Rucki's Abington Store

While traveling the secondary roads around the country it has been a passion of mine to find the small museums, little country stores and small monuments that are scattered across this nation. There was a time when I thought the front counters of country stores would make an interesting picture of rural america, maybe some one will make it and ... but on to Rucki's. What a cool find. A small country store with fresh vegetables from local gardens, a few canned goods, videos for rent, books to loan, a coffee area, fresh made morning cinnamon rolls, fresh meat, friendly people and more. After chatting with mom, (her daughters are moving things around the store and cashier - I am sure they do everything around the store as well) I learned that the tag line for the store is everything from Bibles to Bullets - and yes they sell bibles and bullets!. So I bought a fresh baked gooey cinnamon roll and gave the young lady a 2 dollar bill. One of my other well known quirks is to carry two dollar bills and use them for purchases and tips. She looked at the two dollar bill, held it up and yelled across the store, mom do we take these and she held it up. Her mom laughed and the young teenagers had her first encounter with a two dollar bill. What fun. Creating memories for her and me as the travels continue. Be sure to visit Frog Rock for another hoot when you are in the area.

Very nice local general store.

Fun little corner store.

I great little store

Closed for the winter apparently, just shut it down altogether. Maybe learn how to use the internet to let people know you're a seasonal operation.... what a joke. Made me drive 45 minutes for nothing 😴 appreciate it guys ! 👍

Called inquiring about getting some meat cut for beef jerky while asking what they could do they said "I have to take this" and hung up on me! Very poor service won't even try to give them my business. If you want good cuts of meat and great customer service go to Scott's Deli in Flanders CT!
