The general store currently operating here is more of a restaurant than a traditional general store like you may be used to. However, they still carry a few general items and grocery store goods.

Many stop by and grab a bite to eat here. Their sandwiches and grinders are very popular. This is an under-the-radar gem that’s a little less crowded than some of the restaurants in Mystic’s main street area.
