For the most part, when references to a country store are made, one thinks of a rather small place such as Buzzy’s Country Store. However, somewhere in my internet travels I landed upon The Big Red Store that at one time called itself “the world’s largest country store.”

Located in Appleton, Tennessee, The Big Red Store of today is not as big as it once was. Note how the roof was rebuilt (photo below.)
Today the Store is more of a museum and is open only a couple times a year. To view their Facebook page click here. I also found this 2010 video (below) filmed when the Store was still open for business.
Like I always tell folks who wander into Buzzy’s and comment on the fact that it is still around and still open “Enjoy it while you can. They aren’t making any more of us.”
