Redan Package Store

Redan Package Store has become a real local favorite in Stone Mountain, and once you spend a few minutes inside you understand why. The place is well-lit with an easy, welcoming feel, and folks who stop in for cigarettes and smoking accessories usually walk out having found more than they came for. The word around Stone Mountain is that this is a genuine one-stop kind of spot, with a variety that keeps people coming back.

Ask anyone who shops here and they'll point to the selection first. Locals swear by the range of harder-to-find imported beers and seltzers, from Asahi and Peroni to Grolsch, Suntory, Dragon Stout, and Habesha. The bourbon shelf gets a lot of love too. We've heard from more than one regular that this is where you go for Buffalo Trace, Sazerac, Weller, and even a rare bottle like Jefferson's Ocean at a price that made someone's whole week. Fair prices come up again and again, and people appreciate that you can find both the everyday picks and the occasional hard-to-track-down bottle in the same trip.

The staff earn their share of praise as well. One shopper described the team as having great personality and being better than any store they'd been in lately, and there's a nice story going around about a gentleman who called ahead to let a delivery customer know an item was out and helped them pick something else instead. That kind of thoughtfulness sticks with people. Locals are a little split on service now and then, with the odd grumble about an employee's attitude, but the overall word is warm and the good outweighs the occasional off day.

If you're looking for a well-stocked shop in Stone Mountain with friendly faces and a deep selection, Redan Package Store is worth the trip.
