“I stopped here this morning hoping to get a few crackers or something to snack on. It was closed…as I should have expected on a Sunday morning, but as I walked back to my car a man came out of the house next door and asked if he could help me. I couldn’t believe it when he offered to open up and let me buy some items since he was clearly headed to the church across the road. His name was Gray (?) son of the owners. I felt like I was blessed being able to chat a few minutes with him, gather up some snacks and real bottled Coca-cola and pet the friendliest cat, Big Momma, I left with the biggest smile on my face and feeling as if I had just experienced a rare moment in life in a place I will never forget and it all was so unexpected. The kindness I was shown and true friendly connection I made has kept me smiling all day! I can’t wait to travel through again and stop at Thomas Grocery. It is special!!”

3980 NC-105, Sugar Mountain“I had a car break down and pulled into the Zuha Mart. Thought it just needed oil so I added some. Just to see it dump on the concrete I was parked on. So I asked the cashier if he knew of a tow & taxi service in the area. Luckily he had a number for both. Taxi showed up quickly and was super polite. All in all the Zuha Mart is awesome.”

It's just off 19-E and is in a very convenient location.There is also a Subway combined with the store which also has friendly helpful staff. Prices are surprisingly good at both places and both have clean public restrooms. Great location for a quick bite and pit stop for fuel and snacks!”
“I was craving a burger and didn't know what to expect but dang I was surprised! This fresh pressed and made to order burger was just what I needed! It doesn't come with any sides but with how big it was I didn't even finish the two sides I ordered. Which were also very reasonably priced and good. I will be going back! I took pics but it won't let me post them. This burger was huge!”
“The customer service here was pretty great. They have a wide variety of items that you would expect to find at most convenience stores. I also appreciate that they stay open to at least 11pm (6/7 days a week) which you surprising don't find at every gas station/convenience store in this area.”

325 Pineola St, Newland“The a****** who reviewed earlier doesn't understand how medicine works. He thinks he can snort as much adderal as he wants and get it filled whenever he wants. Our community has enough dope fiends. I guess his pill pusher in Florida is better suited for him. This is a great pharmacy stocked with locals who take care of local people. Lori is a sweetheart, and I'm sorry she didn't buy your addict b********”
