Slanesville, WV
Nicknamed the 'Slanesville Mall,' this country store crams groceries, hardware, farm supplies, fuel, a café and deli into the same community hub as a bank and post office.

Groceries, hardware, farm/feed supplies, café, deli, bank, post office and fuel/service functions operating from one long-running General Store.
Slanesville General Store is a broad community hub whose own About page says locals call it the 'Slanesville Mall.' The same long-running building combines groceries and produce, hardware, tools and building supplies, farm and feed goods, clothing, home and kitchen merchandise, fuel, propane service, a deli and market, and a café. The business and current Hampshire County development material also confirm a bank and post office within the operation, without making claims about ownership, staffing or service hours. The café, deli, market, bank, post office and departments remain components of one store rather than separate listings. Glenn and Opal Heavner built the store more than 80 years ago, according to the business.
