Good website that talks about old fashioned country stores (click here.) Here are a couple excerpts:
mostly as “convenience stores,” without the look of the ugly modern convenience stores of today, there are many that continue to play the role that they always have, offering everything from canned goods, to gasoline, to farming equipment.”
