- E1: 1917 RM Brooks Store General Store: This Was The first Video I made at the Store.
R.M. Brooks first opened his store in 1917, and it's still ran by his great granddaughter Tiffany. Brook’s is one of the last few stores left in existence where they still have a pot belly stove being used to heat with. Tiffany took over ownership in 2014 and has worked hard to keep the store looking as it did 100 years ago. Make sure not to miss this short documentary about one of the last few original country store still operating.

Tiffany is what America is all about... a nice person, hard working, generous, optimistic, faithful.
Thanks for watching
Agreed 👍
The 1977 footage is amazing!!
It was really great I enjoyed it so much thank you for doing what you do and I like that flannel shirt is it the same one you had on the last time
She sure was blessed to be able to have this kind of life. It's amazing how God helps people. I know her great grandparent's, her grandparent's, her parent's worked hard to keep this stores up. It's nice that her husband has helped her too. Like she said God has blessed her by putting the right people in her path. Not everybody gets those kinds of blessings.
So true!Thank you so much for watch my videos and making a comment, I love to hear what people have to say. What state do you watch my videos from? John
Tiffany is someone living out her soul's purpose. Being around her is like being around sunshine, you can sense the warmth and light as God works through her.
She is a treasure...more than she will ever know. So vital to her community.
Thanks for your comment
What a wonderful soul that lady has! I love her faith in the Lord!
This lady and store should be considered a state treasure. Such beautiful storytelling. Brought a warmth to my heart I haven't felt in years.
Tiffany is the best
she is the best
An absolutely charming little store! So adorable, messy but not really! It reminds me of old pharmacy counters as a kid. Somewhere where the locals hang out and chat! Every town should have one!

I love seeing these old stores still in operation. They are a gem of our American past, may they continue to survive and make people feel at home no matter where they are.

Amazing store, lovely lady. Best wishes from Ireland 🇮🇪
Thank you for watching! Hello from Tennessee!
Fantastic video. These folks are the salt on God's earth. Can't thank you enough. She's a fantastic person..
God bless 🙏
Absolutely fabulous. I enjoyed this very much, and every time I got distracted while watching I replayed so as not to miss one bit of this. Really fantastic. Tiffany is truly a special lady. What I wouldn't give for one of them peach pies. . .
Thanks for watching and your comment
Outstanding. Not easy to make a go of something that mostly passed into history by the 1960's. This is living history of how people in small communities in the Appalachians once lived and the places they depended upon.

There still a lot of country store like this in East Tennessee.
The old Pepsi cooler takes me back. 60 years ago my mom and stepdad ran a service station that had an apartment attached to the back of it where we (including my two brothers and, eventually, my sister) would live. One of my daily "jobs" was to keep the Pepsi cooler filled. The payment was always the same - a free Pepsi. Oh, the memories...

I just talked Tiffany this morning 12 3 22 and she made my year!! Her personality is unbelievable! Tks Tiffany for taking your time to chat!! Keith
You’re welcome
I absolutely loved watching this. Loved the history. She is an amazing person. Wish all businesses were run by people like her. She’s not like a lot of owners who all they care about is making all the money they can make for themselves and don’t care about their customers. I wish her all the blessings God can give her. Wish I lived close, I would love to come to her store all the time. I live in central Indiana.

Tiffany is a treasure. Wow.❤️
Thanks for watching
Too funny...when I was a child I used to make cities out of my blocks. I took a felt pen and wrote on the blocks what the business was I had in my block city. The grocery store I had in my city was named.. "Bob's Bargain Barn", LOL.
There were little neighborhood stores everywhere 60 years ago. They're mostly gone now, so I go to a small, congenial Mexican store. I know where everything is; they know me and I know them. Occasionally I go to a big store, but only for a serious necessity and I buy enough for at least a year.
WHAT A VERY DELIGHTFUL LADY ! JUST LOVE HER ATTITUDE !

Yeah it does
What a lovely lady. I wish her nothing but many blessings and prosperity with her unique family business ❤
This is what real American people are doing every day. God bless them!!!

That is cool that it’s been in the family for so long. I live in Washington state and there’s a local country store that’s been here for the same amount of time ( since the 20’s) the family that has it now bought it in the 70’s the mom and dad just passed away last year and now the rest of the family is going to sell the store it’s located at this lake the store also has a camp ground to with trailer hook up, I wish I could buy the place I’ve lived in the area for forty years and got to be friends with the family I went to school with their kids so we all know each other

That Tiger 40 CB is from around 1977 and one of the first 40 channel CB radios, they are actually better than the new CB's if you have the right person tune it for you.

I recently stumbled on to your channel, it is truly a gift from God. You’re a blessing to so many people. Praise the Lord and keep those blessings coming❤
(This is Tom, not Sandra.)
Tiffany is a true disciple of God, l believe. She has been blessed by GOD to run this store and love the people who patronize it each and every day. May GOD continue to bless you, Tiffany, for keeping the faith, Mam!!! I really enjoy your videos of the store. Keep them coming!!!
With your amazing stock of merchandise, what things are/do you search for? Things difficult to find which customers ask for? Deeply appreciate your basic menu , atmosphere and friendliness.
Thanks so much
This place just went on my bucket list! Wonderful video!
Wow what a great store, I am watching this in London, England and it reminds me of watching Little House on the Prairie back in the day. The owner Tiffany, wow what a cutie, my type of lady.
Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching
So many items in this store remind me of my Great Grandparents store in Baton Rouge back in the 1920's. I was a young fella back in the 50's and loved everything in the store, especially the candy and cookies. Got caught many times with my hand in the Jack's Cookie Jars 😏. Construction of the Interstate took the old store and Hat shop. The Lord has Blessed this Family and business and Pray that it will be there for many years to come serving the area and sharing it's History. Really enjoyed the video, thank you!
Thanks for visiting by my again channel and watching another episode. I also have more then 100 more different videos so please check them out as you have time. John Ward
@@theappalachianchannel I know, I'm working on em😀🙋♂️
I remember when I was a teenager going into a country store and seeing smoked whole ham's hanging on a post for sale and you could smell it all over the store.
There used to be a small store in Houston county Tn that looked just like this place, and brought back so many memories of RC and Moonpies, bubblegum and pinball and the smell of hand made leather boots. I swear i can smell it as i'm typing. I miss the mom and pops glad to see a few surviving.
I'm just catching this series now. One of the later episodes popped up on my recommended watch list. Loving it. R.M. Brooks is an American gem. Places like this are disappearing as time goes by. I really hope decades from now, Tiffany's family will keep it going.
I echo the previous post...Tiffany is Americana personified...an iconic personality and big hearted Southern gal. God Bless her and this terrific family...
Thank you for sharing on so many levels. Hope you have security cameras and recorders. G.
Wow!!! Fantastic video, truly the ‘backbone of American history’!!! Me & my wife cannot wait to visit!
Thanks for watching
First off the owner looks good having a youngest son that tall. With all due respect.
I like that she has not organized the post office. I wish i could visit this historical landmark. Great video alot of history i hope it stays that way 🙏

Absolutely love this place and the people who work there. It's a beautiful area!! Great video!
Couldn't agree more!
As a child and young man , these were some of my favorite places... the bench out front . The stories and interactions I witnessed... thank you for the DeLorean

@@theappalachianchannel Nc/Tenn line.
That's cool to see a place that is still open and with a lot of history in it and to see the love and the hospitality in it . Even so it really rare to see today. It's really sad to see how bad things are today and how people have changed over the years . And that's what I miss about the small towns in Missouri
This brought back so many memories of old country stores we had in my youth. Remember the old meat markets? The ones with sawdust on the floors? I remembered a lot of things by watching this video. Can someone tell me the name of the song playing at the beginning and end of the video. Honestly I'm only 64 and should remember it. Unfortunately I do not.😁
Thank you watching my video and ,making a comment... John
What a wonderful legacy to inherit. Good for you in keeping up the tradition.

What a beautiful woman, with a beautiful soul. A testament to what America used to be, we will return greater than ever, with people like her.
I'm just so happy for you, Tiffany. What a breath of fresh air your operation is.
where's this store located at what state?
Little1,it's ok/it a good thing in all of your play to fall and skin your knees. Yup you'll be ok. You might even grow up And provide the most beautiful experience to the most wonderful people With just A Bologna Sandwich. Yup it's ok:)!
I hope i get to visit this store and have a meal..its really great to see this is being preserved.. the owner seems a wonderful person..
I love this store!
Yes, I do too. I love old General Stores from history. Thank you for watching
I Love History, i hate our Modern times!! i love all History..Ty Tiffany for keeping this part of the Histury Alive Ty john
I love these episodes ❤ (I decided to start watching the episodes from the beginning 😂) But I love how you've done these episodes & it's brought more people to this slice of history for us people that's curious how people lived back then & to relive it for just a small time 😊 I can't wait to visit & meet Tiffany.
I looked up the location of this store and would never think of it as Appalachia. It's not even in the mountains. But the people are definitely mountain people! Reminds me of all my mom's relatives in Pike County KY. I never was fortunate enough to live in Appalachia, but I love the stories and learning about it.
Thanks for watching
See you in November !
I'm so very excited , and cant think of a better reason to travel half way round the world..... for a fried pie 🤣
Tiffany is Awesome! Cool 😎 store too.🙂👍
Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching
When you put God FIRST great things can happen.
Yes indeed, thanks for watching
I noticed a Charles Chip Tin Can on an upper shelf. We bought them off a travelling delivery man. Great memory to see that!
We need a lot more of this and a lot less Walmart and Target...
I agree
And all of a sudden this turned up on my TH-cam feed and I'm hooked .🇦🇺😁🍻. Love it from snowy mountains of Australia
Thanks for watching stay tuned for more great videos
What a great owner and family heritage!

hardworking family and yet it seems and feels like they find and have time to enjoy things in life. I find her faith in her Lord very refreshing (what ever makes you spiritually sound and centered, seems like she has that too).
God Bless her!
The world could learn a lesson here
Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching
Well, my grandparents built one in Wisconsin. It was small. But it was a general store. My Gramps was an entrepreneur in business. Went to Chicago after gathering his orders. Purchased items just based upon the community needs. Farm country, but not without needs. Fabrics were an essential. All the women sewed. Some men as well. Everyone canned. But spices weren’t grown. Same with paper products from writing papers, pictured postcards and even the luxury of toilet paper. Well, my folks did build a grocery store too. But it included our living quarters too. My Grandparents ran it as my parents had other jobs. It was a small, independent, grocery store in a very poor neighborhood. They gave credit to their customers. Why? Because they knew that these folks would make good in repayment. Even if it was helping my Dad get a plowed path, so he could get to his job. Sadly, things aren’t like how I grew up.

I very much appreciate you sharing the people and places that give so much texture to depth to my fellow citizens. When I retire, I will visit many of these places. God bless you all.
Thanks so much and thanks for watching
I adore these Rural areas in the U.S...completely unspoilt....
Reminds me my Grandpa would been 17 in 1917 miss these old little store locally owned ran out by big box stores as kid . They couldn't compete on prices so run out of existence. Was dam shame these places are very rare now days . The small mom and pops general store you got best service they actually care about their customers became extended family . Remember when going fishing as a kid we would stop at a general store get supplies , fishing tackle and soda good times . Thinking back these folks were backbone of small community's all across America. My dad lived in rural Nebraska went to one room school all eight grades his grandmother was school teacher. Now days no service people just trying make a pay check don't care about anything else. Think it was sad that more little general store weren't saved . Remember the little general store with fond memories good people always friendly and great service . Humanity ten steps forward and twenty steps backwards ha ha ha for real. Thanks for you saving a slice of small town general store cool . God bless one and all be safe you all.
Thanks for the comment my friend! The comments always help the Channel get more views so please make sure to comment on all of my videos that you watch. John Ward
I live in northern Missouri and planning a trip this summer to come that way...I miss the old time store's that was around here.. only ones kinda like this one is in jamesport Missouri
My grandpa had a plumbing and heating shop in Alta Vista, IA. Tiny town. The building was around 90-100 years old when I was a kid. It had dusty wooden floors and one of those old school metal/wooden cash registers that rings when the drawer opens. I remember stealing all the quarters out of it and running to the bar next door to play pool. Sadly, the building burned down around 15 years ago and nothing was able to be salvaged. I’d give anything to have that cash register or be able walk through that shop again. I live 1500 miles away from that town now but i think because of those memories, I have such an appreciation for businesses like these and small towns in general. It’s exactly why I seldom use the interstate, love passing through an unfamiliar little town and stopping at the mom and pops.
Thanks for the comment
A true blessing in todays world to know there are still "patches" of evidence that real life still exist. 🥰🥰

Man, that little post office is so cool.. I wonder if the office itself was already in there and they converted it into a post office or if like the us postal service provided them with the office? I know that's a weird question but I'm just so fascinated by that.
Not for sure about that, but thanks for watching
I love hearing the history of these old towns and seeing all the original stores and stories is priceless. Absolutely love it
