If youve been in Charlotte for a while, you need to go. Its a welcome step back in time. A very interesting selection of goods with the old school charm that was so common here in the South.

I have been saying I going to go this store for years. I finally went today. Man! Im kicking myself, because I should have went the first time I noticed it years ago. Really nice gentleman there. I love this store! It is really old and it has this cool old smell to it. He has a little bit of everything there it is a true general store. I went there looking for some local honey and yes he had it. I will only be buying honey from here from now on. Please go by and give this awesome store a visit. Support your small local businesses.

This is an awesome place. Go back in time and visit this place. Silas Davis (the owner) was very helpful and was a joy to visit with as well. He had exactly what we were looking for and even had a few boiled peanuts to boot!! Worth a visit!!

I was looking for seeds sold by the ounces. They had a lot of seeds. You spend 1 or 2 dollars for an ounces of seed. It is a lot of seeds. You can share with others. The elder man was very helpful too.

The store has been there for over one hundred years if you cant find it at the big stores then look for it there. I love old stuff and the older I get the more I love it.

If you like old stuff, you’re gonna love this place. The store is old, it smells old, it has old kinda stuff in it, general store items, real sugar Cheer-wine & Coke in glass bottles. Maybe try to buy something, I’m sure the owner hates being a tourist stop. Get ya a tee-shirt and a hat. I did...

This place is so cool. They have a bit of everything and the family is super nice, and local. The shop has been there for over a hundred years and has a classic old general store feel which I love. The hours are unfortunately pretty limited which makes it hard for me and I assume others to go. Its also not well known about, seemingly, which limits its business, I hope it stays around despite this. Definitely will continue to go here when I can and support local small business! Ive found things here I cant find at big name hardware stores and more besides. Jams, nails, yard tools, candy, boots, overalls, cast iron, and so many more things. You have to check this place out. Its open 7-4 Mon, Tues, Thurs, and Fri, and 7-noon on Saturday.

Step back in time in this general store, unchanged i believe, since the 1940s. We enjoyed our visit, and bought many items i think would be hard to find elsewhere. Prices good too!

This is an authentic old fashioned North Carolina train track side feed and hardware store. You can find a little bit of everything in here, but the best thing you will find is the way things used to be.

Horrible experience. Was threatened my owner reaching in his jacket. Then stated he was going to call his “patrol buddy”. Stated there was a sign posted saying you have to pay for group pictures all the way to the right of the building and hand written with no contact information and no pricing. Charged us $35. Then had the audacity to ask us if we wanted to buy something during closed store hours. Great place to take photos, horrible owner.

Love, love, love this place!!! This place has one of the best down home appeals in the area! Especially if one is from an era when life was simpler and less stressful. This place has the old-timey appeal! Coveralls, work boots, seeds, elixers, liniments, Ole Skool is written all over this marvelous place! And the owner is extremely personalable, friendly and commical. Cast iron frying pans, foot tubs, there are things for the horse as well as for the dog. Go check out this impressive place full of nastalgic comforts!👍👏👏👏
