This Cumberland Farms in Downtown Derry is modern and spacious. Only a few years ago, this store…read morewas smaller and crammed before the renovation and expansion at the same site.
The self serve chill zone (fountain drinks & freezes) and coffee bar (any size (their cups) is 99 cents plus tax) offers a good selection of several varieties of coffee (I like the Farmhouse Blend and my choice of flavored creamers too). I sometimes grab an iced coffee on hot days. I like the food selections here which includes sandwiches, subs, salads, hot pizza, wings, fresh baked goods, and hot munchies (tornados, hot dogs). It's definitely not a Wawa or Sheetz which have very extensive MTO food offerings (PA customers are very spoiled), but Cumbys food offerings is good enough for here and generally cheaper than the mentioned.
This store also carries cold drinks in the cooler, a walk-in beer fridge, small food items, frozen foods, ice cream, gelato, snacks, candy, newspapers, magazines, lottery tickets, smokes, and other miscellaneous items. The clerks here are pretty friendly.
Though I don't buy gas at this Cumby's (I already go to the Derry Speedway for gas which has more pumps), the gas prices here are pretty competitive with other gas stations in the Derry area. There are three gas pumps (6 vehicle fueling positions) outside, which also offer pay at the pump for convenience & smart pay (10 cents off per gallon).
The onsite access is a bit tricky. Entering the site from NH 102 (East Broadway) from the west or east is no trouble using McAllister Ct (west side) or Franklin St (east side). However, if you want to get back onto NH 102, you must exit to the east and turn right onto Franklin St (2 way) and make a left turn (tricky during heavy traffic) or right turn onto NH 102. Exiting onto McAllister Ct (one way northbound) is right turn out only, away from NH 102, but easier access to Crystal Avenue (NH 28) via a few turns on back side streets.
Personally, I find it easier to parallel park on East Broadway (facing west) and run inside Cumbys for my coffee and I'm on my way very quickly with no parking lot woes.
