pop instead of just Coca-Cola and Nehi. Besides antique advertising signs on the walls, there-is a digital wrap-around sign which says “Welcome to Dennis Store where people babble at Scrabble.” Mr. Dennis said that he can program the sign to say anything he wants.
Proudly displayed is a painting of the store by local artist Maggi Morris, who lives right down the street with her husband Andy and son Eston. She said that she feels like part of the family when she goes in Dennis Store, and that, like parents, the Dennises are always concerned about what is going on in her life. Also, if she needs an item which is not on the shelf in the store, the Dennises will order it for her.
An antique glass case houses the candy selection, and the store has two cash registers. Mr. Dennis’s favorite is the antique one, which he thinks is actually older than the store. At the other end of the counter is a modern cash register, purchased just last year!
Mr. Dennis also drives a school bus for Rappahannock County, and comes in to take over the store duties from his wife when he finishes his day on the road. He said that it is surprising how many tourists stop by the store. Some stop by who have gotten lost too, something that Rappahannock residents know can easily happen in the Castleton area.
The store offers a selection of microwave sandwiches and a coffee machine for visitors who would like to stay awhile, and the front porch offers an inviting view of the countryside.
Dennis Store is open from 7 a.m. to .7 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sundays.
