Convenience Stores in Wood River, NE

“On 12/28/2022 at 3:19am I pulled into the gas station, needing to fill up. I was in a trip from Fargo ND to Colorado Springs CO. I went to go in to pre pay and discovered I had lost my wallet. Probably at our last stop by Lincoln NE. We had $14 to our name. I went in to put in what I could, hoping to make it far enough that our daughter would be awake and able to help. The nice young clerk has asked what was going on. I had explained and as I paid and turn to walk out. He called me back inside. Handing me $20 out of his own pocket. He was our saving grace. With that $20 we had just enough to make it to CO.So, thank you for employing such kind heart employees!”

“This store has been around for at least 25 years, maybe closer to 30. The store hasn’t really changed much. The freshly made food is great, especially the pizza, product is usually stocked, and current employees are nice. But it’s very small and almost impossible to enter or leave when truck comes. They block the entire door and have to move over when someone needs in/out. It might be the only way to deliver, which stinks because unloading truck can be a real pain for employees and customers. Kudos to the management team who there with everyone else working to get the product in fast. I hate to bother them when I get my morning coffee and breakfast pizza. They are always very kind when I need to enter and leave, I appreciate them. With several other stores getting fresh updates or new buildings I was hopeful WR would get a new building or something more.

Wheelchair accessibility: It is unclear where the vehicles go to unload someone from the car, with out lines in the lot you can’t tell if there is a handicap spot. There is one on the side of the store, but if you don’t know it’s there unless you are looking for it.”

“Decent stopping place right off the highway. They have a subway and a large convenience store. There are also coin operated washing machines here. Restroom was decently maintained.”
