Sunrise Grocery is packed with everything from gnomes to original art to handmade soap to toys and even jalapeño jams and jellies! But... The main reason to stop by? Their unbelievably delicious boiled peanuts, made fresh daily in cast iron kettles. Do not leave without buying a bag (or several!) read more

They have beautiful photos framed in a room. We loved the chocolate covered peanut clusters. They do have an old fashioned bathroom. Very friendly lady behind the counter. read more

Sunrise Grocery - Boiled peanuts and grocery - Grocery Near Me - Blairsville, Georgia

Very historic little shop. Very small but has a little of everything. There's an eclectic selection. Lots of local things, as well as shirts, food, peanuts (boiled & roasted), ceramics, apple fritters, apple bread, body lotions, candles, etc. It won't take long to walk through this entire place. Nice place to take a stretch and enjoy the historic building. Very friendly people. Wish more things were clearly priced. Would have purchased a couple things, but didn't want to walk up with 4 things to ask price of them as it is a small place and there were people in there. Maybe it was just the things I grabbed/saw (apple fritter, apple bread, whipped body lotion). They do have a sale rack of clothes. read more

Friendly staff, variety of gifts, and boiled peanuts were AMAZING!!! Beautiful photography available for purchase in many formats. This is the type of mountain town store I grew up with. read more

Love this place, variety of stuff for common folks and hikers. Love the room with all the artwork of the owner. Be sure to take a look at his artwork and ask where the gallery is located with other pieces of his work. Will visit again in the future. read more

There is no reason to give this rustic rest stop on our way to the northern end of Georgia mountains less than the tribute of 5 stars. Sunrise Grocery popped up on our GPS as a must stop and do a bit of a walk about to shake numb legs from a long drive. I'm looking for a parking spot, and we sure got lucky; right up front but not blocking the lone gas pump. Oh, this is a delightfully quaint and rickety fantastic old building with aisles of locally made goodness. Artwork made from photographs is proudly displayed, and homemade soaps and jars of jams are a central theme. The produce is centered on a colorfully red ball of beefsteak tomatoes and Vine ripened watermelons and Georgia peaches. We made the friendly couple running this Sunrise Grocery country store a big happy part of our buying spree, and of course, we got the famous boiled peanuts, the Cajun taste. A fun picture taking moment outside where the boiling kettles are and a quick use as permitted to use a clean red door outhouse, and we are back on the road again. Sunrise Grocery on the 19 highway just south of Blairsville, GA. Stop, and you won't be disappointed. read more

Super cool little store at the foot of Blood Mountain. Super close to Vogel state park. Great local produce and other products. Has a large selection for a small grocery. Super nice people who own and run it. Please stop in and get a treat and support a local small business! read more

Sunrise has the best fresh produce, local jams & jellies and boiled peanuts. They have handmade soaps as well. The atmosphere is very fun and definitely makes you feel like you are in the mountains with the old country store theme! The owner is also a great photographer as well if you're looking for some statement pieces for your home/business! read more

My family had shopped and visited at Sunrise for years while camping at Vogel SP. The owner is so nice and welcoming and he's a great photographer so be sure to check out the gallery inside. They have handmade soaps, candles, and goodies on top of fresh produce and basic grocery items. The big hit is the boiled peanuts so make sure you get there early enough because they will sell out. read more

Sunrise Grocery - a woman shopping in a grocery store - Grocery Near Me - Blairsville, Georgia

Great place to stop and grab few items and even fuel up, also great art pieces for purchase.

A visit to Vogel State park after thanksgiving this year and just down the road is Sunrise Grocery. It's like stepping into the past era of a roadside grocery stores. Stuff you need, stuff you can't live without and stuff you won't find anywhere else. Their hot boiled peanuts are awesome and so is their hot cider. The folks are friendly and the place is clean and we stopped in twice to get snacks and a few essentials. Do yourself a solid and make this place a planned stop if your in the area. You'll be glad you did. read more

Great old time country store I've been telling family and friends very friendly people that offer help and knowledge of the area.

This is a one of a kind stop. Yes, they have gasoline but that is just what puts it in the "convenience store" category. If you are headed to the Appalachian Trailhead on Blood Mountain make sure you stop in and see Jason and his family. They"ve been running this biz since the 1920's and they have the BEST boiled peanuts around!! You'll find a little of everything from crickets for fishin' to crafts from local artists. And of course buy you a Coke and some camping supplies! Its a lil' piece of Americana that makes the Hills of North Georgia so special. read more

Sunrise Grocery - Sunrise Grocery Country Store - Grocery Near Me - Blairsville, Georgia

A place you must visit if you are riding either the Six Gap or The Gauntlet motorcycle routes in north Georgia. The store is nestled between Blood Mountain and Richard B Russell Scenic Highway, about a dozen miles from Brasstown Bald. Try the peanut butter and dark chocolate buckeyes that you can purchase at the register. Also, essential for the motorcyclist, there is paved parking, two gasoline pumps, clean bathrooms, and lots of things to eat and drink. It is the perfect stop between riding the twisties. The staff is super friendly, and is happy to have motorcycles stopping by. Stop in for fresh local produce and great items such as unique local jellies, jams, and hot sauces. There are also adorable garden decorations for you to take home so that you can remember the beautiful mountains and friendly communities in N GA. read more

Many places are closed here in town to n Sunday. We absolutely loved the gas pumps! There was a customers actually getting gas! We will be getting gas tomorrow! We recommend this shops for shop, gifts, wood, food or wall hanging mountain photos. read more

I was there about this time a week ago today. I spent quite a bit of money here over the several days I was at the nearby state park. No Covid regulations here, but up to this point cashiers treated me respectfully while wearing my mask. I went in to buy some soap on the way to the airport for a coworker who had a birthday the next day. I was the only customer. I was trying to smell the soap through my mask to see what she might like. The two employees started laughing... I looked up and they were both looking directly at me. I asked them why they were laughing and they continued to giggle looking at me right in the eye. When I checked out the cashier continued to hold back her giggle, and tossed my debit card on the counter, rather than politely handing it to me. I have always shopped here on my annual visits for produce, boiled peanuts, etc. It was the most disappointing encounter I have ever had at a merchant. I can only assume it was because I was wearing my k95 mask. As a RN from Miami who regularly tests for Covid, lives in an area where there have been almost 180000 cases, 4000 deaths, my son's best friend's father has died, and I have known many unable to go to work after spending weeks in the hospital...masks are no laughing matter to me. Cases may be low in your area, but with tourists coming in to experience a mountain getaway... that may change. Maybe be more respectful of those coming in to spend money in your store during a pandemic. Very disappointing. read more

Phenomenal, absolutely stellar store in the North Georgia mountains run by a Vietnam veteran leatherneck (Semper Fi). They sell just about everything you could want at a country store as well as gasoline, but the service and the warm feeling is what makes this place top notch. It is truly a piece of Southern culture and mountain culture that makes this country so great. read more

Awesome deal on firewood when we go to Vogel. Boiled peanuts, firewood candies, jams, etc... Love this store! :) read more

Sunrise Grocery - Pumpkins at Sunrise Grocery (October 2012) - Grocery Near Me - Blairsville, Georgia

RIGHT ON THE WAY! This little grocery store is the perfect stop if you are camping in the area or leaving the city of Blairsville. They carry groceries, firewood, produce, souvenirs, boiled peanuts and other items that you may need. You can even get your gas here! They had a really nice selection of ciders including apple, peach, muscadine, blackberry and other flavors. We decided to purchase the muscadine and peach flavors. Now, I prefer to have 100% juice with no added sugar but I was really curious about these drinks. Although they were a little sweet for me, they were really authentic in taste and definitely would be a better choice than pop or other carbonated beverages. I have to say that their roasted peanuts are the real deal. They were very fresh, lightly toasted without salt and absolutely delicious! If you purchase these make sure that they are packed and placed out of reach in the rear of your vehicle because they are so tempting. I ate these as we drove home and made a tremendous mess in my van. However, they were so worth it!! Stop by and say hey! read more

LOVED this little grocery store. One of my engagement couples led me here as their favorite mountain grocery and a MUST on their list of locations for photographs before heading back to make dinner. The store was filled with fresh produce, locally made jams, honey, and so much more. Not just foods, but many handmade items by local artisans adorned the shelves. Jason was super friendly and his store was neat and clean. I would much rather shop here and support a wonderful local business before walking into one of the big chains for groceries! read more

We stumbled in on this true mountain treasure 35 years ago when Jason's grandparents ran the store. Boy what a lucky stumble that was! Over the years we have grown to count Jason and his trusty sidekick, Beverly, as family. There is so much to see and enjoy in this quaint little store. We have introduced our children and now our grandchildren to Jason's world famous boiled peanuts. We proudly wear our old timer's t-shirts (short sleeve in summer and long sleeve in the fall) all year. We have took home flower pots, bird feeders, toad houses, books, pictures and of course tons of peanuts, homemade candies, jams, jellies and delicious fried pies. Jason also has the best price on ice and firewood around for us campers. Please be sure to stop in - it's an awesome experience that you will come back to over and over again! read more

LOVE this little Family-owned gem! The staff are always friendly and helpful. It is a fun place to browse for local hand-made goods and goodies, local art, and very unique items. We are addicted to their "World Famous" fresh hot boiled peanuts. We cannot help but dig into the bag the minute we get in our car. Best selection of fresh apples we found in the Autumn, and best selection of fresh tomatoes we found all Summer long. Make to sure to make at least one visit in the Autumn to see the pumpkin patch area! Thanks Sunrise for making each visit a very homey and pleasant experience. read more

Beautiful location and setting.. Southern charm abounds in the regulars you meet and especially the owners, and you must NOT forget to get a back of the best boiled peanuts in N. Ga! read more

Sunrise Grocery is one of my favorite places! I discovered Sunrise about 7 years ago and never miss a chance to stop by when I'm in that neck of the woods. I sometimes get a snack on my way to the nearby waterfalls. I highly recommend their local honey. And I enjoy their fresh, local, free-range eggs. Through the years, I have also found lovely treasures for my home... throw pillow, small table, quilt and a gnome home, to name a few. The handmade soaps they sell are SCENTsational! Sunrise is owned and operated by an adorable family and it's a local treasure. read more

Many spots in Appalachia attempt to recreate what once was, but very few just are. Sunrise Grocery IS what once was. They are the same place my mom pulled into with five girls packed into a Caprice Classic station wagon like Vienna Sausages in a can. She could get gas at a fair price, a bag of potato chips or boiled peanuts, and a pack of bologna for lunch. You always got good conversation, found out about recent bear visits, and got some good local fresh produce. I still stop by Sunrise every Wednesday when we head up to Vogel. My boys know there is only one place around to get good boiled peanuts, a cold drink, a hunk of old fashioned cheddar cheese, and a Davey Crocket hat. Want to know about local hiking trails, great home remedies, creative canning ideas, grab a mountain souvenir, try some fried pies, candied pralines, see local artisans/crafters work, or just get basic supplies? This is your spot. And if you're fishing, you'll want to grab crickets--watching the crickets is a favorite activity of my boys. Sunrise is the Whistle Stop of the mountains . . . and if you haven't been, you've missed the heart of Blood Mountain. read more

This is my favorite store. They are always friendly and helpful. They have unique items that make perfect gifts. I can't even begin to describe how awesome their boiled peanuts taste! As a bonus, the owner's daughter makes the BEST homemade cupcakes known to man! They have a ton of local products from pottery to produce to sauces. If you are staying at Vogel State Park or if you are just passing through Blairsville, this is a place you MUST visit. You will be glad you stopped. read more
