Graeagle Store

This is a quaint but well stocked general store. The fresh produce, though of limited quantity, was beautiful. I don’t think they have forgotten anything that a traveler, camper, or vacationer could need. Great store.

On a mission to find postcards for my penpals and since Nakoma didn’t have any they recommended this place.
Boy, this was a blast from the past! This is the pure definition of a mom and pop shop. There was a small selection of pretty much anything you might need to get here but at a premium price. That’s what happens when you need something in the sticks. I was thrilled to find one postcard design that I bought in multiples. The lady running the cashier was super sweet and chatty. That kind of friendliness just isn’t found very often anymore and I loved it.

This place is like stepping back in time.
The tiny parking lot. The old signs everywhere welcoming you to the quaint town of Graeagle. The pond area that meets up with the parking lot is cute and adds to the picturesque scene.
Inside they had smiling cashiers, a butcher who told a patron that she could only get short ribs on certain occasions and a selection of last minute necessities or things you didn’t know you needed until you saw them. The last items are what I love about these places — camoflague fishing hats, winter gloves, tshirts with a Graeagle logo and snacks I haven’t seen in years.
This is like a candy store, grocery store and clothing store all wrapped into one. I love it.
I also loved the kind cashier who was as happy to ring me up as she was to wish me a happy day and offer up tourism advice.
Adds to the hometown feel of the town. A must stop — even if you just grab something to drink and wander through the small shop.

The Graeagle Store is an authentic old town General Store that has been in operation at this location since 1918. It still retains that old town general store feel and ambiance. It’s worth taking a stroll through the store if you are in Graeagle. .. (pronounced «Gray Eagle»). .. just for the experience, even if you aren’t planning to make a purchase. However, as it is really the only option in Graeagle for groceries, I suspect that you’ll be making a purchase of some needed item when you visit. I certainly come into the store every time I’m in town. .. milk for coffee. .. a couple bottles of wine,. .. and the usual supplies for sustenance. .. bread, fruit, veggies, meats, cheese and crackers, supplies for s’mores, etc. etc. etc.
This general store has been here going back to the days that the old lumber mill was operational, before it burned to the ground several decades ago. What remained after the lumber mill burned sat for many years until the land was purchased by a developer, then the mill’s remaining other structures and ‘out buildings’ were relocated along Highway 89 to form what is now downtown Graeagle, and the area was developed as a mountain village community. Today, the town of Graeagle retains much of it’s historic charm, but also is a great place to visit the Sierra while avoiding the traffic, and stressful hustle and bustle of the Lake Tahoe area. Graeagle is a much more relaxed and small town environment. If you’re like me, you’ll love it here, and prefer it to the stress of a visit to Lake Tahoe’s buzz.
The Graeagle Store is situated on Highway 89, next to the old mill pond, and is within an easy walking distance to nearly all of the other little shops of «downtown» Graeagle, with it’s rows of many charming old red and white structures, with green shingle roofs, that line both sides of Highway 89 where it intersects with the middle fork of the Feather River. Come for a visit. .. you’re sure to enjoy it!

Great little store, you’ll be surprised what’s there. Great meats.

Unless you want to drive 10 miles to Portola or 20+ to Quincy, this is it. Great little place to pick up what you need. It’s a small town store, so don’t expect complete selection of what you’re used to. They close 6p on weekdays and 5:30p on Sundays so don’t forget. Great character, been going here for years.

Great lil’ small town market with a little bit of everything you might need while visiting. Great meat dept, love the cut to order bologna and yummy dill pickles as well as thick cut bacon. Service is always friendly, even when they’re slammed on the holiday weekend!

«Chief Graeagle Welcomes You», but I don’t. Look, I know Tahoe is crowded and you can’t get a table at Gar Woods for Sunday Brunch, but really, can’t all you yuppwads and your squallering brats quit coming here and fouling up my Sand Pond with toddler pee?
Allright, if you MUST come, here’s my advice: bring all your supplies with you. If you forget something, like tp, the Graeagle Store will be happy to sell it to you for $ 6 a roll. Ka-​Chingg! But you gotta wipe, right? They don’t sell Delaware Punch anymore, but that’s ok. They haven’t changed another iota since 1975. The last time I bought a sixer here I came home with a puppy. I supposedly saved him from a watery grave in the Mill Pond. Good times.

An oasis of supplies when in the Lakes Basin area, the Graeagle Store on the main drag of Hwy. 89, is the way to restock the cooler, tackle box etc. with country store staples. Nice booze selection, next to the Mill Pond for a quick dip and the only game in town.
