Tres Pinos Market

May 2023

Nice girl at the register and I got wrapped up into this guy’s rant about Progressive Insurance denying him insurance after he made a claim. He was livid. He also spoke of some Mexican thieves but he found some new insurance from a Mexican guy. I think he must have been drinking some of the wine from down the road where he said he’s worked forever. The way he spoke to me was as strange as the way I speak to most strangers. This was the first place in years that allowed me to pump gas before I paid. I’m glad that card worked or I’d still be in town washing something or either siphoning it back out for ‘em.

Mini mart has what you need to get by in a crunch. On a bike ride through Airline and Cienega, I needed electrolytes and this place had what I needed. Bring cash - if possible. One of the last stops if you are heading out to Pinnacles or back roads to King City.

This little gas station and market is my go to place for gas and things I forget at the grocery store. It's quick, convenient, and the staff is always personable and pleasant. Wayne, the owner, is a great guy who works hard. That's why I love supporting my tiny town's (population 500) little market.
