Gas up, buy local milk & eggs, ice, pet food, and the daily newspaper. They have an AMAZING selection of beers for a small Mom & Pop operation. You can even rent a Uhaul there. If you want to take back a piece of the local flare from the area, you have GOT to check out their T shirts, hats, and huggies.

Eno River Farmers Market
144 E Margaret LnParks & Nature
A great place to walk, run, ride, rollerblade along the river on paved trails. It has been expanded to the old Speedway trail, and this side is unpaved, but with crushed Chapel Hill grit to make walking on the trail comfy. One side ends at Gold Park, the local kids & dog park. Also along the trail you can access the Eno River Farmers Market on Saturday mornings.
