Tooling around the underbelly of Arkansas the other week, I was heading north on US 67, which runs from the Mexican border to the Quad Cities, in IA\/IL. Pocahontas was indeed named after the Native American of renown, and not after any current political candidate.<\/p>\n
The town sits 90 miles west of I-55 and the parallel stretch of the Mississippi River. 15 miles north of Walnut Ridge<\/a> (stop there and ask about the Beatles), I did on a previous trip. It’s 35 minutes northwest of Jonesboro.<\/p>\n Seems a local veteran had a dream to create a store that sold only American made<\/a> goods and merchandise, and he did a bang up job, opening on July 4, 2018.<\/p>\n While you won’t see billboards for hundreds of miles ahead of time, like Wall Drug in South Dakota, this store could easily become a destination, leading to other development in this burg. With money and marketing.\u00a0 I did see at least one board, somewhere on the highway south of the city.<\/p>\n To a locavore crazed person like me, this store was a wonderland.\u00a0 Not only are all of the products (everything you could imagine you wanted and then some) – there are a great many from the local surrounding area.\u00a0 Dry goods, home canned goods, meat, baked goods, clothing, tools, decor items,old timey candies, stuff for the house, yard,\u00a0 and more.\u00a0 I could have spent hours here, if I had hours to spend.<\/p>\n Visit their website<\/a>, their Facebook page<\/a>, but most importantly, put it on your bucket list. In the meantime, shop the store online.<\/p>\n Clean restrooms.<\/p>\n They weren’t busy when i stopped by.\u00a0 Had a nice chat with the main dude. About his Seeburg Jukebox.\u00a0 1956 vintage he said.\u00a0 I have a 1952.<\/p>\n American Made General Store Review\u00a0Pocahontas Arkansas American Made General Store Review Pocahontas, AR Tooling around the underbelly of Arkansas the other week, I was heading north on US 67, which runs from the Mexican border to the Quad Cities, in IA\/IL.
