“On behalf of the Scott County Chamber of Commerce, we’re proud to recognize R.M. Brooks General Store as one of the region’s most treasured historic businesses. Operating for more than a century, this family-run general store has long served as a gathering place for both residents and travelers, offering simple goods, homemade meals, and a genuine connection to the past.
R.M. Brooks is more than a stop along the road — it’s a living reminder of how rural communities were built, where conversation happens on the porch as easily as commerce happens inside. We appreciate the care taken to preserve this landmark and the role it continues to play in welcoming visitors and celebrating the heritage of our region.”
“Great local grocery; we purchase steaks, drinks, and other staples here. The steaks and hamburgers from Helenwood Foods are much better than what is available at big box stores in our area. We very much appreciate the convenient location and great prices!”
“I absolutely love this dollar store. I come here everyday when I need something. I love the workers, they are very helpful, and kind. The store is usually kept very clean as well.”
“Dollar General has come a long way, in terms of products they sell. Now you can purchase fresh fruits and vegetables. The managment strives to resolve any problems the customer may have, and everyone is helpful and friendly.”
“Friendly and convenient, also great location and decent prices on everything, and the gas is probably the best around the county, it's where I fill up quite often! And the staff is always friendly and smiling”
“Very friendly and courteous employees, very easy to find what you're looking for, and speedy check-outs. The hourly staff are doing the best they can with a manager that is about to retire and don't care at all about the store leaving everything up to the assistant manager Angela Kreis to run it and actually the store is cleaner an more organized when the manager is gone”
“Even though there's different owners this has been my neighborhood go to for so many years I can't count. Owners are nice, workers are great, and they have Hunts Brothers Pizza, whats not to like. They have just about anything you want for a corner gas and deli.”
