Abandoned Dennis General Store - Dennis, TX

[@StantonsJourneys]

Love these old mom and pop stores, thank you for sharing.

[@jennifergarrett6809]

Something Kayla didn't say is that the store use to be owned by Clint and Virginia Petrie. Virginia was the post mistress for 30 years and ran the post office out of the store. Clint delivered mail. They were the ones who built the post office behind the store. Virginia showed me pictures one time when they were celebrating the anniversary of Dennis. I think she said they sold the store a number of years ago.

Man...I miss living in a city like this...I wish we could just go back to this way of life...simple and wholesome...and not ruined by mega rich people.

[@DavidSmith-sb2ix]

When I was a kid there were dozens of stores like this in my town. One on every corner and the owners made a living from them.

[@JJMCB26]

I like the old-school Coca-Cola sign, reminds me of something I'd see at a local chippy when I was a kid back in the '90s.

[@SaltBranchFarm]

Great vid! The wood frame on the end used to be the bait shop. They used sell minnows for fishing in the Brazos.

[@jodyrayvictor]

The windmill behind the building just makes it better. Cool find.

[@sayvianhollimon3118]

This little spot and the surrounding areas are so American! It's so sad that people were trying to break in/ vandalize to this little gem! Donuts were probably so tasty.... great.... now I want a mom n pop style donut

[@RichardDremdenWolf]

_Love the vintage old General stores like this. Don't see many like this anymore. I also see we both have lovely trolls for our outtros. Kara just loves doing that to me every chance she gets. LOL._

[@letapearson2043]

Hello! This is a great place, it was so nice to hear Kayla talk about her childhood memories! Those donuts 🍩 must have been great! Thanks for the upload, great video!

[@amanacatandhisdog8836]

I love a couple hours from here. Very interesting. Thanks for documenting

[@a-van3039]

Another amazing video by you two!

[@bigredman32]

Hey I passed many times when I lived down the road outside of lipan when I worked at the pilot truck stop

[@GhostTweeHubBub]

Good find, good find. Donuts & food in general seem to be the best from the small Mom & Pop places like this one.

[@brendakrieger7000]

Nice! My first job was at a family owned bakery. Thank you for sharing🍩🍩🍩

[@news89]

Mmm donuts 🍩 that sounds good right meow. That coke sign looks awesome. Wallie's General Stop and Donuts coming soon.

[@ManiacalMichael504]

I remember several places like this down South. All gone today. At least the old Cigarette dispenser is still there. A lot is gone today, but their greatest asset was their People. Yes, those sort of places had two old Gasboy pumps. Thanks for doing these videos.

[@ZeeMann_Retail]

Awesome find!! Keep up the great work!

[@michaelhardy8589]

Cool video 👍 job

[@buddy8225]

That would a sweet building to own. Great location, put a little mom and pop coffee shop in it. Awesomesauce. 😀

[@BryanL33]

Cool video guys, I drive by this store almost every day...love the area and living here. About 1000 feet north up 1189 there is an old stone building on the east side of the road, it looks really old and abandoned. Was wondering if Kayla may know what that building originally was?

[@knobenz]

Awsome! Great video

[@natureandwildlifewithhunte5849]

I was waiting for this place to get a video!

[@gerardcarriera7052]

Nothing better than living in a small town in the country.

[@DalmationProductions]

I hope you have a great and safe 4th of July weekend Wallie

[@Fred-xf5kx]

I love places like this.

[@chrisjohnson-kz1qy]

So sad people have to destroy places like this

[@sayvianhollimon3118]

I can't wait for 360 views in the new videos thanks to the drone. Keep it up and you should be at 100k very soon👍👍

[@georgetrains6168]

Very cool little video guys

[@carcrasher88YT]

Such a shame, a nice little place like that, left to fall apart. I'd bet the donuts were exceptional. Makes me think of this place up here in NY, another little family run place, that serves SUPER good apple cider donuts. If you're ever up in the Capital or Mid-Hudson region, by any chance in the future, you've gotta check them out. Golden Harvest Farms in Valatie (Columbia County). They have fruit, vegetables, grow their own apples, bake their own cider donuts and other pastries, as well as pies, as well as making their own cider...and they even have their own distillery around the back, Harvest Spirits. The place is absolutely exceptional, and I highly recommend it to anyone who ever happens across it. Anyway, it's also awesome to hear Kayla's childhood memories from places like this, makes this channel and it's videos that much more enjoyable to watch.

[@garbage854]

Very nice 😀

[@paulfisher128]

Another good video, always like them

Brighten video Wally keep them coming

[@MrIceman22]

[@shanemorgan6492]

[@alanlough638]

I like Mom and Pop businesses as well. I bet the donuts were delicious.

[@nhrants4700]

There is an abandoned Burger King restaurant in Lincoln, NE. It’s across the street from the NE state penitentiary.

[@dragon-lf9ow]

I hope they don't decide to tear it down

[@evanwilliams6406]

I see plenty of these places and some of them are still in operation in the rural areas where I live and some of them are abandoned just like this.

[@slackingpacking]

Awesome find dude!

[@prysmis1964]

This place reminds me of a place called "Sweet Home Store and Kitchen" in Sweet Home TX (tiny town near Shiner, population ~350). It was a lot like this one in that it was a little convenience store, but it was also a restaurant. When I was in elementary and middle school my family would go there a lot and I remember having their nachos every time. We never went there again after 2014 because its food went down the drain, though, and in 2016 the place closed and was replaced with "Tastey's Bar and Grill", a much better restaurant with decent service and a better menu (according to reviews anyway). I've never been to it since it reopened as that, though, so I would like to go back there someday and try it out.

[@bobbycarlson4273]

I enjoyed ur videos and I think that you guys are amazing people and I hope to meet you guys in person

[@steffyherself]

Such a cute little place! Too sad it's such in a bad shape...

[@MegaThunder70]

I use to have two coworkers, ones name was Dennis the other was Dallas. I always got their names confused, one day I called for I believe it was Dallas and I was taking to Dennis and he correct me and said I’m Dennis. I then proceeded to say close enough, and a coworker of mine spoke up and said no it’s not have you ever heard of someone saying I’m going down to Dennis Texas? I have now!! I told you guys I was close enough hopefully this will prove it!!

[@zoefaith120]

I love little general gas stations. When I was younger . We had juniors. I say like 2 miles away plus. Back in the day 90's we rode are bikes from my mommys house around the county rides to the church and to junior edges store. Very basic store two pumps for gas. Inside. Old thin wood floors with "cold bottle drinks" kids now yes glass. They had a old new back then colar square tv . I would get a glass drink. Rc colar and moonpie. And then chill and ride bike home too. My mommy even rode her bike there with me as a little dude to get a drink. Gotta love the 80's and the 90's freedoms, we had and use to do and now if we do that with are kids we would go to jail or bad things would happen. Made me think of good old juniors. Junior, past away years ago, not sure of year but the store was took down and they put a house in its spot. Wallie, thank you you bring some good memories back in my head. Good times of the past things,. Sorta faught my age ,but it's the small things about life.

[@maccustoms2295]

That's an awesome little place who knew instead of driving you could ride your horse to get donuts..

[@Mrcruisefever1]

[@butcharmstrong9645]

@@WallieB26 oh that i didnt know. when i looked at the date on the video it said July 3, 2020 so i assumed that was the correct date. sorry.

I really like classic logos like the Coca-Cola one in this video. Thanks to wallie for filming this place and thanks also to Kayla for telling us about this place.

I remember an old store where I grow up when I was in Elementary school my pricnapal at that time didn't want us kids go in that store to get candy and pop but myself and my mom did it anyways it was back in the early 1980's

Hey Wallie, not for sure if you know or not but the Max and Erma's in Robinson closed down. Might be worth a look. Any way great vids, me and the wifey like to watch your videos at the end of the night when we are unwinding.

Those are the best doughnuts than the big chain doughnuts. In Lubbock we have a lot of doughnut shop owners which are mostly Asains & they make the best doughnuts. Sadly our Steak & Shske closed I don't know how long ago.
