This country sure could sure use more of these Mom & Pop stores. Just down to earth good people. Thank you, Mr. John, for this video.
yes we sure need more stores like this one.
Wow good people! It is so good to see Americans still making a living in the mom and pop stores. Another keeper John.
They are still going strong because of good prices and good customer service.
As a Ford Motor Company employee who has built the F-Series pickup for over twenty years, I'd like to thank Mr. Montgomery for continuing to support Ford Motor Company all these years since he left us. Thank you for showing us your store. I wish it were convenient for me to drop in for a visit and to say hello and thank you in person. Thanks, John, for introducing us to these wonderful folks.
A case and a Ford.
I had a neighbor or stop by the other day (new here) asking about my payments on my truck and how it was doing. I said, that’s a 2015 ford, first aluminum
Body, first they came out with. Im a widow and traded in my car for a 4wd trick. They have one of them electric little cars. I bought that truck with 22k miles on it, still from factory with warranty and paid cash.
I find it funny I have to explain myself to this day.
You gonna live in the mountains, you better have a 4wd truck. Especially if you a woman and alone.
Ds you pick up on, out of allll tat inventory… what the best seller was?
Water:
What would his parents and generations before think about buying water and. Being the best seller
In that store?
As another Ford employee, I wish we kept people and places like this in mind. I frequently feel like we forget the people who actually buy our vehicles.
This is why I love this channel. Just salt of the earth, good people. You can just feel their sweet spirit through this video!

Been in a few of the, “Mom-n-Pop” stores in my life, a wonderful experience, a whole different atmosphere when you walk into one of these places over, a chain store.
Montgomery Grocery Store is a special place for sure! For a small country store they have about anything you need! They are still going strong because of good prices and great customer service!
@@theappalachianchannel those price stickers on the items, really bring back memories for me. I remember going to the local, A&P with my mom and watching the stockers, put the prices on can goods, “pop, pop, pop,” one can at a time in seconds, it was a talent. Then, at the check out counter, the cashier, hitting the price keys on a large cash register without even looking, and the “Green Stamps,” that they would give out.
I would watch an entire series with them! 🌻
yes that would be a good one!
He is so correct. Without the Lord, life will not be a good life

My goodness,you can get anything you need in this store ,thanks for sharing, I have enjoyed.I was born and raised in Jamestown, Tn. You have a great job. Keep it up. God bless. I saw a coal bucket ,my Dad was coal miner all his life. That’s all he ever did. A mines blew up on him in the 1930’s and broke his leg ,he walked with a limp the rest of his life. He died from black lung in 1975.

Really enjoyed Bill and his sweet wife and employees at Montgomery Store. Great to see that we have places like this still in business. Bill has a great personality that customers will always come back to shop. Thanks John for showing us this Family owned business. I wish I lived close cause I would be a regular customers.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great Video John, love all these Old General Stores, just going in one brings instant happiness.
Couldn't agree more!
The prices of what I saw were really cheap and reasonable. Id like five or six rolls of that white mule tape cordage. He is right on the strength of it. It has a unreal breaking strength. In the thousands pounds rating compared to hundreds of pounds. The prices of his case knives are cheaper than around here in South Carolina. Enjoy your videos!
yes great prices for sure!
Such a lovely chap & a grand store . ❤

I lived up north in a small town in Washington State, it was a 45 min drive to the home Depot, there was a general store in town, been there forever, they had everything you could imagine..I lived there for 10 years, remodeled my house, worked on this and that..only one time in 10 yrs they didn't have what I needed, they were out of stock, so I waited till it came in, just out of respect....and their prices were great..loved that little store..
Another great Video.I just love the old general stores and plan on visiting this one for sure. M.Bill is so very right without God we are nothing I’m so very sorry for the loss of there son, I know the pain of losing a child and he’s right it takes a lot out of you, God bless them both ❤

When I was a boy, early 1960's there was a store in Urbana Illinois named Hueys. The owners slogan was " if huey don't have it you dont't need it"
Your videos go right to my heart. Mr. & Mrs. Montgomery are pure American gold. One day I hope to visit their store. Thank you for another great video John & Jodi.❤
You are so welcome
I grew up a few blocks away from the store. They are so friendly and the store stays very busy!
I built my store in 94 and sold last year,you have to admire a man that can keep it going
thanks for watching my videos and the comment!
I need to visit this store! It truly is a general store that has everything.
This sweet couple has more stuff than a Walmart.
Get up at 5am and have Jesus in your heart ❤️ and a positive attitude. And your making the most out of GOD country 😊 Oh and a little MT DEW helps too 😅😂
More stuff than a Walmart, and number one seller is watwr. What ya think bis ancestors would have thought about that?
So true!
Went to high school in Middlesboro, and we used to go there and Pappy's liquor store next door, it was a bit different before the big highway they put through. Good memories!

I can't wait to plan a trip to visit this place. I'm bringing plenty of money, I saw so many things I wanted that I can't find anywhere else. Thanks so much for showing us this treasure.
This brings tears to my eyes. This is a very heartwarming video.
This is the Embodiment of the "American Dream."
Foreigners who immigrated to these great lands in order to lead a better life... Creating establishments that were family run in order to bring their family and country's pride, to this great country of America.
Children who watched their parents run businesses and then decided to continue their parent's business.. That is the dream.
Sadly, so many do their own thing these days.
Love this store , Yes Ford’s in Michigan ; my Dad went up North for work and stayed ……..Look you got two look alikes The Men talking look like from “Green Mile” just a little older , So proud wit his store ….Thanks for sharing this it’s remind me of my Mom and that Ginseng she use to pick/sell.

At 14:40 that's pulling tape also known as mule tape. It's used for pulling cabling through conduit. It's really useful for all sorts of things!
That’s good to ponder on for sure
Bill was so generous with John❤️. A wonderful trait of a Christian man. I sure hope I can visit his store one day! -Missouri
