Oak Run Country Store

I live less than a mile from the Oak Run Store and I love having it so close. The gas prices are indeed very close to the prices in town. This makes it so much easier on us.
Also, it is exciting to go in and visit with Mike or Eunice. They are always friendly and have so many things you could think of to purchase there. I am always running out of eggs and needing them.
The cheeseburgers and fries are just as delicious as In N Out and there are many other tasty selections to be found.

I live in the nearby town of Whitmore and am completely jealous that we do not have anything remotely close to the Oak Run Country Store,. To start with they sell gas at prices nearing those of stores in bigger towns that are not so remote. Next… On Fridays and Saturdays, they offer a truly wonderful burger that has all the fixin’s and a half a pound of beef (if you are feeling adventurous you can get a double with 1 pound of beef). The owners, a husband and wife combo, are simply delightful and are as friendly as the day is long. Not the robotic «have a nice day» that you get from other stores, but truly sincere conversation. This experience is what I expect from small town stores that cannot compete with price based on volume. I have been going to this store for over five years and have never had a bad experience there. As a matter of fact, one time I forgot my wallet after I had driven the ten miles to get there in order to get some emergency plumbing parts (yes they keep a wide variety of those too!) and the owner told me not to worry about it and to bring the money the next time I came by. Try to get that kind of service at the Home Depot. In this economy small businesses are struggling to stay afloat. I certainly hope this review will encourage others to support this business that truly is the epitome of what a small business should look like

What I delightful stop this turned out to be. I was trying to get a feel for a town of my ancestors; this store appears to be the only business in the whole area. I pulled into the parking lot and the two women sitting under a refreshing water sprayer asked me if I was lost. When I told them why I was there they were very interested in my research and they knew one of the names on my Oak Run list and told be where the old school house, now a private residence was and gave me the number of the local historian
The store itself was clean, a nice dog was the greeter, and everyone was very friendly. I suspect that I was a bit of an oddity. Although there is very old cemetery I doubt anyone comes to Oak Run to sightsee or conjure up their ancestors

God Bless America!
