Doug & Kristen are two wonderful humans! Fortunately been here a bunch of times over the last two decades while camping at Meeman-Shelby. Couldn't find better people or a better place to grab a burger and perhaps catch some live bluegrass! Not many of these left out there! God Bless Doug&Kristen as well as the Shelby Country Store!❤😊

Back in 1970 us Marines would go there drink beer and eat cold cuts spread on wax paper out back on coke crates. I loved that store.

I really appreciate the insight that Doug has, especially about how we as people view and value our childhoods. He's very compassionate and it's very kind of him to be so committed to preserving that!

My aunt took us kids every day after chores to our little town’s general store just like this place buggers hot off the grill in the back but what I miss most is the big Coca-Cola box the they put new ice in it a couple times a day we raised that lid up stick our hands down in that ice water pull that cook or rc out they pop the top off we go set down order something to eat. Memories

I used to go there every weekend before and sometimes after playing a round of disc golf at Shelby Forest Park. They had a great selection of discs . Great little store. And use to love seeing the hummingbirds that were abundant around the store.

[@stevelogan5475]

Yep

[@johngullo9420]

Cheesesteak looks good but you have to get the roll right. Soft ones don’t do the trick. No general stores here in NJ though.

[@treasurediamond8362]
