Bayview Mercantile Closing Doors

The weekend was an active one as in addition to the Farragut Reunion, the Bayview Mercantile closed it's doors. Citing the expense of hiring all of the help, the Bjergos were feeding a loss. Both have well paying jobs with Scott an aircraft mechanic and Jeannie a Registered Nurse. This left the store with a larger payroll than it would support. A Mom & Pop operation would fit well, but not if all the help was hired. It has been more than 15 years since Bayview has been  without a convenience store. It will be sorely missed/Herb Huseland, Bay Views. More here.

Question: Which local convenience store gets most of your quick-stop business?
