Sav-A-Minit Market

I am so thankful to have this holy mecca of convenient stores so close to my house.
Not only do they have the best craft beer selection, which I currently think rivals La Bodega, they also have a build your own six pack. They even have a top notch selection of gourmet sodas, root beer and sparkling soda. The workers also make this place really feel like a neighborhood market. They are always so kind, personable and Franklin the security guard is a saint. I miss him so much! Thank you Sav-​A-​Minit for keeping me hydrated. Also, whoever is complaining about the rough crowd needs wake up, Riverside is such a diverse city. Get your ass to CVS then and stop complaining.

Excellent! Best place in riverside for craft brews. Jason the manager will do anything for you and they get great sales!

Not surprisingly, Sav-​A-​Minit Market attracts a rough crowd. It’s a liquor store though, so that is to be expected. It has a decent wine selection, and the beer selection is whatever, but what I really don’t like is that it closes early. I’m sure that is a product of the location, but I still find it annoying.

Great selection of craft brews, and good prices. Love the creation your own 6 packs for $ 9.99. I’ll be back.

Friendly workers and great environment. It has really cleaned up the last few years and the area has dramatically improved. Not to mention the amazing craft beer selection!

Have everything you need. Nice little spot I can walk to when I need milk or sour cream or some cigs late night. Only wish they were open later and that it was a little cleaner. I saw a rat run across the floor once which made me stray away from the produce department. Also it attracts a lot of the downtown riverside bums. Wish they were 24 hours. Kind of a bummer they close at 11.

Basic Convenience Store That Has My Stuff
SITREP
When traveling down to Riverside to conduct my training-​junkets at our Regional Office located in the California Towers on Main Street, this is one of my «Go-​To» stops between the regional office and the hotel to stock up on my «junk food».
SETUP
Conveniently along Market Street, it’s a quick pop in & out to grab & snag my Lay’s Sour Cream Potato chips and a 2-​LTR bottle of Pepsi Max or (if they are out) of Diet Pepsi. Then I’m set for evenings at the hotel without having to worry about being ripped off by the on-​premise vending machines.
THE LOWDOWN
Sav-​A-​Minit Market has got the goods I crave for my personal late night snack happy hour.

This place is a ship hole for sure but def has good liquor prices the bums hanging around the store are entertaining to say the least goodluck!
#cheers

This place can be considered «Ghetto» for sure… I just want to say for the eleven years I have worked in Riverside that it has MOST DEF improved. I used to have to wait until the homeless, Wino’s and other «questionable» patrons left before driving up LOL Now I think they have cleaned up this area of Riverside considerably so it isn’t a gamble so much for me (most times) hehehehe
Why do I go there you ask? Because they ALWAYS carry Snapple Apple and Fruit Punch Snapple my 2 VERY FAVORITE beverages and at a reasonable price. They also carry a HUGE array of snacks and chips… well I guess a person would say what Liqqa sto wouldn’t right? PLENTY I tell you PLENTY. Sometimes I get a hankering for Nacho Cheese Bugles or Caramel Bugles and LO & Behold they have them BOTH! A plethora of candies to choose from as well ranging from old time «5^th Avenue» to present day Starburst/​Skittles fruit assortments.
Be careful there are still people that come up and ask for money. Oh and the cashiers are SUPER nice too!
