Take a walk back in time to the 60's & 70's. This local neighborhood store is just that, a bit of…read morenostalgia. It's in the middle of nowhere to be quite honest with you. The store shows its age, there are things placed here and there, so remember to take a good look, you might actually find what you've been looking for. It's always nice when you accidentally run across something you haven't seen in 40+ years. That's how I felt about Shelton's Store. It reminded me of my local convenience store in my neighborhood when I was 5 years old. If I had a dime, it magically turned into a candy bar once inside the store. :)

Let me start by saying this place is NOT a regular gas station or store. When you walk in, you step…read moreback in time and that's what I love most about it. It has charm and character you won't find in a Shell or Speedway. There is usually a group of regulars hanging out at the front chatting. The store is surprisingly large but dark and pretty dusty. The variety of items on the shelves is actually pretty funny and some of them look like they have been there for 40+ years. The couple that runs the place keeps a notebook with all transactions hand written in it. You can get homemade deli sandwiches on the super soft white bread that sticks to the roof of your mouth when you take a bite. Nothing fancy but it's nice to get lunch for 2 for less than $10 anywhere these days. They serve breakfast as well but I haven't made it in to try that yet. They also sell fuel but you can't pay at the pump. I would find that annoying some places but it just makes sense here. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of places left like Shelton's.

They have various camping necessities (for those of us that always forget something). They have ICE! and random Lake Cumberland knick knacks. We've always had a great experience. The employees are super nice and helpful.

So shocked to find out that they removed most of the camping necessities this year. We went in to…read morepurchase some items and most all of the coolers had been removed and replaced with reptiles, such as snakes & turtles. They do still carry ice and candy bars but I don't think this is a "Country Store." You will now have to go down to the State Dock marina for camping or boating supplies. I specifically came in looking for Mary Lou's beer cheese that they've carried in the past & crackers. My husband was disappointed that the beer coolers were gone.

Amenities: *Prices are in line with the area *Marathon rewards program *Soap, squeegee, and paper towels.
