Rite Aid in Mammoth is basically the local Wal-Mart. Just without the low prices.
Once you get to Mammoth there is not many different places to get supplies and food. Say you need snow boots or a couple extra pairs of socks. You could either buy them at one of the places at the actual resort and use your life savings or you could take a trip down a mile to Rite Aid and only spend half of that amount.
This Rite Aid is different from most Rite Aid locations in a couple ways. They stock WAY more stuff than most. They really do have just about everything. That is what brings up my other point...the stuff they do stock is EVERYWHERE. Stuff is in the isles, top of shelves, end of isles...kind of like how Wal-Mart was before they started remodeling their stores.
I was helped by an older gentleman who worked there...his name may have been Dougie but I could be wrong. Whatever his name was he was an amazing help to me. I had to come back to him 3 or 4 times looking for random items and not only was he willing to help me but he knew exactly where everything was and led me to each and every thing I needed.
They also carry the ever so amazing Thrifty Ice Cream...it's in the back freezer. Make sure you stop by and get some before you leave.
