Years ago this store was owned by folks who sold baked goods made in the store, frosh veggies and other groceries, and other things that locals might want in a hurry, but not enough to drive down to Start-Up or Gold Bar. Than they sold it, and the new owners turned it into essentially, an over-priced beer and cigarette store.

I spend a lot of recreational time around Index, so I’ve been in this shop many times now, and I can safely say the lady that runs this shop is the rudest shopkeeper ever! One of the few times the shopkeeper acknowledged me with words instead of a seething glare was maybe the 2nd or 3rd time I came here, when she asked me to buy something or leave. Her eyes shoot invisible daggers at my face! I don’t even know this lady; I’m just here for Gatorade! I keep coming back because I seriously want to do my part to support the little town of Index, and I don’t expect good service or try to talk to her. No big deal. However, last weekend, after another death-stare purchase of Gatorade, I wanted to throw away some used napkins that were in my car. After walking around the front and side of the store, I didn’t see a trash can, so I put the trash in a bucket-o-sand near the door.(Though surely a place for cigarettes, this sand bucket had other trash in it so I figured it was the de-facto trash can.) As I got in my car to leave, the lady came outside and yelled at me «This is not a trash can! Take your trash to a trash can!» I didn’t know what to say, but definitely didn’t want to cause a scene, so I went and got my used napkins and asked where the trash can was. Her answer: ‘It’s in the park.‘ I think she doesn’t want me to shop at her store. So… instead of this aggro grumpy general store, I go to Outdoor Adventures in Index which across the street from the city park in Index. It is run by friendly people and they have food but it is not a grocery/convenience store and a lot of local knowledge and historical artifacts. A few miles up Hwy 2, Baring has an awesome general store with friendly people, a full restaurant and convenience items.
