Buchanan's Store

Very nice people and a fun place to look around.

A hole in the wall with a sign that says, "if we don't have it, you don't need it". This store is about the size of your living room and kitchen. It has such an eclectic stash of merchandise that I left bewildered. My purchases: old fashioned candy sticks, a wedge of "hoop" cheese, a child's sensory toy, and a freshly made fried bologna & cheese sandwich. I left behind: the 10" fishing lures, log chains, hand dipped ice cream, t-shirts, and a ton more oddities.

They have seating now and have grown so much. I have always loved this store as a kid and only getting to visit on our yearly camping visits. But now you can get lake treats, visitors products, needs and necessities, a deli sandwich, bbq, hotdogs, and of course ice cream and milkshakes! I love the look of this place and the inside it just that much more eccentric and quaint.

This is the cutest little country store! They had lots of different things from fishing gear to t-shirts! They have lots of different flavors of hand dipped ice cream, breakfast sandwiches and lunch items! There are lots of coolers for ice and even an area outside with plants and flowers! Definitely a place to stop and check out!

A timeless jewel in the middle of the countryside. In business since 1878. Stop by for the quaint country charm, and stay for their famous fried bologna sandwiches. What a joy it was to happen upon this little old country store, with people sitting on the porch chatting about the day's news. The staff was incredibly friendly, an expected part of Southern charm. Very close to Kerr Lake, this little country store has all the supplies you might need for your pantry, to get some fishing in by the lake, or to supply your RV. Outside in a bit of an open-air market fashion, is a fenced-in area complete with flowering plants to purchase, and all kinds of outdoor yard art you may or may not need. Outdoors you'll also find tables to sit and relax, during beautiful weather, while you enjoy the lunch from the deli inside. Not really on the way to anywhere in particular, but definitely a stop worth the detour from your traveled path.
