No clue how anyone could rate this place less than 5 stars, because I don't know what I would do without it! Yes, you are paying more than you would at a grocery store - that's the price of convenience and it's a small general store, not a massive chain. However, everything there is high quality and it's saved me so many times from having to go all the way into town for something we needed for dinner. I also can't say enough about the ice cream they have, especially the sherbert! I believe it comes from Gunthers in Sacramento and it is seriously some of the best ice cream I've ever had. Everyone who works there has been friendly and helpful, the store is always clean and well stocked, and I hope it continues to succeed in town. I come in here no less than a few times a week, whether for a drink, ice cream, a to-go sandwich, or grocery items, and have never had an issue. I'm glad they're selling shirts and more merch now too, because it really is a Glenshire staple. read more

I drive by this place two or three times a week when I'm up in Truckee. I decided to stop and see what kind of stuff they had for lunch. First bonus perk, check in you get a free coffee or a scoop of ice cream. I decided to go for coffee because it's freezing, and 10:30 AM lol. I was greeted as I walked in by Bobby. A genuinely nice personable guy. I showed him the coupon for free coffee, and then we started talking about the market. He said he really enjoyed it here. It is just like one of those old neighborhood markets that I had when I was growing up. Nice deli section, meat section, pretty much all around mom and Pop style grocery store. Really enjoyed my visit here, and want to come back and try the Gunthers ice cream. read more

See all

Our kids live close by, and whenever we visit Truckee, we usually end up patronizing this store. It's quite a conglomeration of different merchandise. Today, we purchased various types of sandwiches and liquid refreshment. Later on we came back for beer and ice cream. Not necessarily in that order. Don't forget to use the Yelp check-in offer for a free ice cream cone. Today, I got mint chocolate chip. The people here are always really friendly and helpful. It's a popular spot with the locals. Yes, it's more expensive then Kmart, but it's still a good option, and we almost always can find what we need here. read more

I stopped by the Glenshire General Store for beer and ice cream (part of a well balanced dinner) to accompany the three pizzas we picked up next door (Glenshire Pizza - another five stars). Glenshire is off the beaten path but that doesn't mean they don't carry variety. I was focused on beer and ice cream so I'll save my comments to those particular items. I spotted the Ben and Jerry's and was about to grab a couple of pints when I noticed two local brands, Strauss and Tahoe Creamery. I'm one to always try the local fair and it was a great choice. Phenomenal organic ice cream (mint chip, vanilla and caramel toffee). The beer selection was also great. All the major brands were represented but just as many, if not more, local brews. Too many to call them out by name but I loved the stout (S'mores?) that I purchased. Glenshire General Store may be our of the way but it was sure a convenient and worthy stop for me. read more

Thank you for being the best neighbourhood store ever. Toy section! Pet food! All the ice pops! sandwiches! It's the best curated store and everyone is so friendly and helpful. So lucky to have it in our neighbourhood! read more

I deliver packages in Glenshire sometimes. On hot days, I often ask restaurants for a cup of ice to cool down my water (no ac in the trucks). They charge 50¢ for cups, no problem, so I bring in my own cup. They proceed to charge me 50¢ for ice. In my own cup. Why?????? Like just why??????? The employees were very friendly throughout the course of pointlessly ripping me off. 2 stars read more

Love the location and friendly staff!! Covid safe and great hours!! Been shopping here for 39 years the owners are amazing the staff is amazing the food is outstanding!! read more

4 stars instead of 5 because they haven't had M&M cookies for over a month.. I will update my review accordingly to 5 stars when this cookie fiasco has been corrected! Besides that, employees are awesome and for a small neighborhood market they have everything you could ask for and more. Update! They've got M&M cookies again!! 5 stars like a muffuker! read more

I don't know what I would do without the Glenshire store! So grateful for this wonderful gem in our beautiful neighborhood. They have just about anything/everything packed into that little store, and an extensive selection of pantry items. They even have organic goods, including fresh produce, meat and cheese! As an added bonus, the staff members are always so friendly and polite. Thank you, Glenshire store team! read more

A day trip to Truckee afforded me the opportunity to visit this quaint little general store and market located on the outskirts of Truckee. It's away from downtown, so this is really a place for the locals or those staying in the houses surrounding the place. It all adds up to a nice environment for your casual shopping needs. I popped in seeking a restroom. Knowing that it's rude to use an establishment's restroom without buying something, I gladly grabbed some drinks for my family. But looking around, I couldn't resist also tapping into their vast selection of snacks and goodies. They even had some toys that my son took a strong interest in. The employees were very friendly as well. I did end up getting the key and using their restroom, but I'm glad my near-bursting bladder gave me a chance to check out this fun little business! read more

Great stuff! They seem to have everything we need. Many gluten free options if you need them!

I appreciate that it's always super well stocked! I can always find whatever random item my recipe calls for and Sherry and Mac and their family are the nicest folks ever. So much to choose from from fresh flowers to ethnic foods, lots of organic and healthy options as well as a nice selection of cards and spur of the moment gifts. A real gem of The Shire. read more

HUGE, fan :) Love coming a cross places like this that take you back in time. From the moment you walk in you notice how old the store is. From the wood floors and the open coolers with drinks and food in them. The fresh fruit in baskets, and the deli counter..... just all in all it took me back to my small town where I grew up. Tip, they don't give out bags. SO bring your own.... read more

Glenshire General Store - Beautiful oct day drive and came across this town/store - Grocery Near Me - Truckee, California

I love the Shire! Great selection, great staff. Yes, things are overpriced--it's a corner store.

Still loving this store. Great employees, most prices are absolutely fine for the convenience. I like the homemade cookies when they are soft. read more

Love this place! Staff is super friendly and they have a great selection of organic and gluten free options!

We have had a vacation home in glenshire for nearly 30 years... About a quarter decade before Yelp was even an a rough idea across a now very wealthy person's mind! The General Store and i have been through alot together! It's not just a grocery store but old friend in my life! Thanks General Store! You will never know how you mean to me and my family! read more

My husband spends way too much money on their lunch sandwiches here. You're welcome glenshire general store

This place has everything I need when I forget something at the store or if I'm not willing to deal with the crazy mid summer store They have new owners a they seem super nice My kids love to come here and pick up candy or ice cream As well Overall pretty cool store read more

This market is the hub of the neighborhood. We live stopping in for coffee, ice cream and grocery shopping when the crowds are too big in Truckee. The staff are very friendly! Nancy and Jerry are the best and always welcoming. read more

Went in and bought an item that was labeled as $13. It rang up as $19. I asked the cashier about the discrepancy and she said "well, it's just labeled wrong, oh well" and would not adjust the price. Locals get burned enough by prices in this town, do not need extra surprise markups at the register. read more

All around rad mom & pop shop. They've got everything, killer ice cream, fresh coffee, insane beer selection. Perfect for grabbing the basics, or those couple of items you don't wanna drive all the way to town for. Can't say a bad word about this place! read more

Love this place. Good people, great selection. I swear every time I call them with a random request that prevents me from going to town, they have it. And Post Covid - whenever that happens - their Paninis are really good - one of the best sandwiches in town. read more

Great place - especially if you dont want to drive to town and wait inline for 3 hours at safeway. Im happy they are there!

I love this store! They have a good selection of food, great local coffee, and the food they do carry is good quality. Yes it is a little more than you'll find at Safeway but if you look at the $$ you save in gas driving 15 miles to town & back it's a no-brainier. This is a great store for a local trip. Support your local stores people! read more

Great location. Small but very good inventory. Very decent prices. New owners brought some new life to it.

The Glenshire General Store has saved me from driving 15 minutes to Safeway for butter or eggs or something simple. A bit on the expensive side but totally worth it for small items. The staff is very nice and welcoming. read more

Just drove down to the Gen to get a pack of smokes and a gallon of milk. When checking out I was told my total was $17.73. Wow! I know that the Gen is not the lowest price place to shop but that was a bit much. When I asked the young (under 18) cashier to check the total I received a blank stare, and a sharp tongue. He finally looked at the receipt and corrected the bill. If I had not been on my game I think he would have taken me for $5. Not cool. I have always loved the Gen, but now have mixed feelings. read more

This store is great! The people are friendly and the homemade foods area great. One review stated it was pricey? Remember this is a local business and purchase in small quantity so of course they can't offer Safeway or big box store pricing. But it is locally owned, convenient and clean. The owner has almost too much energy but it's a good thing I think... Support your local business! read more

i love this store. the drive into truckee takes two song lengths each way, and another song to get to the markets in town. the general store has a selection way better than a corner store, including organic produce and lots of home-made ready to eat stuff. 10% discounts on cases of anything, nice locals who are nice to visitors. the banana bread is to die for! read more

Since the new owners have taken over, it's a great store! It's so friendly and inviting. The product selection and the prices are doable. It's become the place to see your neighbors and but great beer read more

From Monica, Jenny and River Mueller- We love GGS! Having you around the corner is awesome. I don't mind paying a little more since it saves me the hassle of driving all the way to town. It's convenient, great service and Glenshire would be sad without you. We appreciate you Tina and hope you are here for many years to come. To everyone in Glenshire-help support our General Store!! read more

Been shopping at the "little store" for 26 years, They have saved my bacon hundreds of times! Friendly staff and good hours. They are always happy to field a phone call to check on a item. Beer selection is very good. Convenience and happy staff. read more

The store is ok if you really need something, but if you are looking for shopping it is way too expensive!! Very pricey, but they typically have what you are looking for if you are wiling pay the price. read more

I have found that this store is a great convenience to us that live 7 miles from the the local Safeway, 15 mile round trip. I truly appreciate having the item I forgot to pick up on the way home. The Deli has great sandwiches and I love the cappuccino. Thanks for being here. read more
