Junction Variety

Very friendly staff, always willing to help and chat. Great selection, and very clean store.

This place is not as bad as another made it out to be. It's very... "rural".

Parking: there is limited parking in front of the variety store, with some additional parking in the back. Watch for oncoming traffic in all directions when pulling in and out of the parking lot.

Merchandise: fairly appropriate selection of goods (given the location). They do sell beer and wine. Singles are only available in the tall boy cans; you aren't permitted to break up a 6-pack. Wine is definitely 2-buck-chuck, so don't be expecting anything fancy. Prices are a dollar or two higher than most other convenience stores. Also sells lottery tickets, cigarettes, and a smattering of different snacks. Live bait available in the front cooler. Keno played here.

Service: we usually have no issue at all with service; we're never given a hard time, even when paying with a credit card. Perhaps they do have a minimum, but we always buy a handful of things. Yesterday, we were helped by a cashier who seemed to have issues ringing stuff up, so it took a little longer than usual.

Semi-decent place to stop on your way to the Swift River for booze. Make sure you bring a bottle opener/wine corkscrew in case you need it.

refused to sell me an energy drink unless I spent $7 on my credit card. Will not continue to patronize this place.
