One Of The Oldest General Stores In Utah Has a Fascinating History

There’s something special about shopping local, though, and this little old general store in St. George reminds us just how much fun local can be! This quaint little shop has been operating for decades, and it’s still every bit as charming as the day it opened.

Judd's General Store opened in 1911.

The shelves of this little store are full of retro soda and candy.

If you have a sweet tooth, this is definitely the place to go.

You'll be swept right back to your childhood days when you see some of the old candy brands available here.

If you grew up in St. George, you remember saving up your nickels and dimes to come here for penny candy.

Even as an adult, when you visit this shop you'll feel the same childlike wonder and excitement that kids have experienced here since 1911. Look at the size of these jawbreakers!

Judd's offers just about every brand of bottled soda that exists.
