Stop N Go in downtown Oakland is more than just a corner store—it’s a lifeline.
As someone who’s newer to Oakland and has been through a lot, this place means more to me than I can fully explain. Here’s why: • 💛 They always treat me with kindness. Every time I walk in, I feel genuinely welcomed. The energy is warm, respectful, and never rushed. • 🛒 They have everything I need. Whether it’s groceries, cleaning supplies, snacks, or even the best specialty soda drinks, the prices are fair and the selection is surprisingly wide. • 🧼 It’s clean, organized, and easy to find things. Not something you get everywhere downtown. • 🙏 It’s one of the few places I feel safe. As a single woman, I don’t say that lightly. I’ve gone in during the day and late at night, and I always feel protected and looked out for. • 🌍 They create real community. It’s more than a store—it’s a place where people feel seen. That matters, especially in a city where connection can be hard to find.

Either update the times you're open or make an actual schedule and stick to it. How're you going to two a customer that you open a specific time and yet you're closed when they come in at that time multiple times in a row? Bas...
Read moreI had a great experience at Stop N Go! The store was spotless, clean aisles, well-organized shelves, and everything looked fresh and well-maintained. What really stood out to me, though, was the staff. The employees were friendly, helpful, and made the whole visit feel welcoming. It’s clear that they care about both their customers and keeping the place in top shape. Definitely one of the cleanest and best-run stores I’ve been to. Highly recommend...
