I have lived in the area for the last 5 years. However, I hadn't stopped in here until the most recent owners took over. I'm from down south where these general stores are a little more common in the sticks. One thing that's different with this one is that they sell liquor. I saw that on their Facebook page and that pushed me to stop in. I'm a gin drinker, and they actually have a decent selection compared to a lot of stores here.

It was a fun and different place to visit. The shop keepers were very nice and helpful. It seems like a great and convenient place for locals to shop. It also seems like a great meeting place for Macon residents as there are tables outside to sit and eat or enjoy a drink. I think the owners have done a magnificent job of preserving a piece of the...
