The world needs less Walmarts and Costcos, and more family run general stores like this!
thanks for watching my videos and leaving the comment .
Yes!! Amen to that!!
Yes indeed. I remember the Sterling 5,10, &25 cent store in Searcy Ar. that was my favorite store ever in the early 70's
well my friend this world is run on greed and greed only
@@werearethedreamteam3724 Since we know that, how about if we make some huge changes? No one likes the greedy way of now, so how about if we all change it?
So important to preserve these beautiful timeless stores. What a treasure. Best wishes from Ireland 🇮🇪
Couldn't agree more!
Do they still have plenty of rural stores like this in Ireland, maybe on the west coast away from the cities?
What a great testimony by a group of sincere people. It’s heartwarming to know these places still exist.
Glad you enjoyed it
OMG!! Jane is so sweet! And you can tell by her shaky voice that she truly feels the love and cherishes the memories of loved ones and the way life was back then. That sweet little store couldn't be in better hands. God bless her and YOU for caring enough to help preserve the past for us all!!!
Jane is the best
She does!
I am very thankful for the wonderful people who carry on history and traditions. I'd love to visit there one day but am afraid I'd never want to leave.
What a lovely place with lovely people. The tractor 'memorial' gave me goose-bumps, and I loved the sentiment behind it.
Yes indeed
My granddaughter and I were going to a friend of mines house that lives about 3-4 miles from your store. I asked her if she had ever been in an old store like this. She said no. We stopped in and walked around for about 30 minutes. We had a great time going back in time as we walked around. I was telling her this is a how it was years ago when I was young. Thanks for keeping the Good ole days alive in today’s times. It was a good papa and granddaughter day!
My pleasure
I grew up in a general store in northeast Mississippi. My grandfather opened it in about 1917, when he died in 1944, my father took it over and ran it until he retired in the early 70s. We lived next door to it and I spent most of my early life working there, pumping gas (in a visible, gravity feed, gas pump), coal oil (hand crank), and learning how to wait on customers. I treasure the memories of those days. I even still have some of the old signs from the store.
Thank you for the memories you shared. Thanks for watching
My grandparents owned a general store and gas station in Texas and as a kid I got to be in charge of of the old fashioned cash register for candy sales to other kids. They also sold sliced bologna. Thank you for the great memories ❤God Bless
Excellent video. Enjoyed very much
I Love this story! Its Very cool she left the tractor right where it sits out of respect and reverence. God bless her.
By the John you are doing a Great Job in showing us videos of Days of Long Ago. Thanks Goodness some folks are keeping the Old Days for us to see. Folks Subscribe to keep John on his venture showing us we still have a lot to see in our Great America🇺🇸
@@TheSassy777 When I was small around 1955 I'd walk down the street to Mulberry (Florida) grocery store and after I saved up I would buy 2 Delaware Punch soda's. Drink one as fast as I could. Save the other one so I could put it in the freezer when I got home. Worked great till a friend came by and said the Bass were on the bed. Got home and it had blown up all over the freezer. Me maw was mad !! Ate standing up for a while but what good times. Love these old stores makes me think of those times.
Thank you it’s my pleasure and I love what I do! Thank you for watching
Thanks!
Yes
She mentioned her childhood memories getting off the school bus and looking forward to a Mountain Dew and chips then dancing around and play. It's still the same beautiful country store, Yup she's still that same little girl:) Heart touching story.
Nice store... great video. It restores your faith in America to see places like this that still exist.
Yes they do
Exactly
I remember going to a general store as a kid buying BB's, a glass bottle of pop, and the place even sold Red Wing boots. I'd be more interested in driving to places like this than seeing the Grand Canyon, etc. If someone could make a map or maybe even a smart phone app of general stores that would be ideal. I love these videos! Thank you.
You’re welcome
Just love these old country stores, there a big part of history. The peaceful country life is the best.
God, family, customers...those 3 words sum up Jane's life. What powerful words. What a wounderful life. John, well done. Bath,Oh.
Thank you and Glad you enjoyed the video
What memories come flooding back from my childhood listening to her and seeing all the wonderful things in this beautiful building. I hope the place never changes.
I love old general stores. I hope to visit here one day soon.

@@theappalachianchannel You are welcome
What a wonderful video. I am so blessed for a trip down memory lane. Thank you so much. I'm from a small holler town in Virginia and as a little girl my favorite thing to do was to go in our local little general store and get my Pepsi in a glass bottle and my BBQ chips. You are a beautiful light for Jesus, and we will meet in heaven one day. I'm in Tennessee right now at the foothills of the smokies, and so very grateful in where and who I came from. God Bless you and your family.
You’re welcome! Thank you for watching our channel
God bless these wonderful folk.
Yes God bless them all
Appreciate Ms. Jane's witness for the Lord Jesus.🙏🕊️
We live in Wyoming. Leaving on a road-trip next month. We will be visiting Priddy’s after watching this video! Looking forward to it! Thank you for another great video John.
That’s great! Safe travels my friends!
Now that was a great representation of rural living of times gone by, She is another sparkling store owner that makes this one Awesome. Thanks John. PS I love anywhere they still do old music.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching our channel
I love this , I was brought in a small community just like this, we all need small simple life like this, but sadly it’s going away.
Thank you
It may be coming back. People are tiring of big stores. Big stores are not community friendly or personable. Keep hope.
I love how you let the person(s) you are interviewing, have the floor, so, to speak, wonderful format.
Thanks, a wonderful way to make the information a little more clearer. Thanks for watching
I truely enjoyed the video. It brought a lot of memories back from my childhood. My Mom and Dad had a Country Store back in the 1950's's and 60's in upper E. TN.
Thanks so much for posting the video's and the memories.
Glad you enjoyed it
I mentioned to Jane at Christmas about your show and pulled up your site here on youtube! THRILLED you found your way to NC to Priddy's! I just love it at Priddy's.
Awesome! Thank you!
Well what a wonderful way to start off a new week than with this video of one of my favorite places. I usually visit Priddy's at least twice a month to buy preserves. Jane goes all out to make everyone feel welcome and at home. It shows by the people that visit the store from everywhere. I live in Walnut Cove and remember the depot where Jane's grandparents used to come pick up freight many years ago when it came in on the train.
Well hey Mark. I guess this isn't too far from you.
@@OldRedTractors Maybe 15 minutes 20 at most.
That’s awesome! What great memories..
Good evening Mark. We made it to Priddy's today. Jane was a wonderful person, good down to earth.
Where is this store, I live in North Carolina would like to visit and get some strawberry butter!
What a great way to wake up on a Monday morning!
Awesome and thank you!
Wow, what a treat to wake up to this John. I really like Jane's personality, friendly and fun.
Thanks!
Another great video John Ward! You are gonna bankrupt me by me having to check out all these places. I appreciate your content!
No better way to go bankrupt then visiting the last of the mom and pops.
Thank you John for sharing Jane with us.
My pleasure
What a special place and special people. So neat.
I grow up with stores like these. I love them. The one near us had a sign on the door that said. If we don't have it you don't need it.
Thank you for the kindness of showing you home place. Loved it. From Ohio
You’re welcome and thanks for watching

Awwww man, my hometown, Stokes County ❤️
Awesome!
This absolutely made me cry!!!! I long for this kind of life more than anything!!!! People taking care of each other, enjoying each other, and praising God together! Papa hear our cry!!! 🥲
I would love to see the messy hardware/storage side and upstairs !
Congratulations to you for keeping your grand parents legacy going. My mouth watered at some of the products that you had in there. It took me back to my childhood growing up in Coy, Alabama. My grandma was born in 1896, I am 54 now, but it was nothing for me and my younger brother to try to copy her. I seen candy in there that she use to eat and share with us. She would try to hid it from us, but I always caught her.😂😂😂 Those were the good old days, but I miss her dearly. May God continue to bless you so that you can continue to carry Priddy's Legacy.
Thanks for your comment
WOW i have to go see this store. ill have to take $1000 dollars with me cause i'll want every thing lol. i love it. Arkansas is the same way. i was born in 1962 and Arkansas is known for it's front porch people. like in the song. Front porch people Wareing a smile and they cover every mile of Arkansas. Arkansas, land of opportunity Arkansas, oh, what you do to me Prettiest place I ever saw Was back home in Arkansas .

What a truly wonderful story and an exceptional part of history
Thank you and glad you enjoyed the video my friend
I love seeing things like this. Reminds me of a store in Minkler, California. Still has the front doors and she still uses the old cash register.
Thank you for sharing this lovely place.
You’re welcome
I can remember when Tom's potato chips were delivered once a week to your door in a big metal container. They figured if the milkman can do it so could they.
Hello from Siesta Key Florida.
Awesome! I remember Charlie’s Chips delivery to your door when I was younger. Thanks for watching
America needs more of these owner operator, small LOCAL stores/ FARMERS, etc!!! God Bless
Wow, what a wonderful place! The stories, the people; I love it. I will try to stop by and see it all in person. 👍
Ive been out on the road again, thanks for the comment
Memories of my childhood, where my grandma took me to the old general store (lots of penny candy) with the old wooden floors, etc. in Shipshewana Indiana, over 60 years ago.
Thank you for the sweet memories!
My pleasure
Love the support Jane gives to local artist
Yes she’s a gem!
My aunt and uncle used to run a general store which was next door to our house. When I was growing up I loved to sit on the front porch and play checkers or whittle. Good memories. God bless.
Thanks God bless
what a store, wish there were stores like this in Europe, it's boring going to the chain stores...
thanks for watching my videos and leaving the comment .
Jane is a national treasure in our country. God bless her

Yes indeed
You made my day. I grew up in a little town in north Mississippi. Moved there from Maryland in the 8th grade in 1974. What a great store. Still there today. We had a charge account that was my favorite . I was told they ever didn't get paid one time. They were the butcher, baker, candlestick maker. First moon pie and Sundrop soda. Never heard one person ever steal, we protected our family, cause they were. What a blessing, like you. You gave me a chill. Bless you. Neal APOLLO BEACH FLORIDA SEMPER FI

This brings back so many memories. Does anyone still remember all the old stores like this one that had pop bottle caps all over the yard? I still remember the crunchy sound my dad's car tires made when we pulled into the store. I really enjoyed this trip down memory lane. Going now to make myself a fried bologna sandwich.
Another great video! Would love to visit!
