    Right off highway 70. Pleasant service. Delicious food. You can also find maintenance items here…read more Some things are cheaper here than anywhere else. Worth the stop!

    Driving home from Kansas City in my father's super deluxe wonder-mobile, we were caught behind a…read moremassive accident induced backup when the gas light came on. Fiddling with his dashboard is somewhat like being thrown behind the wheel of the USS Enterprise, so we weren't sure if we had hit the right button when the car delivered it's grim, panic inducing message - 4 miles to empty. With much alacrity, we pulled off the highway to seek a desperately needed refill. To the left was Auxvasse, 6 miles, to the right, Callaway, a mere 3 miles. We decided that Callaway would be a lovely destination and turned south, nervously watching the display and hoping we wouldn't be subjected to yet another 4 hour rescue wait from AAA on this particular road trip. With 1 mile left to empty (and my father having reassured me over the phone that his swank-mobile is quite accurate on these things), we found Wright Brothers Grocery and pulled in with great relief. Ha ha, said Jeff and I, petrol, salvation, hooray for not running out of gas! Alas, Fate, that cruel and fickle bitch, was merely toying with us. Wright Brothers is not actually open on Sundays...foiled. In desperation, Jeff went to speak to some neighbors to see if we could buy enough gas from them to make it to another gas station. Amid a swarm of friendly dogs, we learned that the neighbors,sadly, had empty gas cans (it is lawn mowing season, after all) , but a nice fellow named Joel offered to drive Jeff to the nearest open gas station 7 miles away so he could get enough go-buggy juiceto get us back on the road. I bid Jeff adieu and waited with the car, wondering what horrible thing I'd done in a past life to deserve such rotten luck. I sat, idly watching the dogs buzzing my vehicle and wondering if we could manage to sleep in the car if necessary, when a couple pulled into the lot. "Do you need gas," queried the friendly gentlemen. "Why, indeed I do," I replied. Turns out, this was my lucky day after all. The kind proprietor of Wright Brothers came by his shop to pick up some charcoal and that lovely man turned the pump on for me, saving Jeff and I at least an hour of hassle. Jeff and Joel came back to me gleefully filling the tank, hooray! I went into the store briefly to pay up and was boggled by the vast selection of...everything...contained within. Why, hello, Awesome! This place is floor to rafters stocked with booze, groceries, auto parts, hunting knives, candy, stuff, stuff and more stuff, and I'm pretty sure I spotted several varieties of locally made jerky too, bonus. It's like a modern day general store, I was bummed that I wasn't there on an open day to peruse this amazing store, it looked to be packed with treasures. So, for saving my sorry ass from yet another road disaster and for the wonderful family owned goodness contained within, 5 stars. I'll be sure to stop off here when on this stretch of road to patronize this place and I encourage you to do the same, it's a nifty little establishment with wonderful neighbors and an owner with a heart of gold. Huzzah for Wright Brothers!
