Pierce & Co General Store LLC 4229 Sam Potts Highway, Hallsboro, NC 28442

"If you've read Cannery Row by John Steinbeck, you already know Lee Chong's grocery store: "Lee Chong's grocery, while not a model of neatness, was a miracle of supply. It was small and crowded but within its single room a man could find everything he needed or wanted to live and to be happy--clothes, food, both fresh and canned, liquor, tobacco, fishing equipment, machinery, boats, cordage, caps pork chops. You could buy at Lee Chong's a pair of slippers, a silk kimono, a quarter pint of whisky and a cigar. You could work out combinations to fit almost any mood. The one commodity Lee Chong did not keep could be had across the lot at Dora's" -John Steinbeck, Cannery Row. Pierce & Co. Is a bit like that, but better."

"Adorable country store, they have it all - hardware, lumber and meat - like the sandwich sign on the road says. So cute on the outside and plenty of stuff inside. It's worth a stop and a gander!"

"Love it! Can’t wait to go back again! Took me back in time and felt like “home”."

"Love the butcher shop! The best country breakfast sausage. Hand trimmed and cut steaks. Great people!"

"Pierce & Company is a local treasure. When I was building my treehouse, it was so convenient to order my lumber and have it delivered directly to my job site. It's a great resource for sailing club members at Lake Waccamaw who need mooring supplies. They even carry 3M adhesive products. We are also big fans of their house-made sausage and prime rib!"
