Convenience Stores in El Segundo, CA

“(Shopped 10/31/23 TU @ 3:30pm): That's right... they aided in my parking dilemma, but I did buy something! I happened across Rite Aid's El Segundo's Grand Ave. location because I couldn't find parking in the area to meet some friends next door at The Standard Station Sports Bar & Grill, and my Catholic guilt got the better of me. I always made it a habit whenever I parked at a business I initially had no intention of visiting, I would go inside and make a small purchase as a sort of "payment" for parking on their premises. Now that my conscience was cleared, I quickly reflected on the company's recent bankruptcy filing news. The company that took over Thrifty's decades ago was now on its seemingly last legs. I've had fond memories of both companies, so this visit was kind of bittersweet. Was I all right with this particular location before its demise!? PURCHASE Resse's Pretzels Miniature Cups 9.9oz Bag ($5.99): I was a fan of all the yummy sweets throughout the Reese's brand, so when I saw this in the nearly-empty Halloween candy section, I grabbed it because it sounded good and it was the last one so it looked sad there all by itself. Once I finally tore this bag open and shared it with my friends, each tiny cup was packed with crunchy pretzel pieces covered with smooth peanut butter and delectable chocolate. It was as good as expected - yummy! SERVICE Because I had no idea what I was going to purchase before I entered, there was no need for any customer assistance. As I whizzed through the store, I came to the candy aisle and my decision was made. I quickly went to the self-checkout counter, paid, and I was out the door in minutes. I saw one employee serving Thrifty's Ice Cream, one cashier, and one other employee stocking the shelves. All was good! PARKING (FREE) Located within the Grand Park Plaza, they were on their own standalone corner and had their own private lot with a ton of spots - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A medium-sized building that was clean and organized inside with easy directions and labels for each section along with spacious aisles. The pharmacy was at the very back, the refrigerated and frozen coolers also along the back and side walls, the ice cream counter up front close to the registers, and a surprisingly assorted well-stocked liquor section. A decent amount of natural lighting came through the front glass windows and doors while plenty of soul-sucking fluorescent electric ceiling lights covered the rest. I didn't recall seeing any TVs but Top-40 music played in the background. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL El Segundo's Grand Ave. Rite Aid location was perfectly fine for my needs although probably wholly not theirs. On my quick casing of the joint, everything was kept clean, organized, and what you'd expect from any other Rite Aid if you've ever been in one. And, they still had Thrifty's Ice Cream, so buy it now while you could! Honestly, I had no idea how long this location would be around since the bankruptcy, so I wished them the best. The prices may be a touch higher due to convenience and economies, and you may not find all the brands out on the market but possibly lesser-known ones. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $6.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS”

“i've been meaning to write a review for a while now... i love this gas station... its on my route home.. and whenever i need gas or snack or just to use the restroom... they are there... clean... super friendly staff... thanks chevron!!”

“Nice Chevron. The pay at the pump terminals activate gasoline very fast. And the air compressor can be manually turned on for free without notifying an employee. Good selection of drinks and snacks. Open 24 hours.”

“I've been visiting the pharmacy at this location for the last 1.5 years and the service is always good. The five star review is for the pharmacy manager, Jessica (I think), who went above and beyond when I was having an issue with my medication. She is very impressive.”

“Jessica was incredibly helpful in ensuring I got my epipen before my flight when my doctor accidentally prescribed the wrong dose. This is not my usual Walgreens, but I would highly recommend it to anyone in the area. Thanks again Jessica!”

“No pictures were taken since I was in a hurry on my lunch break trying to get gas. Yes this 7-eleven has a gas station and surprisingly it is very cheap considering its location by the airport. The location right on the corner of a light so easy to get in and easy to go in any direction afterwards. As for the inside of the store it's not as nice as other 7-elevens but the customer service was good. I went in for some liquid death some hot Cheetos and some gas they do not do gas and in store transactions under the same card reader. So be ready to tap or swipe or insert twice. Good location good prices!”

“It's a convenient safe stop to get some gas and like me buy some Lottery tickets. The cashiers are always nice and friendly and the store is always neat and clean.”

“To my surprise the store was very organized, very good employees, the employees are very social especially the young kid with the curly hair, He greets me when I walk in and keeps the store organized and under control. I don't live around here but if I do come back I will make sure to come back to this store. The other guy that works with him is a little quiet but he greeted me and was respectful.”

“I guess my experiences have been unlike the many negative reviewers'. The parking spaces are small but it's a clean 7-11. The last time I went in the cashier refused to sell firewood and a lighter to two obviously underaged teens who were bad liars. I know some locals who frequent here and they say the employees are cordial. I thought he might have been rude to me when he rang me up, but then he was nice with his follow up. Of course some essentials are overpriced but they are open 24 hours and they do have sales. For instance on drinks and ice cream. This place is heaven for salty and sweet snack lovers. I usually come in for their strong coffee, drinks and chicken salad sandwich. When it's darker outside, the brightly lit lottery jackpot amounts are easily visible from Main Street.”

“There are some very compassionate people who work at this location. Kirbet or Kirbret is the name of an employee who helped me during an emergency I was having. She went out her way when she really didn't have to. This was my first visit to this location and the compassion that was shown to me will never be forgotten. Very clean store and very attentive employees.”
