My dad and I stopped at this store on the way back from fishing. We parked in a spot in front of the storeto go in and and my dad got distracted by wanting to take a picture of the mountain to the right of the bridge so he walked across the street briefly and I followed to get a picture. Just as we crossed the street the owner comes out and starts yelling at us that we can't park where we were at. I said oh we're just taking a picture and he was not having it. Then another older man who I believe works there told us to move if we weren't coming into the store. I said we are coming in, just taking a picture first. So I go in after taking my picture and the owner tells me again that we shouldn't have parked there. I said I understand but we only were coming to the store and apologized for taking too long to come into the store. He was rude during the checkout process with my dad too. The prices in the store are inconsistent and it's pretty sparse. The sweet onions were mouldy and had sprouts coming out of them. We bought a yellow onion and left shaking our heads at what just happened.

Both women in the store were so kind. My fiancé and I stayed in town for a long weekend and stopped in the store a few times and we had a very good experience. They offered advice for hiking and even gave us a free welcome snack!

When I was there years ago they were selling some kind of cheesy kimchi focaccia bread, would recommend.

They had everything we could want for our little three day gettaway. Ice✅️, wood✅️, beer , sausages✅️. Prices were a bit high but fair for the convenience. The employee was very kind and accommodating. Answered all my questions about the area, etc.

I’m giving this store zero stars because: a friend and I ( both female) walk in at around 8 with the knowledge they closed at 9 and the owner immediately sees us and tells us to hurry up because they close in one min and so we grab our one item and he can’t even look me in my face acting like I was a witch or demon in his store and after their tap doesn’t work he tells me I had a wrong pin when I never put one in and shews us out of his store when I ask to try again. Why have a store if you aren’t going to sell me anything?

Ok so this is a small general store in a very rural, ( and awesome town), with a post office, some camping gear, and some convenience food items. Prices are high as expected. $13 for a six pack of Coors. I get all that. But twice now in 2 days I tried to buy ice and had to pretty much beg them to sell me some. They allowed me to by one bag of ice and told the person behind me “No ice for you” like they were serving soup in a Seinfeld episode. When they unlocked the cooler there was at least 50 bags in there! The lady explained that ice was rare and they had to ration. I really couldn’t even understand her as she didn’t speak much English but I’m sure she understood I wanted 2 bags of ice. She thought the guy behind me was with me and wouldn’t sell him any! Strangest, rudest interactions I’ve ever had in a store.

Their kimchi is spicy and good.Get an ice cream sandwich if it's hot, you won't regret it.They don't take AMEX.This place is kind of a godsend with it's picnic table in the front and cold beverages.

It’s a small store in the picturesque town of Index. The store is nothing outstanding, carries normal stuffs. You can access the river just crossing the road. It can be a great lunch spot.

Extremely rude owner. Why own a store dealing with the public when you seem to hate people coming in to your store?

Traveling through Index and stopped at this general store planning to buy a drink and a snack. Went in and ask if I could use their bathroom and the man behind the counter was rude in how he answered "NO!" When asked if he knew of a public restroom he did slightly less rudely tell me there was one at the park. Interaction was much more brusque and off-putting than it needed to be. After walking across the street to the park and returning to my car less than 5 minutes later, I sat there for a few minutes waiting for a co-worker to meet me. When my co-worker went to use the bathroom at the park the man came out and started to yell at me. He asked me how much longer I would be parked there (keep in mind there were zero cars in the parking lot other than mine and my co-workers.) He was yelling that I can't park at his store, that's it is "in and out" parking. I politely told him that I would only be there for another 2 minutes while the co-worker used the bathroom.He stomped away and then turned to face my car with an aggressive stance and facial expression then went inside and glared at me until I left shortly thereafter.I imagine that it isn't fun to probably answer the same questions from people driving through Index and aren't local residents. But, come on, if he could be pleasant or, at the very least, neutral in his behavior he would probably do a more brisk business. Life is way too short to spend money at a store run by an aggressive, rude, and unpleasant person. I will never return.

They sell outstanding homemade kimchi if that's your thing. Otherwise a pretty standard general store.The owners are an older Korean couple who I've always found to be quite nice. I understand the man can be a bit grumpy, but the complaints I've seen about them sitting down or watching TV behind the counter are baffling. This isn't a 5 star hotel, it's a local general store and they do a fine job. The amount of veiled racism packed into some of the reviews from locals is unsettling.

Not very friendly and very good at discriminating customers. Just to go in to to check my mail the other day with my boyfriend and was going to buy something at the general index store but got screamed and turned away and pushed out because we were warning the people out side the store that bolt creek fire has been burning which they were going to go hiking but decided to leave instead even though their friend bought something in the store the rest of the group were not interested and left the owners told us we were bad and to leave because we scared their customers we were just warning them because they were about to hike up bolt creek while on fire. And currently 9/15/22 just to walk in again to check our mail didn't know they were closed at 5 because their signs are hard to read with GREEN ink ? they knew it was 5 we didn't know about the different hours walked in for 3 mins then got traumatized by the woman and man shewing us out never go there to shop again they are not friendly to Americans

Surprised by the vast amount of things they manage to carry in such a small space. By no means a full grocery store, but if you're in town and need something, then it doesn't hurt to look. I stopped in to check for tortilla chips and found 5 different kinds. Likewise, they carried so many different sodas. A nice place.

Been coming to this store for years, what's to say? When we camp in the area, we look forward to having the foccacia bread. Sadly some of our favorite campsites are gone from the 2006-2007 wash-out. A lot of good memories camping, hiking, chatting around the camp fire. There has been word to connect the road through Not a major priority for the county.

The Weights and Measures division of the US Gov would have a field day in this store. Things not priced. People charged different amounts. Items taxed which are tax exempt in Washington State. As a consumer there is not much you can do when they are the only store in town.
