PLEYTO, Monterey County — October 2026. For people traveling Jolon Road between the Pleyto area and Lake San Antonio’s North Shore, the family-run Pleyto Store offers a nearby stop for fuel and everyday provisions. Its operator, Bendarock Inc., identifies the business at 70210 Jolon Road, Bradley, CA 93426.

A rural business with a local ownership story

On the store’s own business page, Larry and Denise Hayes say they purchased the property in 2021 and reopened it in September of that year after improvements. The company’s description says the store is run by the family also associated with Pine Canyon Store. This history is operator-provided, not independently verified corporate ownership documentation.

What does the store say it offers?

According to its website, Pleyto Store provides gasoline and diesel, common snacks and drinks, ice, boating accessories, lake-oriented supplies and life vests. The business says fuel pumps offer pay-at-the-pump service beyond normal store hours and also advertises RV and boat storage. The listing does not establish live fuel prices, guaranteed stock or available storage capacity, so travelers should verify those details directly rather than relying on the general description.

Published hours and contact

The store lists Monday–Friday 6 a.m.–8 p.m. and Saturday–Sunday 7 a.m.–8 p.m., with phone number (831) 241-1532. Those are published normal hours and may change on holidays or during operational interruptions. The location is near lake access roads, but retail hours are separate from the county’s entry-gate and mandatory boat-inspection schedule.

Why such stops matter in southern Monterey County

For a dispersed rural community, a nearby source of fuel and basic supplies can reduce the need for longer trips into larger towns. For visitors, the store is a convenient place to check for last-minute provisions while respecting the lake’s inspection rules.
