What's here

One stop. Then go enjoy your day.

We're in the middle of the biggest remodel in the store's history. Here is what you'll find today, and what's on the way.

Fuel

Valero gasoline with pay-at-the-pump, right on Route 12. Kerosene and fuel oil too.

Cold beer New

Seven new cooler doors of singles, six-packs and twelve-packs, plus the walk-in Thousand Islands Beer Cave for cases.

Fresh coffee Coming soon

Bean-to-cup coffee, six fresh beans, ground and brewed for every single cup. Hot and iced.

Drinks

Energy drinks, sodas, sports drinks, water and whatever is new this month. If it's cold and you want it, we probably have it.

Snacks & grab-and-go

Candy, chips, jerky, protein snacks, ice cream, and local cheese curds that sell out every week.

Bait, tackle & ice

Fishing supplies, bagged ice, and the best worms in the Thousand Islands.

Propane refillsFilled to the top. Always.

Bring us your tank and we refill it, all the way to the top, every time. It's a real refill, not a trade-in exchange, so you keep your own tank and get a full one back. Same low price for the last 25 years.

Coming soon to our new coffee bar

Fresh bean-to-cup coffee

No pots sitting on a burner. Pick your bean, press the button, and the machine grinds whole beans and brews your cup right then.

Six fresh beans to choose from. Hot coffee and iced coffee. Fresh, every single cup.

New at the store

Thousand Islands Beer Cave

A walk-in cave built for river weekends. Cold, clean and easy to shop, with the big packs inside and singles and six-packs in the doors out front.

Stocking the boat, the cottage or the campsite? Beer, ice and snacks in one stop, and you're back on the road.

The river run

Headed to the water? Stop here first.

Locals, work crews, boaters, cottage owners, campers, families and anglers have been making this their first stop in the Bay for decades.

See you on the river.

Our story

A family store, not a chain.

Bob Williams Valero has served Alexandria Bay every single day for 70 years. Passed down from generation to generation: same family, same location, through every summer rush and every North Country winter.

We know our regulars by name, we hire our neighbors, and we're proud to support Alexandria Central School and the community that has supported us.

Right now we're rebuilding the store inside and out: new coolers, the Thousand Islands Beer Cave, a new front counter, and a beautiful drink and coffee bar. Come see what's changed.
