jmlh Posted October 19, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 19, 2018 We are overnighting at the Crowne Plaza in San Pedro next week and are wondering if there are stores close by (such as a Walgreens). If so, it would save having to pack a few heavy items. Thanks in advance for any information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudiinMt Posted October 19, 2018 #2 Share Posted October 19, 2018 If you have a car - no problem but since we usually UBER from LAX to San Pedro the area around the Crown Plaza is pretty short on shopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmlh Posted October 19, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Thanks for your response. We will also be using Uber so guess I will try to pack everything that we might need (including the heavy mouthwash!!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruin Steve Posted October 19, 2018 #4 Share Posted October 19, 2018 There is a CVS at 700 S. Gaffey...four blocks west and about a block and a half south of the Crowne Plaza (a little over half a mile walk)... https://www.cvs.com/store-locator/cvs-pharmacy-address/700+South+Gaffey+Street-San+Pedro-CA-90731/storeid=9122 For more shopping than that, you'd probably need to take an Uber to Western and Capitol...about 2.5 to 3 miles away...where you'd find a Ralphs Supermarket, Trader Joe's, Sprouts, In 'n' Out Burger and a large neighborhood shopping center... Or to Capitol and Gaffey--about 2 miles away--for the nearest Target store (I guess, theoretically, you could walk that--four blocks west to Gaffey, turn right and a long ugly urban walk). https://www.target.com/sl/san-pedro/2470 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmlh Posted October 19, 2018 Author #5 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Steve, thanks so much for the CVS information. We should be able to get everything we need there thus making our luggage much lighter!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elycelynne Posted October 22, 2018 #6 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Are there other places closer to this hotel where I could at least pick up a 12-pack of Diet Coke? (My needs are simple.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(My needs are simple.) Just a couple more places where you might find a six-pack of Coke... Numero Uno Market is at 5th and Pacific...about two blocks west and one block north of the CP...It's a Hispanic-oriented market...but I'm pretty sure they stock Coke... Also, there's Ocean Liquor...right across Harbor Blvd. from the Cruise Terminal...about five blocks north and one east of the CP... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlp20 Posted October 25, 2018 #8 Share Posted October 25, 2018 About a 15 block round trip to a Von's grocery store and passing a 99 cent store. Not that bad of an area, but don't risk it after dark. Worked this exact area for two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
