gift shop. Right next to the ocean and all the other near downtown shops. Great atmosphere and helpful staff. read more

The place was fairly busy this weekend. For me it was uncomfortably tight inside between the touristy offerings and shoppers. Service was adequate, yet not quite friendly. We stopped in just to check out their fudge, but ended up walking out with a Christmas ornament and a scoop of ice cream as well. They definitely don't skimp on the ice cream...large single scoop. My husband said the fudge was good, although a tad sweet for his liking. read more

It's all about the fudge! But in addition to the fudge, they have the cutest Bandon nostalgia if you're looking for that special tourist gift. A nice selection outside of the normal cheap import stuff. Don't miss the beautiful art gallery hidden in the back for the finer treasures. Very fun store! read more

Ok, we just needed ice cream after dinner. Nice choices and you choose and pay before she serves. Delish... read more

This was a neat store- kind of an example of the ultimate Oregon Coast tourist shop. Housed in a rustic style wooden building, they have everything from coastal themed knick knacks and decor to the requisite tshirts, postcards, and other souvenirs. They also sell fudge and ice cream. My only complaint is that the older lady at the fudge counter was just all around rude. She greeted me with a curt "what do you want", seemed annoyed when I asked a simple question, and couldn't break a smile during our entire interaction. I work retail myself and understand that people have bad days, so whatever. I would've given a five star rating had it not been for this Debbie Downer. On the upside, the fudge was tasty. I got the peanut butter chocolate and Heath toffee flavors and would highly recommend both. I will return on another trip and update my review if I have a better experience at the fudge counter here. read more

This shop has it all! You walk in and to your right is the counter with ice cream, treats and home made fudge crafted right there on site. The fudge is spectacular and fresh made and the ice cream is Umpqua seasonal, smooth and creamy. They have managed to keep the fudge prices under control which only causes us to lose ours.... We picked up a couple good size bricks to bring home. There is a large selection of shirts, sweaters and hoodies. Towards the back of the store is a gallery featuring various wood carvings, sand windows, metal sculpture wall hangings and paintings. For those DIY types, you can also purchase slabs of burl to make your own end tables, stands, whatever strikes your creative streak. read more

I used to love this store and would bring my young children several times every summer. While the customer service has never been overly welcoming, I also never found them invasive. I went a few days ago with my mother and kids and was extremely disappointed in my experience and will not return. I even had my children put back several items we intended to purchase. The woman who "greeted" us continued to follow us around and even condescendingly told me to keep my kids away from a separate room- my kids were nowhere near that room and towards the front of the store with my mother. Their loss. I've always spent lots of money there, and would have that day. Unfortunately some in Bandon take a disdainful attitude towards those who actually keep their economy thriving. read more

This store become one of our favorites while visiting Bandon. I read some of the reviews from other fellow yelpers and I didn't have any issues with the staff like some. They offered assistance but that's about it. I got the vibe that the people in Bandon.. were kind and going at their own pace. I love all the "big foot" items in the store. Cracks me up and of course had to purchase a few items for myself and for Aunt. Cool keychains for purchase.. easy to pack in your suitcase. I did sample the fudge - peanut butter and chocolate.. pretty fresh and delicious. I purchased a "hoodie" with big foot on the front. I like the clothing selection.. something for everyone! We liked this store so much we visited twice while in Bandon. Thanks Big Wheel General Store. read more

We go here every summer for fun new sweatshirts. They have a huge selection of sweatshirts, t-shirts, hats, souvenirs and excellent fudge and other goodies! Very fair prices, and just a fun atmosphere. Good customer service, as well. read more

Thank you, Big Wheel, for not charging $3 a scoop for ice cream. Seriously, thank you. $3 seems to be the going rate for ice cream or a latte these days, so I appreciated that although this is a tourist shop right along the Port of Bandon, they weren't price gouging. Most of the store is dedicated to t-shirts and other tourist gear, but there is a fudge counter and about 20 varieties of Umpqua Ice Cream. Funny how Oregon has an ice cream dividing line almost like a dairy civil war (Tillamook to the North and Umpqua to the South). The staff was very friendly and efficient. Eager to offer samples and suggest you try new flavors. I recommend grabbing a cone and heading out to the pier to enjoy the view. read more

Big Wheel General Store - Convenience Stores Near Me - Bandon, Oregon

Lots of souvenirs, hats & clothes with Bandon & Oregon on them. I really enjoyed going through the room with beautiful displays of Myrtlwood & glass. They even had an area of rough cut wood you could buy to make your own pieces. But the homemade fudge looked so good, we had to get some. We tasted a few flavors & pick our favorites. We selected maple (me) & chocolate peanut butter (hubby). It's nice it comes in 1/4, 1/2 & 1 pound-so you can get a little or a lot! read more

This place has a huge variety of t shirts, hoodies , etc. I wish I would have found this first before I already purchased a hoodie at another store. They also have fudge and ice cream that is delicious and the scoops are huge! They carry a lot of souvenirs also. read more

Great selection of souvenirs, t-shirts, hats and gifts. Purchased a couple sweatshirts, coasters and fudge. Folks here have always been friendly. read more

Followed me my wife and 1yr old and kept asking to take our stuff to the front like we were going to steal. Literally behind us the entire time. Spent over 100 dollars and would have spent more. Won't be coming back read more

Very cute little gift shop with ice cream and fudge -- as well as the touristy stuff. I actually went in because I'd been driving along the coast for a couple of hours and seen 4 different signs/buildings advertising "myrtlewood" -- which I'd never heard of. So when we were eating at Tony's Crab Shadk, across the street, I saw they had a sign advertising myrlewood -- Their ice cream became husband's dessert -- and I found out what myrtlewood is. It's little wood carvings. Desk doo-dads. Wood jewelry. Lots of crosses. Not what I was expecting. With so many places selling and making it, I was thinking Adirondak chairs, or cradles, or garden gnomes or something. Ah well. The fudge was yummy, and husband finished his chocolate mint chip ice cream with a smile. The general store had a nice feel to it -- not too crowded with junk, but still lots to look at to pass the time. read more

I joined my daughter and wife here for deserts after dinner at the Crab Shack. We each had double scoops of the homemade ice cream and shared a large piece of fudge. The service was great, the staff was super friendly and the price was reasonable. read more

This was my first visit to Bandon and was impressed with the store selection. However, there was male employee that stalked me throughout the whole store. Having worked in loss prevention, being prior law enforcement and being a security guard I definitely understand the need to make sure no one steals anything. Now when there are 10 other people in the store he should have been checking them too. I was getting very annoyed on how obvious he was being. I did get a laugh though when I made him follow me in circles 4 times around the same rack of clothes! I guess I should have asked him of he wanted to hold all my items for me while I shopped. Maybe then he could be useful. read more

Bought my favorite cap here!! Gave it to my dad. I hope I can order another one!! Ice cream was phenomenal and customer service was awesome!

Always rude, every time I've been here. They act like you're putting them out when you dare to ask them for the fudge THEY SELL, and it's not that great anyway. I will never go here again, or bring any of my out of town friends or family members. read more

I do NOT like tourist shops, but if you are going to go to one on a trip down the Oregon Coast, go to this one, it's got the nicest and most helpful staff as well as good prices on all the touristy tshirts, mugs, sweatshirts and other stuff you could ever want. They also have super fudge and great priced ice cream, plus a gallery of nicer stuff in a separate area in the east end of the store. My Mom found two pretty tops, not touristy at all, but she got her fix and it was pretty painless for me and my Dad. read more

Love this place and always stop in to check out the Maritime Back Room, which is full of creative nautical themed art. Also to grab a little fudge. However, while walking to the back a gray fisherman hat flew off the shelf, went to pick it up and put it back while looking around for someone who may have caused this, there wasn't a living soul in sight? blah blah blah i bought the hat. Thanks Edgar the protective spirit? read more

Was not an enjoyable shopping experience, went into get sweatshirts and candy for family and friends. Instead we were stalked through out the store,by employees. Continuously asked the same question over and over. I spent over 20 years working retail I understand the need for security. But harassment is uncalled for, I finely just grabbed a t-shirt for my grandson. Even the cashier was rude when asking for my I.D. for my credit card. Went around the corner to a little gift shop and spent an hour visiting with the employees about the little town. Tourism pays your bills,might take that into consideration. Save your self the unpleasant experience go check out the little shops. read more

The 5 Stars is for the FUDGE. I challenge anyone to find a better fudge anywhere in this particular county. Good luck trying, because I've searched and compared high and low, and at every price point and at every fancy or down-to-earth mom & pops from Myrtle Point to North Bend. Hands down, this is the place for gift-worthy fudge, my friends. read more

Very friendly person helped us to our treats. Super prices on Umpqua ice cream compared to other places we've tried -- 2 scoops for only $2.75. Their fudge was also reasonably priced in that you could buy just 1/4 pound (plenty for at least 4 servings) for $3.75. I'm not a fudge connoisseur, but it sure tasted good to me. read more

One of the older staff members harassed me about my service dog. I was close to the door and still she harassed me as I was walking out. This is not a crippled friendly store. And don't even think about bringing in a seizure dog. read more

I have been shopping here for decades .. We just visited there as we have all these years .. However the last 2 times we have come there the store employees stare at you and follow you around the store .. The glaring was very unprofessional and it is too bad that it is so unfriendly these days .. They treated me like I was a vagrant that was going to rob them blind and it was offensive .. read more

Not only do they make their fudge and sell ice cream but the selection of gifts or sweatshirts if fantastic!! And now along with their regular favors of fudge they added 4 new ones; my favorite over rocky road is now Cappincino, Butterfinger, Rootbeer - remember those hard candy barrel shape? yep, and Cherry Cordial!! The sales people are great and have such wonderful stories to share in the gallery as well as helpful! Been four years running in visiting one of my favorite stores in Bandon by the Sea! read more

Came in with my service dog and was shopping with family when 2 of the female employees came up to me and were rude, and told me i had to leave because no animals were allowed in the store including service animals. I politely let them know that they couldnt not turn anyone away who has a service animal, because they could get sued for it. Also the sign saying no animals were allowed was from 2011 and in 2014 the laws changed. Wouldn't recommend coming to this store they are rude and don't know the laws. They don't even deserve the 1 star im giving them. read more

I like the store, but the Owner, Don is a very rude man. He talks down to his employees, and is always more concerned with his profits than people. As a former employee, i know first hand that, Don is over bearing, i had customers complain to me about him. Do yourself a huge favor....Dont shop there. Other places in old town Bandon are much better, cheaper and the service is good too. read more

Went here to get fudge. They also have "touristy" stuff. Fudge was decent! I had 1/4 pound divinity, and 1/4 pound of vanilla/chocolate swirl. read more

This place had great fudge and the people working were very nice :)

Don't even bother going to this place. Everything there is overpriced, the staff isn't friendly and the fudge sucks.

A must stop when we visit Bandon. We always stop both for the great Umpqua ice cream and the awesome fudge. They have one of the best varieties of fudge I have seen. It is also a neat place to shop for souvineers. Make sure you stop here if you are in town. read more

I couldn't move 3ft in any direction without the employees starting at me. (Like their was an employee everywhere in that already crowed store) I was having a conversation with someone and the employee was staring at me nonstop. I don't if this employee behavior is to prevent theft or to create good customers service. Sadly I left without buying the sweater I wanted and I can't find it online. read more

My favorite place in Bandon! The fudge is awesome and they always have good prices on souvenir sweatshirts.

Great Store but boy do they make you feel like a criminal and they have 0 customer service and common sense. Lots of nice doo dads and clothing that is reasonably priced. However they had a special on some nice jackets. $32.95 ea or 2 for $55. But if you want 3 jackets you pay full price for the 3rd. How stupid is that? Should be the 27.50 for the 3rd also. I think the worst thing tho is trying to check out. Apparently the fudge and ice cream are quite good so the lines can get quite long. 2 cashiers taking the ice cream and fudge orders alongside ringing up the general merchandise orders. Waited 20 minutes. Terrible service. At least have a register SOMEWHERE ( maybe by the guy that guards the front door) for merchandise ring ups only. They are making money hand over fist so maybe they could care less how they treat you. They got your money so next... read more

I love the store because it has excellent souvenir items. I have had very bad experiences with the older ladies who work/manage the store. Last weekend I went in to get my favorite fudge flavor. I have spent a lot of money in there but they dont know that. Anyways on the napkin holder it says there is a PREFERRED $10 minimum for use of card. I wanted $5 worth of fudge. The lady declined the sale. I will never spend money here again. Cranberry Sweets do not have a card minimum, they appreciate your business, and they are just around the corner. read more

Excellent fudge. My wife loved the peanut butter chocolate fudge and I loved the original. Very nice and helpful staff as well.

My family and I stopped here while driving through town and we came in to buy my son an ice cream cone. We went to pay for it ($2) and the clerk stated that they didn't take cards for purchases less than $10 and pointed at a sign (which I admit was clearly visible, but had escaped our notice) that said "CREDIT CARDS... $10 PREFERRED MINIMUM". Our son had already begun to eat. The clerk told us that there was an ATM machine. When we investigated we found that the fee for its use was $3. I then went back to the clerk and asked her what she thought the word "preferred" meant, because to me it clearly indicated that they would prefer you to keep your credit card purchases above $10, but that that was not mandatory. At this point another clerk stepped in and said that that was the policy. My wife offered to pay a 50 cent or even a dollar surcharge voluntarily, to which the clerk responded that the owner would not allow that and that he would end up paying more to use the credit card than the price of the ice cream itself (I doubt that her surcharge price quote was accurate). She then offered to just buy it for us (which is one of the reasons I'm not giving the place only one star), but my wife didn't feel comfortable doing that (I felt fine about it) so instead we bought another item to bring it up to $10. We walked out feeling as if we had suffered a tourist trap. They should change the sign to say "Minimum Credit Card Charge $10". Or just charge a reasonable surcharge. read more

Nice place for snacks and gifts. Affordable and lots to choose from! I bought two beautiful pieces of unfinished Redwood and Maple to incorporate in a small home project in memory of our trip. read more
