Nostalgic stops
Visit JoCo’s general stores for a cold Cheerwine and warm conversation, where local characters share memories that don’t make it into guidebooks. If you stop by Stanfield’s General Store in Four Oaks, you might end up swapping stories by the potbelly stove or playing the old piano. Other favorites include the Percy Flowers Store and Stancil Oil Co. Country Store (exterior visits only; grab a drink from the gas station next door and snap a picture).
