Whether you're from a small town or you're just passing through one, the general store is a very important part of your life. Back in the day, these general stores are what kept the towns thriving. They had everything anyone in the town needed—food, meds, tools, hunting gear, sometimes even livestock. Now, general stores are still an important part of any country living and they're still selling all kinds of things you need. Heck, you don't even have to be from that town to appreciate an amazing general store when you see one.
