The neighborhood stop eastern Durango has counted on for generations. Your one stop for fresh coffee, cold drinks, everyday essentials, and take & bake pizza crafted by us, perfected by you




Long before traffic lights, GPS, and busy highways, there was a simple rule for travelers passing through the open ranchlands east of Durango:
“Turn at Elmore’s.”
What began as a small country store in the early days of La Plata County quickly became a landmark. A place where ranchers, travelers, and neighbors gathered for supplies, conversation, and a quick stop along the road. Over time, the intersection itself became known as Elmore’s Corner.
Today, that tradition continues.
Elmore’s Corner Store has become the kind of place locals rely on and travelers are glad they discovered. Stop in for fresh coffee, hot breakfast burritos, and quick convenience when your day is just getting started. Come back later for pizza by the slice or a Take & Bake pizza to bring home for dinner.
Inside you’ll find a mix of everyday essentials and fun, nostalgic finds — from unique sodas and classic candy to snacks you won’t see in the big chain stores.
And if you’re on the move, the drive-thru makes it easy to grab coffee, food, or quick essentials without even leaving your vehicle.
Whether you're commuting into town, heading home after a long day, or just passing through, Elmore’s Corner Store is still doing what it has always done best:
Serving the people who pass through it.
But the story of how this little corner became a local landmark goes back much further…










Cold drinks. Snacks. Everyday essentials. The stuff you ran out of and don't feel like driving all the way into town for.
Whether it's a cold drink after a long shift, something for the road, or the one thing you forgot on your last grocery run — we've got it.
No membership. No app. No nonsense. Just walk in.

We added 425° Take & Bake Pizza — and eastern Durango hasn't been the same since.
Fresh dough. Real toppings. Six specialty pies or build your own exactly how you want it. Gluten-free crust available. Garlic knots, buffalo wings, cheesy bread, and desserts too.
You bake it in your own oven. It comes out hot, crispy, and better than any delivery that's been sitting in a bag for 40 minutes.
Traditional 16" | Thin Crust 14" or 16" | Gluten Free 12"

What a wonderful place to go for pizza it’s so so good!! Friendly employees who go out of there way. Clean atmosphere. I love this place. Plus a liquor store right here. Easy to grab the beer for a super pizza party!! Nice place. Clean and happy place.


They have the best take & bake pizza! And you can order via text, which is really convenient. Great people working here too.

Yep, and that's the whole point. We make it fresh, you bake it in your own oven at 425°. It comes out hot, crispy, and tasting like you made it from scratch. Takes about 20–25 minutes. Easiest dinner you'll ever pull off and the crust always just how YOU like it. We also have pizza by the slice for when you need something now.
Absolutely. Call or text us at 970.799.0425 and we'll have it ready when you pull up to the drive-thru or when you come in to pair it with whatever craving you may have. No waiting, no guessing. Perfect for the drive home.
Yes. Pick it up today, bake it tonight, tomorrow, or the day after. Keep it in the fridge and it stays fresh. Great for busy nights when you want dinner handled before the chaos starts and do not feel like settling for FROZEN...
That's half the fun. Pick your crust, pick your sauce, load it up with whatever toppings you want (pepperoni, sausage, Canadian bacon, beef, bacon, chicken, black olives, mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, pineapple, jalapeños, or green chili.) Your pizza, your way. Just thinking about this makes me hungry. How about you?
More than you'd expect. Garlic knots, buffalo wings, and cheesy bread to start. Ice cream pies and cookie dough for dessert. Plus a full convenience store (cold drinks, snacks, and everyday essentials). One stop covers a lot.
Not even close. Yes, we carry the everyday essentials but Elmore's has always stocked things you can't find anywhere else around here. Specialty items, hard-to-find products, and a few things that'll make you do a double take. Come in expecting a gas station snack run. Leave surprised. Oh and since we are about convenience, you know those things you forgot while at the grocery store, we might just have it (pet food, condiments, cake mix, cleaning supplies, laundry/dish detergent, and disposable household paper products, just to name a few).
Other than our local history and non franchised tag, walk in and you'll figure it out pretty fast. We carry specialty knives you won't find at a big box store, 3D printed novelty toys that make great gifts, candy from your childhood sitting next to flavors you've never seen before, and drinks that the stores in town simply don't carry. It's the kind of place locals shop because they know something the drive-by crowd doesn't.
We do. Not your average gas station pocket knife rack. If you're a collector, a tradesman, or just someone who appreciates a quality blade, come take a look. The selection changes, so what's in today might not be here next week.
We brew Dazbog Coffee fresh throughout the day. If you've had it, you already know. If you haven't, Dazbog is a premium Colorado-roasted brand that the big chains can't touch for flavor. Hot, fresh, and ready when you need it. No burnt gas station coffee here.
Ask anyone who's been coming here for years. This isn't a pit stop. It's the store eastern Durango has counted on because it carries things nobody else around here does and does it with the kind of familiarity you only get from a locally owned neighborhood store. Come once. You'll understand why people keep coming back. Not to mention, your airport commute can get a little more exciting.
