Barefoot General Store of South Carolina

Would never shop here again. I would consider myself an extremely loyal Southern Tide customer and this store in no way, shape, or form represents Southern Tide’s pristine quality and customer service. I purchased two ST polos and a pair of shorts with my aunt literally less than a week ago. We had an extensive conversation with the owner who was very courteous and helpful (that day.) When I got home after I took the tags off I noticed a small nick in the stitching of one of the polos. I was out of town for the weekend and thread came out of the nick a little and spread about an inch wide. I thought nothing of it and kept the tag and receipt and went to exchange the shirt this morning. Keep in mind that I tried the shirt on once but it hasn’t been worn out, washed, dried, or nothing of the sorts. When I went to take the polo back the owner who sold me the shirt told me no one working for her would’ve sold me the shirt like that. I explained that the nick was very small and spread a little and she completely ignored that. It’s a shame that the owner of a small local business wouldn’t remember a customer they had a conversation with from just a few days ago, this store doesn’t exactly stay slam packed this time of year. Here’s a tip from someone with a more extensive retail background than the owner: just because you rely on seasonal tourism business at Barefoot doesn’t mean you don’t care about locals. Locals should be special to any business and they clearly don’t care about customer happiness and satisfaction. Luckily Southern Tide handles situations much better than this store so I might not be out almost $ 100 over a polo I’ve literally never worn. As someone who loves to support local small business I will unfortunately have to take my Southern Tide business elsewhere. It is worth the hour drive out to Conway to buy Southern Tide from an outfitter that excels in customer service. I urge customers to take their business elsewhere to someone who actually cares about locals and not just money.

The General Store has lots of trinkets and munchies. Good selection of Soda that you do not see otherwise

The sole reason I go here everytime I visit N. Myrtle Beach — BLENHEIM Ginger Ale! If you’ve never been fortunate enough to try this stuff, then you’ve never had real ginger ale before. Without making this review into a commercial for Bleheim Ginger Ale, I’ll just say that The General Store @ Barefoot Landing is one of the few places that carries the best damn drink in the world!
In addition to Ginger Ale, the General Store has a wide variety of antique signs & posters, college sports themed everything, neat little chochkis, yummy candy, and unique gift items. I always find something fun and nostalgic everytime I visit but I always leave with at least a case of Blenheim Ginger Ale!
