SERVING HAWTHORNE SINCE 1993

A Local Shop That
Knows Your Name

For over 30 years, Riding Road News Express has been the heartbeat of Hawthorne. We’re not just a convenience store; we’re a family-owned staple where locals meet, stories are shared, and your usual morning order is ready before you even ask.

It’s that personal touch—remembering faces, celebrating milestones, and serving our neighborhood—that makes our shop feel like home.

TIME-SAVING CONVENIENCE

One Stop.
Zero Hassle.
