the Ruby Rose Hooper Junction Sinclair Gas Station in Hooper, Colorado (1/2 hour north of Alamosa)…read moreis a gem. it is small 4 pump, but has everything you need. A clean roomy bathroom, a nice little cafe/shop, and friendly people to boot...this is definitely the place to gas up, browse around, and get a bite to eat. Will visit here again!

My significant other hates shopping, but this City Market made it pretty easy on him…read more Granted we were there at around 7PM on 10/26/2023. I've been here before, and the customer service has been good each go-round. The store is fairly organized and clean. I noticed some great deals on their Kroger branded items. They eased the inflation-induced budget a little. Not much, but a little. At night I noticed the lighting in the parking lot was okay. Could be brighter, but overall it seems to be a safe area. I like grocery shopping here far more than other places in Alamosa. Bring your own bags or gripe about being charged for plastic. Your choice.

For a Tuesday lunch, I bought the deli "Chester's Chicken chicken wing meal." Potatoes wedges and…read morebroccoli salad were chosen as sides. Those wings were worse than low-quality cafeteria offering. They felt inadequately cooked and like yesterday's leftover. But the most telling consequence? I was forced to use the bathroom twice (night and morning) to rid myself of the foul food.

Chief Liquor is a fantastic adult beverage store in Alamosa, CO…read more They offer a wide variety of liquor, some wines, and beer, but not so much in the snacks department -- just pretzels & jerky. The one-way streets in the area are a bit funky, but manageable. It's conveniently located across the street from Walgreens & Safeway, so what they don't have inside this place will most likely be available at the other two. There is ample parking out front or on the side. They even have a drive-thru. When my significant other and I stopped here on 6/7/2023, we met the friendliest cashier with a great personality. In such a short time, we learned about several of their usual customers -- they like to get there bright and early -- sometimes before this cashier does at 8AM! Lol.

It really is the BEST liquor store in town...they even have a drive-thru! Great selection of…read morealcohol and wine.

The lengthy title says it all: Sunshine Salvage Amish Discount Grocery & Country Store…read more In the middle of Monte Vista, CO lies this moderate looking store. There could be another sign or two advertising the place, however, Google Maps will lead you strait to it. A very nice Amish woman laughed at my cowboy's jokes and asked me if I was related to another local. To my knowledge, I am not! Lol. The parking lot was gravel with unmarked spaces. A sleepy dog with wavy yellowish-brown hair greeted us gently, but immeditely went back to snoozing. Inside the semi-dusty country store was a surprising amount of everything one could possibly need in a pinch: + dried beans and pastas + nuts and all the baking goods + pie filling + canned goods + household supplies + personal hygiene items + cold drinks and snacks + cat/dog commodities I picked up a jar of locally-made blackberry jam, apple cider vinegar, and drinks for the kids all for under $13. Keep in mind that items like dented canned goods and some smashed packaged items are sold with deep discounts. They do not sell much meat aside from the canned variety. I paid cash for our items, but they do accept plastic. I will definitely be here in the future. TIP The store is open daily except on Sunday 9AM-5PM. Also, their bakery is open only a few days of the week which we sadly missed out on.

Monte Vista is a small town in Southern Colorado…read more Thus Alta has definite small town vibes. When I needed to "see the cashier" on 9/2/2023 because the pump I parked at was not accepting my credit card, there was a line that I could tell was not moving fast any time soon. The convenience shop seemed decent. Clean. But it seemed like time was standing still so I went back out to my Jeep. Tried the pump on the other side. Sure enough, it accepted my card just fine. No need to see the cashier. No need to experience that twilight zone energy a second time. Lol. Conoco gas is sold here. That mid-morning it was $4 per regular unleaded which was 85 octane. Same price as the other gas stations nearby. TIP The Upside app has this as one of their checkin locations - it's simply an app to help you save more at the pump.
