I went to this store on Thursday, March 28. It is located on Rand Avenue, right off (north of) E…read more William St.. It is near Jacksons Food Stores at the corner of Rand and E. William, and across from the Silver State Inn and GMG Foreign Auto Services.
It is located in Suite 14, but they also rent Suite 12, next to it, which houses clothing for men, women, and children, mainly t-shirts and jeans. The clothing part was roped off when I came in, but the employee opened it for me so I could look around. They also store some food items there, like soda.
The convenience store part is small. They don't have gas, nor do they have any Slurpees/Icees, hot ready-to-eat foods, soda dispensers, coffee, or restrooms, like most convenience stores do, but there is an ATM, candy, refrigerated beverages, cigarettes, beer, and liquor. There is also a propane exchange there.
The employee told me they had been around for 14 years or so. She was polite and wanted to help.
I felt kind of awkward, as I was the only one in the store and was just looking around and digging for information. But I did observe people come and go from my car, usually to buy beer.
I tried calling the phone number I found online, but there was no answer, and then a fax machine tone. They have no website. I didn't see any hours posted, but Google days they are open from 8 AM to 10 PM, seven days a week, but Google also listed an out-of-service phone number and wrong zip code (which I corrected), so who knows. Many other websites like YellowPages or Mapquest say they are in Suite 13, but there is not Suite 13 in that plaza.
This is small store, off the beaten path, so they are not going to attract the crowd and passers-by that the major convenience stores do. Yet I suspect they satisfy the local needs of many of the people in the area who know of its existence.
I give them four stars, only because they do not have a bigger social media and web presence which would help them attract customers. And hours and a phone number were not posted.
