Located only a mile or so from our RV site at Apple Valley Farms. I fueled up the Jeep here before heading out for the day, the pumps are old so there is no "pay at the pump" option but they worked just fine, it was kinda cool the pumps are all metal no plastic parts so there's lots banging and clanging when removing and replacing the nozzle. The interior of the store as you'd expect in such a remote location is filled with a little bit of everything and not a lot of anything with the exception of the wine section, it seemed to be well stocked. The young woman tending the store today was very friendly and full of local knowledge. It's a great place to grab a few items but definitely not a place you'd want to shop for all your needs - it's definitely a niche business so the prices are what they are and it's convenient, it certainly can save you a long drive and save you lots of time...

It's fine for what it is. You don't have much choice. There's convenience price but other than that…read moreit's very clean and well attended.

Sadly, they don't carry R.O.'s cole slaw

Though this store is closer to us than any other, we are not willing to purchase only what INGLES wants us to have rather than the brands we prefer (that were formerly in stock there).

It is an OK store with a moderate selection - but I was disappointed to see that it was mainly…read morepackaged goods you can find in most any convenience store. Of course, that is good for mountain tourists nearby who need the necessities because they have nothing, but I expected more. There was a good amount of southern/homestyle canned jams & jellies marketed to tourists visiting (which could be found at many gift shops in this part of the country), but none were necessarily local. We did pick out a peaches and pecans jam that ended up being awesome on freshly toasted sourdough though. We really wanted there to be more fresh vegetables, but it was slim pickings with just some scraps of not-so-great looking lettuce heads, carrots, and cucumbers. They did however have a nice deli in the far back with some interesting cheeses, as well as some options for pre-packaged and ready-to-eat meats/meals in the coolers adjacent to the deli case. The primary thing stocked here overall seems to be snack foods - of which, there is a good variety, but the shelves felt unnecessarily bare elsewhere and what was there was pretty generic. Service was OK, but from our experience getting cheese from the deli, it was evident that is not a typical request because it took awhile to square it all away. Overall, you'll be able to get some things to stock your pantry, but lowered expectations are necessary.

The exterior of Thompson's grocery store could be original, based on appearance, but the interior is like a state of the art modern grocery store. I went in there once to purchase bananas and the young woman, probably local from her genuinely friendly & helpful attitude, said that they did not have any bananas but the the Hardware Store down the street did have bananas. Don't you just love the small towns and their friendly ways...

Our son Caleb had ran out of formula and I went out to get some. CVS was closed, the grocery stores were closed. I knew they wouldn't have it so I stopped anyways. One of the owners was in there, real sweet lady. I asked her "you don't happen to sell any baby formula?" She said "no." As I was walking out the door, dreading heading to Hendersonville or Spartanburg; she asked "does your baby need formula?" I told her "yes, we just ran out." Anyways she went outside to her vehicle and gave me two cans of formula and wouldn't take anything for them. From that point on I was sold. Those are the kind of people I want to give my business. I'll never forget it, and I'll always be grateful for her random act of kindness
