Western Convenience Store

They try and make sure everything is always in stock and clean and the Cashier's are Fantastic at this Location!!

I will never come back to this convenience store and will encourage everyone i know not to as well. I am a delivery driver and came in for a snack and asked to use the bathroom and was told I couldn't. I mentioned I was a delibery driver and thst didn't matter. I am in a vehicle all day and have no other option but to use the gas stations and grocery stores in the area. Super uncool!!

Good place to go at any hour

Western Convenience stores are for the most part nice places to shop and get gas. However store management and location is everything for any business. The Western Convenience store at 1301 Wadsworth Blvd, unfortunately has become victim to both. Since the inclusion of a light rail stop next to it and poor management, this location has gone to the birds. It has become a meeting place for homeless people, drug addicts, criminals and the like. The front of the store is lined with predators looking for their next prey with management asleep at the wheel. Last week I was attacked by a thug in full view of staff and patrons and robbed of over $1,000 in merchandise and my wallet in plain view of over 15 people. I was unconscious and covered in blood but not one person including store employees offered assistance or called either the police or an ambulance for me. I went to the Lakewood Police Department and filed a report after first going back to speak with the stores manager. One of the employees who witnessed the attack the night before said she never contacted the police or called for medical assistance because I never asked her to. Who needs an invitation to call police when they witness a felon assault so vicious it renders the victim unconscious and unable to speak. If you find any of this hard to believe I full understand. I find it hard to believe myself and I was there. I write this review not with malice or a desire to cause Western Convenience a loss of business. I write it out of a core belief it is my duty to worn others of this danger that lurks. Next time you drive by this location after dark, look at the array of non customers lurking about in front, on the side and behind this business. Be careful and please think twice before you put your life at risk over a tank of gas. I am still recovering from my injuries and working with the diligent officers of the Lakewood Police Department to get justice. As for the Lakewood Police Department. They handled my complaint in the most professional manner. At a time when police officers and departments are under fire, I think it only appropriate to write about your positive experiences which I am sure way outweigh the negative. Thank You Lakewood Police for your handling of this matter, and no thank you Western Convenience Store for allowing an atmosphere of criminality to prevail on your property putting your patrons at risk.

The western is a fine place, and staff is very helpful. However it is also right next to the light rail and a bus stop, and for some reason a homeless hangout, so expect a Cadre of rough looking people hanging outside asking for money and cigarettes. Also their ATM has been broken for years, so don't go thinking you'll be able to get money there.
