The Clayton General Store is located in the Carolina Premium Outlets in Smithfield. I was welcomed…read moreimmediately when I walked in the door. The store sells a little bit of everything from stationery to local NC products like honey, jams, Atkinson Mill products, soaps. Then there were records and cds; signs and such with sayings; lawn decor; ice cream and candy. Antiques were also in the store but those seemed to be store decor rather than for sale but added to the old time vibes of the store. I will be making return trips to shop here again.

A very rude, vile young lady who obviously hates her job as a cashier and customer service representative. She rang my items up incorrectly three times and when I corrected her, I got the " hissing sound" of the young ladies that are angry they were corrected. I watched in silence and was astounding that this young lady is on the front lines of waiting on customers. I asked for managers and names. As I was leaving, I did run into Austin, and we discussed what Miss Serenity did. His comment was " thats unacceptable and she will be written up." I am definitely not trying to get this young lady in trouble, maybe a 2nd time around in customer training is what needs to happen. Serenity, do better babe! Do better!

We love this place. We started coming for just the meat department. They consistently have good…read morequality cuts of meat for decent prices. We periodically call in special orders as well, and have always been more than satisfied. Their produce dept has gotten progressively better over the last year or so, too. I used to avoid the produce dept and go straight to the meat counter, but I have noticed over the last couple of months that their produce offerings are significantly better than they used to be. Fresher, local options, and more variety. And it seems like the people who work there actually enjoy working there. One of the few places where they still take your groceries to your car for you, which is especially nice when I have my 2 small kids with me.

They were quick, polite, professional, and friendly. Definitely five stars for the pharmacy team. After that, I went over to the deli to grab a few things. This was my first time visiting this store, and I was really impressed with how clean, bright, and organized everything was. It is a nice setup, and I think I will really enjoy shopping here. The only thing that threw me off a little was something that happened at the deli. While I was trying to look at the rotisserie chicken, a man who looked like a maintenance worker came and stood right in front of me and another shopper. He started moving and lining up all the chicken packages on the shelves, touching every box, and completely blocked us the whole time. He did not say anything or make room for customers, and it just felt kind of awkward. He did not seem to be a deli worker, but he went through the little side door that employees use afterward, so I guess he works there. It was just odd seeing someone who is not part of the deli team handling the hot food packages like that. Other than that, everything else was great. I used self-checkout on my way out, and the staff there were super helpful and friendly when I needed help fixing a double scan. Would I go back? Yes, absolutely. I think it is a great store overall, but if I see that same guy handling the deli food again, I will definitely bring it to a manager's attention.

The store is always clean and well laid out. One of my favorite purchases is their beef tenderloin steaks and the bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers.

Really nothing bad to say. They check all the boxes for a quality grocery store.

The walls are decorated in sports memorabilia and September 11th tributes. When you walk in, you will see the Statue of Liberty. I tried to sit in the Mets section, but that was taken as it is a busy place, so I sat near the Yankees. I was ok with the photo of Don Mattingly and don't hate the Yankees, I just love the Mets. I made sure to spend some time in that section before leaving, seeing the 1986 tributes to Mike Piazza, Jose Reyes, and David Wright. It is just fun to be surrounded by the memorabilia. The sandwiches also follow in the New York theme. I ordered the Mr. Met, it had ham, turkey, and roast beef with lettuce, provolone, and tomatoes. I've had it before, so I knew it was good and ordered the full size rather than a half. I enjoyed every bite of it. The service was friendly, and they have daily specials with a different sub featured each day. The food was prepared fresh and fast. If you are looking for a high-quality sub, this is the place to order from.
