Can't say for the other days but they DO NOT open at 0700 on Saturdays. Don't waste your time like I did!

No complaints seem to know what's going on. It's a very busy place. They have one drive up window and have employees outside waiting on customers. Thanks guys doing a good job.

I bought a hard cider from them. Got home and opened one up and it was expired. They did refund me, but they charged me a fee. I only got $7 back for the $11 item. The clerk told me "next time, make sure you check the expiration date." Isn't it the business's job to check that they aren't selling expired products?? Why is that on me??

This is a community store with a drive through, ready to serve you at all times when opened. Serious staffs who are always on the lookout if customers are cueing up just to get your orders while in the cue. Situated just on University Ave on the east side, towards the fairgrounds, and on your way to the 'Pleasant hills community' or vice versa... Great deals with prices too !!!

Vuse Alto. Last 2 times I've been here they charged me 12.99, even though the sign says 11.99. I asked the guy at the window about it he was smug and rude. First he said it was tax, then he said well the price changed i said OK he handed me my change. He was very rude. So you just lost my business over $2 and attitude. I can go across the street and get them for the advertised price of $11.99.

Great customer service! And I'm a stern critic, with many years of customer service experience. Most impressive is the relaxed yet accurate approach every person there has towards their customers. Well done :-)

So I'm always going to the store and I really like this store until today when I go in there with my coat on with my hood on my head cause cold and I want 10 steps in a store towards the wine and this older guy comes up to me and asked me if I found what I needed! I thought to myself no I just walked into store... so the whole time I'm in the store I am being watched and followed like I'm bout to steal something. Idk if it was cause im black and having a hood on because it's f****** cold outside or what but I just think they should of have me better credit then what they did. Like I dont come here all the time thru the drive thru and the store and never stole anything. So just for that they get a 4 star instead of a 5.Thanks to those employees who have made me feel welcomed.

Way over priced!!!! Should be called Last Option Overpriced Liqour Store. Way way way overpriced. I will not be returning there, I don't want to help support them ripping the local community off.
