Built in 1936 when Highway 16 was constructed, Hoffman's Store remains one of the few true country stores left in the area. Elections were once held within the store building and it once housed the United States Post Office. Located in the Grant area of Grayson County, VA. a true landmark is now available for sale.
The Hoffman's Store building is still very much as it was in 1936 with its high ceilings, walls of wooden shelves, tongue-in-groove counters and glass display cases. Worn Oak floors greet you as you enter this 1930's emporium. Founded on the vision "What will my friends and neighbors need?" the current owner still strives to meet the needs of neighbors and community.

Many of a winter afternoon was and is still spent here around this stove sharing stories of the "big one that got away", reliving the good ole days and creating new friendships.
A back room on the main level is used for storage and even more choices of inventory. To the back of the main store room is a kitchen used in the preparation of sandwiches, pizzas and hot dogs offered at the store.
