Archer Lodge Express - C.E. Barnes Store is a classic, family-run country store and a significant local landmark. While the building is described as a bit run-down, it is valued for its cheap gas, friendly service, and kind, helpful atmosphere. The store is known for being military-friendly and a safe place, with a well-lit, 24-hour ATM and a noted law enforcement presence. The store offers a convenient spot for essentials like drinks, snacks, milk, and propane tank refills, including unique items like amazing bacon and local nick-nacks. Under its current ownership, the shelves are consistently full, a noted improvement from the past. A major highlight is its daily rotation of varied food trucks, which is actively advertised on the store's social media pages. It provides a nostalgic, small-town experience and is a appreciated local alternative for quick needs.

A significant landmark of Archers Lodge that does a fantastic job of advertising events and food trucks that come daily (besides Sunday) on their Facebook and Instagram page. Their is a food truck line up daily and each day offers a variety of different types of food.
