The Civilized Explorer Reno Supplies Shopping Page

 

The ~Civilized<p>Explorer


Area Code -- The area code for Reno is 775.

For people with a need to buy stuff on the way to Burning Man - either because they flew into Reno or they forgot to stop by Trader Joe's, here are some stores in Reno and Sparks. Also included is information about where to buy water, ice, clothes, camping supplies, and anything else that sounded interesting to us. Reno continues to grow, with most construction in the south part of town along Rt. 395. This area is flush with national chains for stores and restaurants - there is very little worth going out of your way to get to. However, if you are driving in from the south, you've got a lot of businesses adjacent to the freeway, which can be convenient.

The second part of this page is Shopping by Freeway Exit, a list of stores at each freeway exit. My thought is that this can be printed out and used to identify one or two exits that will have everything you need. Let me know how this works for you!

If you want to know about road construction in downtown Reno, go to the City of Reno's Road Closures page. You can also check out live video of the Reno Skyline, the Truckee River, and Virginia St. in downtown Reno.

Specific Stores of Burning Man Interest

 

Melting Pot

1049 S. Virginia St 322-9445 - The Melting Pot closes during Burning Man so they can attend. Clearly an enlightened business, stop by if you have time before or after the event. They sell Burning Man tickets, incense, drums, hemp, tie dye, pipes, sarongs, masks, belly dancing apparel, bindis, henna, rugs, and Burning Man books. They moved a few blocks south after Burning Man 2006. From Route 80, take Exit 13 (S. Virginia St.) The store is about 1.5 miles down on the right (half a block north of Vassar). From Route 395, take Exit 65 (Plumb Lane) • west on E. Plumb Lane• right onto S. Kietzke Lane • left onto Vassar • right onto S. Wells. (This trip is just under 2 miles from the Exit.)

 

Twin City Surplus

1675 E. 4th St. (888) 323-5630 - Local 323-5630 - Open 8-6 Monday-Saturday and 10-4 Sunday. This Big Red Barn provides camping and military surplus supplies. This is a phenomenal place - it's huge and has the largest assortment of various surplus stuff I've ever seen. Fire suits, water barrels, gloves, tents, tarps, goggles, parachutes, military lip balm, etc. They have helped supply Burning Man for years and are accustomed to helping Europeans and other folks from outside the US supply their entire camp. This year, they've contributed gear worth $700 to a Reno radio station giveaway for Burning Man. It's almost worth going even if you don't need anything, just to talk to them and other Burners. We've also done our own web page of pictures from the Big Red Barn. To get there from Route 80, take Exit 14 • south on Wells Ave • east (left) on E. 4th St. • it's 8 blocks down on your left. To get there from Route 395, take the Route 80 exit east • Exit 16 (Victorian Ave./E. 4th St.) • right onto E. 4th • west 4 blocks - it's on your right.

Fortunately, Reno is also blessed with a store for those who remembered they forgot to get the Combat Juice Blend somewhere outside Truckee and for those who fly into town. Located in Smithridge Plaza, next to Longs, across McCarran Blvd. from Meadowood Mall. From Route 395, take Exit 63 (S. Virginia St. - Kietzke Lane) • east on McCarran. The mall is just east of Route 395. Claims to be open 9 am to 9 pm.

Moana Lane • Moana Lane then becomes Airway Dr, continue on 0.8 mile • Airway Dr. then becomes Double R Blvd • proceed 1 mile • it's on the right.

Home of the battery powered Christmas lights, this institution is always part of my Burning Man shopping. If you've left home without the lights, there are some stores along the way.

We shop here every year after Burning Man to begin stocking up for the next year. In past years, the Reno Tahoe Visitor magazine had a discount coupon for Sierra Trading Post.

 

Dollar Tree

There are several locations in Reno and Sparks, so you can easily stock up on cheap toilet paper, Santa hats, water, cookies, and other essential stuff. 

95 W Plumb Ln (near the intersection with S. Virginia, in Lakeside Plaza near Save-Mart) 329-2700 - From Route 80, take Exit 13 (Virginia St.) • go south on Virginia 2 miles • turn right onto Plumb Lane. From Route 395, take Exit 65 (Plumb Lane) • go west on Plumb Lane about a mile.

(I know it makes no sense to exit for E. McCarran and then go north on S. McCarran, but that's how it works in Sparks.)

9760 S. Virginia St. in south Reno. 852-5004‎  From northbound Route 395, take Exit 60,  S. Meadows Parkway, • turn left onto S. Meadows Parkway • go 0.3 mile and turn right onto S. Virginia St. • it's 0.2 mile ahead on the right.

Plumb Lane • left on Harvard Way • it's on your right about a block and a half. Open Mon - Fri 10:00-8:30, Saturday 10:00-7:00 and Sunday 11:00-6:00.

 

Harbor Freight Tools

Located at Peckham Square, near the corner of S. Kietzke Lane and Peckham Lane. 3800 S. Kietzke Ln826-4768  From Rt. 395, take Exit 64, Moana Lane • west on Moana • south on S. Keitzke Lane and it's on your left.

 

Water

MECO is the company that provides the sprayer trucks to keep the dust down.  They also will deliver tanks (500 and 1,000 gallon) of potable water to the playa and fill your tank or RV.  Reserve early (by June) so they can accommodate everyone's needs.  You can reserve online or call Bill McKinnies at 775-771-0720.

 

Tap Water

 

Twin City Surplus will fill your water containers. In 2004, they charged $12 to fill a 55 gallon barrel, $7 for 30 gallons, $6 for 20 gallons, and $5 for 15 gallons. To get there from Route 80, take Exit 14 • south on Wells Ave • east (left) on E. 4th St. • it's 8 blocks down on your left. To get there from Route 395, take the Route 80 exit west • Exit 16 (Victorian Ave./E. 4th St.) • right onto E. 4th • west 4 blocks - it's on your right.

 

Sierra Sid's truck stop at Exit 19 in Sparks (giant sign visible from I-80) has faucets with gate valves, that blast at high volume and fill the containers quickly.

 

The Pilot Travel Center in Fernley can also be used to fill-up water containers. Fernley is 2 miles north of the exit for Burning Man (Rt. 447) off Rt. 80. Take Exit 46, ALT US-95 S, West Fernley, • take the Wadsworth (Pyramid Lake) ramp on right • Continue onto ALT US-95 (NV-427, Stock Ln) • go 1.1 mile and turn right onto Hardie Ln. • it's 0.4 mile down the road.  575-5115

 

Desert Rose RV Park in Fernley charges $5 for as much tap water as you want (like 450 gallons!) It's 9 miles off Route 80 in Fernley, a small detour. From Route 80, take exit 46, Route 95 Alternate • keep right at the fork, follow signs for Wadsworth/Pyramid Lake and merge onto NV-427/Stock Ln/US-95-ALT • go south on Rt. 95 9 miles and you're there!

 

I've also heard of one person who fills up at the spigot at the Donner Summit Rest Area on Route 80. It's free, although there could be a line if everyone decides to use this water source!  The spigot doesn't stay open on it's own, so you may tire of holding it open.  NOTE: This rest area is currently closed for renovations.

 

Ice and Dry Ice

 

Brief instructions for use in cooling and freezing are available.

Save-Mart, Raley's, Scolari's, and Safeway stores in Reno, Sparks, and Fernley sell dry ice. We have found that many sell out just before Burning Man; the Scolari's in Fernley had dry ice when no other grocery store did. Now we stop at Crystal Ice, they have tons of ice. For people coming from the south, The Water Mart in Sparks may be more convenient. I don't know of any ice companies along Route 395 in Reno.

 

Crystal Ice 1345 W. 4th St. Reno 323-5145 - Conveniently located off the Keystone exit on Rt. 80 • go south on Keystone • right at the 2nd light onto 4th St. • Crystal Ice is on the right just after the Keystone RV Park (about 2 blocks). You can back up to the loading dock - what could be more convenient? They are open 7 days a week; 7 am - 5 pm Mon - Sat and 8 am - 3 pm Sunday.  CASH ONLY  Mention that you followed directions from their web site and receive one 7lb. bag or one 10lb. block of ice free with your ice purchase.  Prices in 2008 were 99 cents per pound for dry ice, $1.90 for a 10 lb block, $5.75 for a 25 lb block, and a Burning Man Special of 6 bags of party ice for $5.

 

 

Propane

A map of propane suppliers.  If you need to get your propane tank refilled, your best bet is Baldini's Sports Casino in Sparks. You can pump your own at their gas station. 1055 S. Rock Blvd, Sparks 358-7400 From Rt. 80, take Exit 17, Rock Blvd. • go south on S. Rock Blvd. • it's on the right at the intersection with Greg St. (about 0.6 mile from Rt. 80).

 

U-Haul stores also sell propane.

1790 Silverada Blvd 359-9202 - Located between Reno and Sparks. From Route 80, take Exit 15 (Route 395) • go south on Route 395 • take the first exit (Exit 69, Oddie Blvd.) • go east on Oddie, the U-Haul is at the intersection of Oddie and Silverado.

3411 S. Virginia 825-4445 - From Route 395, take Exit 64 (Moana Lane) • go west on Moana • right onto S. Virginia. The U-Haul is immediately on your left, after the Walgreen's.

10400 S. Virginia 851-4030 - From northbound Route 395, just north of Steamboat is an interchange with Routes 431 and 341 (Mt. Rose Highway & Comstock Highway). About 1/4 mile after that, Route 395 veers to the right while the road that continues straight is S. Virginia - this is Exit 57B. You want to go straight onto S. Virginia, the U-Haul is about 2 miles up the road. To get back to Route 395, continue north on S. Virginia and look for signs.

 

Amerigas is a good supplier for Burning Man.  You can buy or exchange a propane tank 24/7 (with a credit card) or get a tank filled from 9:00 am to 4:45 pm on weekdays.

720 Glendale Ave in Sparks. 358-5246 From Rt. 80, take Exit 17, Rock Blvd. • go south on Rock lvd. • go east on Glendale Ave. - it's about 3/4 mile down the road.

 

In Gerlach,  Granite Propane is open during the event.  In 2008, their hours were 10:00 am - noon and 1:00 - 3:00 pm.  I'm not sure if they are open on the weekend.

 

Batteries

 

Batteries Plus - 4898 S Virginia St 825-0566 From Rt. 395, take Exit 63, S. Virginia St. • go north on S. Virgina St. (a right turn), it's just past the first 4-way intersection (Kietzke Lane).

 

Fabric and Craft Stores

 

Home Fabrics in the shopping center at Plumb Lane and Kietzke Blvd. 900 E. Plumb Lane 826-4544 - If you need cheap home decor fabric, fake oriental rugs, or foam, this is a great place. The $2 a yard fabric is in back; the selection is good. More expensive fabric is up front, and it's still not too pricey. In July 2007, they had beautiful fabric embroidered with sequins for $9.99 a yard. Open Mon - Sat 10:00 am - 6:00 pm, Sun 10:00 am - 5:00 pm.

Mill End Fabrics 1745 Kuenzli (@ Kietzke Lane) 322-5844 - They have a huge assortment of upholstery, foam, vinyl, bolt ends, and 15,000 square feet of general fabric, sewing stuff. Their prices are reasonable, but not as cheap as I've seen at discount fabric stores. But it's still worth a visit for the selection. In July 2007, they had spandex for $8 a pound and leather for $5 a square foot. Open Mon - Fri 9:00 am - 6:00, Sat 9:30 - 6:00 pm.

Shopping By Freeway Exit

 

Reno has lots of shopping centers close to the freeways. I've listed the businesses close to each exit, so you can do your shopping with maximum efficiency!

 

Note that Route 80 runs east-west connecting Sparks and Reno. Route 395 runs north-south along Reno and intersects Route 80 between Sparks and Reno. In general, people travelling from California will find Route 80 exits more convenient. Folks travelling from the south will generally find Route 395 exits and Sparks exits off Route 80 more convenient. If you fly into the airport, you'll arrive right at Exit 65 off Route 395 and will be close to almost everything. Be advised that recent growth in the region has been focussed in the sourthern areas along Route 395, so you may end up there even if it is a little out of the way.

Gutterpup, who lives near Reno, says,

 

"Take the exit to Route 395 North (Susanville), merge one lane left (the lane you're in will exit onto Oddie Blvd). Take the North Mc Carren Exit, #70. Go Right. You will see a shopping center on the right with Wal-Mart and Winco Foods. (Glance left... hey, there's Home Depot! Pick up your last minute building supplies!) What could be better, Dry Ice and Building materials on the same street!"

These are excellent directions, this shopping center is convenient when travelling east on Route 80. And he means it when he says to merge one lane left!
