Sun Store

Sun Store is a family owned spot in Gainesville that locals have come to count on for a quick, friendly stop. Ask anyone who shops here and the first thing they mention is the people. The word around town is that the folks behind the counter are genuinely welcoming, and more than one regular has said they've never had a bad experience across repeat visits.

This is the kind of place where you can grab your cigarettes and smoking accessories, along with a cold drink and a lottery ticket, and be on your way. People who shop here swear by the good service and the fair prices, and we've heard the refrigerators are always well stocked and cold. When the line gets long, a little patience helps, since it's a small operation.

The outside is a little worn and it runs dark inside, but that hasn't dimmed the reputation of the staff, who regulars describe as polite, kind, and easy to deal with. For a solid neighborhood tobacco shop in Gainesville where you're treated well and get in and out fast, Sun Store earns its steady following.
