Reno – Grocery, Merchandise, and Water Stores
Grocery stores are spread out all over the Truckee Meadows, including the import stores. Just check out the corresponding shopping hub to determine if the store that's tempting you is indeed what you are looking for in terms and variety of food, merchandise, and other services, and is located near other businesses you want to visit.
For dry ice or large pieces of regular ice, Crystal Ice & Oil Company, located at the Keystone Exit on West Fourth Street, may be the best place for you to get your pieces cut to whatever size you need. If pre-cut and bagged ice works for you, plenty of grocery stores will also be able to help you out.
There are also six water stores in the area, and the Save Mart on Keystone Avenue will also be providing water for all size containers and your RV’s
And, of course, please leave the shopping cart at the store. Just saying, as some burners in the past have not!
