I just left here . A fine & interesting place. It reminds me of country stores from my youth. (I'm 74 ) Leave yourself time, and enjoy browsing. The owner is a pleasure and adds to the warmth & personality. Do yourself a favor, go visit.

Like the sign says, General Store- they have everything from farm fresh eggs, Hershey’s ice cream, a wide variety of old fashion candies, and pre-packed hoop cheese. Decorative flags for the house, and so much more. Locally owned and operated by trusted staff.

Love the Wendell General store! They have the best staff and always tons of gift ideas for anyone and my daughter enjoys getting ice cream scooped on the spot and lots of candy/gum choices! They also have old retro candy and toys I haven't seen anywhere before or for a very long time. A super fun and happy place!

My girlfriend and I make it a point to stop in, look around, and grab a soda with real sugar whenever we're walking around enjoying downtown. After reading the other reviews I can't believe we've slept on the ice cream this long! Next time.. Super friendly folks, great atmosphere, always feels like we're treated as old friends. Also, Regina is the best!
