Lone Butte Trade Center #3

Around Chandler, Lone Butte Trade Center #3 has earned its keep as a genuine local favorite, and folks have been coming through since 1978. This is a tobacco shop and the word around town is that the cigarette prices are some of the best you'll find. Regulars will tell you the real savings kick in when you buy by the carton, where ten packs stack up nicely against what you'd pay a pack at a time at the gas station. Beyond cigarettes, they carry cigars and a solid range of smoking accessories.

Take a look at the brand list and you'll see they cover a lot of ground: American Spirit, Camel, Benson & Hedges, Dunhill, Kent, Capri, Carlton, Eve, Doral, Basic, GPC, and Newport, plus roll-your-own staples like Gambler, Bugler, Drum, Top, and Zigzag. Clove smokers can find Djarum, and there's Cheyenne, Cherokee, Kite, McClintock, and more on the shelves too. People who shop here rave about the newer facility. It's clean, well lit at night, easy to reach off the freeway, and there's a big parking lot with no hassle.

One regular mentioned walking in to the smell of fresh popcorn popping at the counter, and the shop keeps a good assortment of drinks and snacks on hand as well. The drive-through gets plenty of love from anyone who'd rather not park, and the service through it is quick. Ask anyone who shops here and they'll mention the staff, always in a good mood and usually stocked with exactly what you came in for. We've heard the odd grumble about a rushed interaction, but that's the exception.

If you're after a fair deal and a clean, easy stop, this tobacco shop in Chandler is worth the drive.
