Description
This is a picture of the Hackberry General Store on historic U.S. Route 66 in Arizona.
Prior to Interstate 40 opening in Arizona, various service stations in Hackberry serviced US Route 66 travelers. All were shut down after the highway bypassed the town. The Northside Grocery which was established in 1934 and its Conoco station were among the last to close, in 1978.
In 1992, the store was re-opened as the Hackberry General Store. It served as a Route 66 tourism information post and souvenir shop. The store remains in operation today with a collection of vintage cars from the heyday of Route 66 in Arizona.

Thanks Trish! You could miss this place if you are not careful. The inside looks pretty much like the outside.
