Step back in time to a hardware/general store located in the heart of rural WV. This business has survived for well over a century, serving patrons even during the Civil War. Locally owned and operated for decades by a few different families, it's success has been attributed to many locals as well as businesses being able to shop locally from the variety of items the store keeps well-stocked. The store is also frequented by passersby, including motorcyclists that enjoy the scenic drive through central WV. There's a sense of nostalgia that one feels when walking past the front porch swing and entering into the front door that has hung for over 100 years. The store carries quite an array of merchandise, including but not limited to: hardware; electrical supplies; plumbing supplies; gas fittings; pumps; custom in-house cut iron pipe; auto batteries, filters, oil, and belts; livestock feed and straw; and groceries, including beer and tobacco. Starting in early spring the business has provided locals a place to purchase vegetable plants, hanging baskets and soil. The business is a turn-key operation with over 25 different vendors delivering its merchandise. The store is equipped with tele-check and is licensed as a DNR game-checking station as well as licensed to accept food stamps. Bookkeeping is open to prospective buyers with a contract in place, and the current owner is willing to help transition new owners for a limited time after closing. Many locals have expressed their love of the business, hoping that it will continue on for years to come as it has served their community longer than any other business in the county. Located on Rt. 16 in the unincorporated community of Chloe, the store is approximately 12 miles from Interstate 79 and 15 miles to the community of Arnoldsburg.
