A Trip To One Of The Oldest General Stores In Montana Is Like Stepping Back In Time
Montana’s general stores offer a glimpse into its history — and luckily, our state still has plenty of them. Each of our small town general stores is a symbol of hope, proof that small family businesses can survive and thrive through centuries. The next time you’re in Augusta, check out Allen’s Manix Store, also known as The Trading Post.
And with a population of just 318, there's no mistaking this place for a major city.
It has been owned and operated by the Allen family for almost half a century. Susie Allen currently runs the store, taking over when she was only 20 years old in the 1970s.
That's why the store always has a great supply of souvenirs, plus plenty of hunting and fishing supplies.
The motto here is "If we don't have it, you don't need it."
It's especially well-known for its mouthwatering maple bars.
Those are some great hours for a family-run business.
