The inside mart is full of the typical drinks and snack food items one would expect. A few unexpected items are the souvenirs, beach items and sundries people might need or want.

    Read the fine print:

    Grocery purchase excludes tobacco, alcohol, fuel, MILK, prescription drugs, postage stamps, lottery tickets, gift cards, and sales tax.

    While promotion lasts.

    Limit fuel up to 50 gallons

    Question: is there an expiration date for the receipt? How does one use the receipt?

    Not convinced this is a deal, considering Raley’s prices and exclusions. Convenience for tourists, maybe.

    I went in to the station today, it is a great addition to the Y area. But can someone explain why there is only one entrance and exit? There are two others on the property, one blocked by cones and one blocked by a rail and post fence.

    Is this another example of a great addition to the lake screwed up by some short thinking individuals? The previous Shell had two egress’ on to the highway.

    Anything to make a dent in Sam’s control over gas prices. Good work, Raley’s.

    What was the price? $4.17? I paid $3.85 in Gardnerville. Tahoe is still a hugh rip-off !

    If the difference in price at Railey’s doesn’t provide proof of Sam’s “pricefixing” what does?
    The city seems happy to collect the higher based taxes & has allowed this practice to have gone on for many years…… What say they, to the Federal guidelines on pricefixing?

    Who or what is Sam’s ?
