In this era of giant chains like Sheetz or BP for gasoline and convenience store needs, finding a local pit stop, like Country Side Market is getting harder and harder. Country Side is located in Stokesdale, where Highway 68 and 158 meet.

While you won’t find a Sheetz wrap or mac and cheese here, if you are local, you can bet you will find people who knew your grandfather and what kind of truck he drove. You will find people who knew where you went to school and who your teacher was. These little places are the Cheers bar of pit stops for gasoline and snacks. If you want to get a feel for local living in the Greensboro/Guilford County area, make a visit to one of these locally owned stores. Happy Monday!
