Nothing fancy 'bout Blanche's, but that ain't the point…read more Blanche's is a Brooksville icon. Those big soda cans have been teasing & pleasing tourists and locals alike, for a lot of years! Walking in through the screen doors is like stepping on the porch of yesteryear. Once inside, it's a carnival of cool. Fish bait tanks to the left, ceiling covered in NASCAR hoods, signs and things hanging everywhere. It's fun just to browse around checking out the cool memorabilia. Grab a cold beer or soda, and a snack. Boiled peanuts. Get some gas (for your car). They got it all. Blanche's is that 'Big Soda - Welcome to Brooksville' place!

But it's changed names a few times and now it's the 700 store. We stopped in this past weekend just to grab a drink for the road after camping all weekend. it was the same 'ol country store I had always liked stopping into. It has a lot of character, in a small convenient store sort of way. The pumps outside don't work as far as I know, so we parked there. We walked into a few people buying beer and lottery tickets, and they were all chit chatting a bit. Honestly, it made me end up buying a lottery ticket too, wat the heck. But before that we just took in the vibe of the 700. Random construction items, excellent frozen treats, lots of beer, and almost all the camping items you probably forget to get on the way to the area. We had run out of marshmallows the night before and made a note they had them stocked. After grabbing a couple sodas(and those lottery tickets), we were abck on the road. For sure next time we drive buy, we will stop in to just appreciate a good 'ol country tore.
