Experience the good old days firsthand at the Hollis Country Store! The rural roadside shop has been in business for decades and has barely changed over the years. One thing has changed, though. It’s no longer just a local favorite. Now, it’s a “must-see” for travelers exploring Arkansas’ Ouachita Mountains.
A roadside stop worth pulling over for, Hollis Country Store is located along the Scenic 7 Byway in the tiny town of Plainview.
Remember, Hollis Country Store is an “old-time, authentic country store,” so the interior is brimming with nostalgic charm – from the digs to the inventory.
Though not huge, the store boasts an amazing mix of merchandise. As you peruse the shelves, you’ll find everything from basic groceries to fishing and hunting supplies.
An on-site lunch counter only adds to the traditional shopping experience. Make sure to grab a bite – Hollis Country Store is famous for its bologna sandwiches.
