Sitting at Mtn Energy waiting on laundry & I have some notes…read more.. The lone handicapped parking area has been filled with able bodied drivers & there is no enforcement of the tag/placard requirement for using the space. The vacant-eyed stare from the girl behind the counter has hammered home the point that she is only there to collect a cheque & is not going to do anything aside from operating the cash register. There are so many teens/twentysomethings that it is nigh impossible to get inside the store. The haze of smoke right at the entrance ensures that I use my inhaler at least twice per visit. The profanity is making me uncomfortable & I am NOT sensitive to that sort of thing at all. The laundry facility is utterly filthy. I cleaned the tops of the machines I used myself as there was so much paper, empty containers & extraneous junk on them, it was impossible to access the detergent compartments. More machines are out of order than working. I opened a washer to find it full of animal hair, some sort of vegetation & rocks. Normally, I wait until after midnight to use the laundromat, but my husband is out of town & as I have been approached several times by strangers, I don't actually feel safe going so late. People have been squatting in the laundromat. I was made very nervous by a man waving a large metal bar around... Burnsville is a small town, with a minuscule homeless population, but being open 24 hours means the Mtn Energy store & it's environs are open for anyone who feels like wandering in. While I don't expect a convenience store to solve homelessness, I do have an expectation of safety & cleanliness that so far has. Ot been met. Nothing seems to shake them up or encourage them to make improvements. If there were a single other laundromat in my area, I would never step foot here again.

For the past 12 years we've provided those living and working in downtown with the convenience items they need to get through the day without having to travel far. With our move to Wall Street we have begun expanding our fresh food and grab-and-go items to better serve the heart of downtown, as we've seen the options for these types of goods is becoming more and more limited!

When I reached Shady Valley and found this Country Store believe me I was ready for a driving break being this location is consider the half way point on "The Snake" and after a short stop I knew I would have to reengage with this beast. Well this little country store / cafe / museum is dedicated to the legends of those who have been battling this venomous route since its opening you can read more at https://www.thesnake421.com this review is about the Shady Valley Country Store. This store has a little bit of everything, groceries, fuel, a front porch with rocking chairs, food, a game room, a pool table, clean restrooms and lots of memorabilia on display including a few famous bikes inside that conquered this amazing ride and a very friendly young lady running the counter who was attentive but not overly. A can of ice cold soda here is only 75 cents - it's definitely a destination even if you aren't on a bike...

Both owner and manager are sticklers for cleanliness, never have I worked in a place run so well.

They will soon be opening a restaurant in the other half and I look forward to eating there.

Though this store is closer to us than any other, we are not willing to purchase only what INGLES wants us to have rather than the brands we prefer (that were formerly in stock there).

Being that was July 3, no one would even talk to us to get these documents signed before the holiday. We brought our documents dd with us to NC in hopes we would find some kind, willing, souls to help us close on one house. Over the weekend, I reached out to a few notaries, realtor offices, and even attorneys. That have us a few leads but nothing definite. My dad recommended we try Fred's- "they have and do everything! As parents usually are, he was correct. We dropped in on Sunday and were told to come back Monday during working hours. We arrived mid day Monday and the manager stopped what he was doing to notarize our documents, even asking those managing the front desk to sign as witnesses. We are ever so thankful this is done! To top things off, they even have a UPS drop off location which saved us a trip to Banner Elk. Thank you SO very much for your kindness and expertise! Now we have a great story about how we sold our FL house in Beech Mountain, courtesy of Fred's!
