Most of us would probably admit that we can find just about everything we could want and need at our neighborhood big box store. But, despite the convenience, those big box stores often lack the charm and the character of old school stores, where you were once greeted by name. Relive a bit of the past when you visit this old-fashioned general store in Rhode Island that sells a little bit of everything.
Don't let the outside of Wilbur's General Store in Little Compton fool you. Once you walk through the front entrance of the charming store, that looks rather small from the outside, you'll realize just how spacious it is.
In fact, the popular neighborhood store, which opened more than a century ago, boasts eight rooms, chock full of just about everything you can imagine, including...
Friendly smiles and warm greetings from staff. Even after decades, the general store remains a spot where old friends meet and catch up and where new friends are made.
So, grab your shopping list and start browsing the eight rooms of goodies - ranging from baked goods and fresh meat to clothes and toys.
On the hunt for the perfect gift? Then, check out the fine gifts (and don't forget to get a card and wrapping paper).
And, if you're working on a home renovation project, head to the well-stocked hardware department or...
Browse the groceries aisles to stock up on all the food and goodies you need.
