Scolari’s Food & Drug Company

This place needs a three. I have been going here for years and I still see the some of the same staff form over ten years ago. The staff there are very nice.
The unfortunate thing about this place is it is one of the few stores left in the Reno area:-(. I am just hoping that it stays open. The parking lot is great for parking in but watch out for any pot holes or dirt near the main road. Not sure if this is the stores parking lot area or not.
Scolari’s is the only place I can find a specific ice cream. I know there area others out there close to the same but nothing like this particular one.
I recommend everyone needs to change me here to try the Sunnyvale brand of death by chocolate. Let’s just say I did not care for chocolate until I tried this. So if you a chocolate lover this right up your ally!

Since my family moved to Sun Valley twenty years ago, this place has been the most convenient place to stop and quickly grab groceries. After becoming a financially independent adult, I’ve realized how overpriced things are here, even with the «discounts.» I would honestly rather go to Walmart to buy food, and I really dislike Walmart.
Most of the employees are friendly, with the exception of a few who have worked there for as long as I can remember. Its always a guessing game of whether or not the cashier will smile and ask how you are. They make it a little more than obvious that they just want to get you out of the store as soon as possible, but then again, I never want to hang around there longer than I have to anyway.

This grocery store is a dump. Horrible selection and horrible prices. It’s shameful and to me seems to be a gouge to the poor folks who can’t make it out of the valley to shop. If you can make it over the hill to Wally World or Winco then there is no reason whatsoever to step foot in this dive.

I hate to say it but unfortunately Scolari’s seems to be a dyeing breed. This is one of the only ones left that hasn’t closed or announced that it is closing yet. People don’t seem to mind driving a bit further to wally world or winco to save a few bucks.
I would probably never make this my go to grocery store but I personally wouldn’t mind stopping in more often if the place didn’t feel so dingy. Most of the cashiers are young and act like it, which is another thing that discourages me from grabbing an item I need on the way thru the valley.
