U G White Mercantile 101 North Jefferson Street, Athens, AL 35611

"Awesome place. More case knives that I’ve ever saw in one place, old fashion candy, fresh chocolates and such, toys upstairs. What more could anybody want in a store. Must visit once and you’ll be back."

"Pocket knives and sundrop in glass bottles, and if you are looking for something special come check out U G whites store Old Fashioned candy too! Friendly staff"

"Start by saying the folks there are very friendly, warm and personally greet us with smiles and kindness. Like stepping back in time with the atmosphere and awesome service. Great chocolate choices and delicious coffee. Thank you so much."

"Very cute! We had fun just browsing. All kinds of gifts whether for someone else or for yourself! Kitchen items, jams, sauces, knives, toys, candies, t-shirts… the list goes on! I’m sure at one point (opened in 1917), it was more of a hardware/furniture store, but at this point in time, expect lots of goodies."

"UG Whites claims to be a hardware store, but its more of a massive southern activity factory for the whole family, woth hard-to-find items such as rare candy, model trains, and more. The atmosphere remimds me, at least, of a combination of a log cabin and my grandmother's house. The employees are nice, as always, and the prices could be better, but for what you find, it's barely an issue. Overall, 9/10, will go again, probably as a part of the Christmas Open House."
