    closed up tight after hours

    The Davis Company General Store looks pretty good, in business for one hundred and eleven years and still a vital concern. The red brick store is next to a large shed on a patch of gravel east of the tracks. According to reliable sources the bricks were made from local clay dug on site with the interior divided into 'the store' with floor to ceiling shelving lining the north and east walls; a long narrow 'store room' originally used for seed and flour; and an L-shaped balcony up above. Inside are examples of early Mecklenburg County tech gear including a working 1922 cash register; an early Coca-Cola bottle-opener; remnants of a wall-box which contained the first telephone in the area; the earlist of fire suppression systems, and other bits of old timey merchantilism including an variety of scales and measures and assorted accoutrements. Davis General Store isn't just a historical attraction though, it is an active and thriving business ready to satisfy the wants and needs of the local citizenry and tourist alike. Both aisles on the main floor are full of merchandise from home style preserves and relishes to turnbuckles and household cleaners to work boots and socks. Tools and cast iron in the back room, outdoors clothing upstairs, feed and seed in the shed next door... it's little house with a credit card reader and I'm a fan!

    Always an adventure! And I always find something I need plus some fun treats. And it's always a pleasure talking to the employee(s)!

    Very nice people very nice reasonable place has almost everything that you need,, Fair prices go…read morecheck them out !! You would be amazed of the cheap prices . They even cut glass if you need a window pain . It's an older version of my childhood kinda folks. I love it they even wrapped the glass in brown paper bag material sold me everything I needed to put my window in myself and explained to me how to do it the older lady did I was very surprised by her and we talked minutes . They made me so comfortable the feeling was like family.. Oh and yes it's a family owned business. I'm looking forward to returning .. I learned how to save money and did the repair job on my window thanks to the knowledgeable lady the women that works there are phenomenal

    Luke's review prompted me to bring my little purchase to a local business, rather than the chain…read morestores all around me. I found that his friendly experience was not unusual. The same fella greeted me and called me "boss man" about 30 times as we talked about various ant and beetle killers. Their selection is limited, but seemed to focus more on plumbing and gardening supplies than traditional hardware. Maybe that is the niche they have carved out to survive in. Now, Luke did leave something out. I suspect that he wanted to avoid being indelicate, but I think it bears mentioning. This friendly, helpful clerk patrolling the floors and calling everyone "boss man" looks indigent. He is scrawny, dirty, and missing all of his front teeth. Friendly as hell, but quite a sight. I'm only saying it so you aren't alarmed when he approaches you.
