No, you don’t have to be odd to come to Oddie Blvd., although it might help. Off this exit are some fabulous finds... especially the cheap kind. You’ll love it. Make a right from the end of the freeway offramp and let the shopping begin!
At the first light, look to the right. The U-Haul right on the corner offers trailers, trucks and propane. Fill up your tanks here. Call 775-359-9202. Hours are varied. Call for details, reservations and prices.
Now, turn to the left on Silverado. You will find great deals on both sides of you. To the left is Sak-N-Save. Open 24/7, Sak-N-Save is a super discount grocer with a LOT of stock and a decent variety of offerings. Debit cards and cash only. ATM inside.
Also in this shopping center is KFC, Wendy’s and Carl’s Jr.
Turn right and you’ll find Goodwill, Lowe’s (775-356-6333), McDonald’s, Long’s Drugs and most importantly, Savers Thrift Store. You need to travel down the parking lot a little ways to find it; it’s on the right. Now the Goodwill contains the most conservative clothing we’ve ever seen in a thrift store. Might be worth a stop in and look around for that one gem. But ten bucks says Savers will be the better choice of the two stores. We’ve found some killer stuff at this Savers. It’s a huge store with everything but the kitchen sink, and part of the proceeds go to charity.
Down the street on Oddie is a Super K-Mart. When your itch to shop has been satisfied, head back to US 395, go south, then get back on I-80 going east to head for Black Rock City.
