The Common Man Roadside Market & Deli and Irving gas station in Derry opened in December 2025, on…read morethe former Wendy's site. They also have other CMan Roadside locations throughout NH including the I-93 Hooksett Rest Areas (Northbound & Southbound), Epsom, Portsmouth, Plymouth, and 2 in Manchester.
This convenience store has the atmosphere of a cozy country store with that New Hampshire flavor. This store features a full service takeout restaurant counter serving breakfast fare, pizzas, subs, burgers, sandwiches, fried foods, soups, salads, mac & cheese, bakery goods, and a variety of coffee/espresso drinks & smoothies, plus grab & go sandwiches, wraps, salads, pizza slices, self-serve coffee & fountain drinks and other chilled items.

There are 12 self-serve fueling pumps (Irving) outside of the store offering pay at the pump for convenience.
I've stopped in at the Derry location several times for takeout food. On my initial visit during grand opening week, I stopped for breakfast takeout and ordered the Steak Omelette with Home Fries & Buttered English Muffin was very good and the breakfast service was spot on and prompt.
On another visit back on grand opening week, the evening staff was having issues, making my food incorrectly including cole slaw missing from my pulled pork sandwich and grilled chicken completely missing from my chicken broccoli alfredo. The staff probably was not fully trained at that time. Those items were corrected when I brought them back to the food counter.
On another visit, I got 2 Pizza Slices for $6.50 plus tax from the hot glass case, pepperoni slice and chicken broccoli alfredo slice, fresh slices were pretty good with a good soft dough crust, but cut at obscure angles.
It's great having a Common Man convenience store even closer to my home where I can grab quick bites to eat at fair prices.
