If you’ve been through the town before, you may remember that Jerky Junction was housed in the former Pennsylvania Railroad Depot on Railroad Street.

He’s since moved into a bright and welcoming building right in town. It is really fun to shop!

There are so many funny hot sauce names and really creative bottles. You could spend a good long while just admiring the creativity of these bottlers! Slap Ya Mama, Trailer Trash, and Belligerent Blaze were a few that popped out at me.

But you don’t want to stand here all day–you would miss out on some other really fun parts of Jerky Junction.

My husband had a field day browsing around the neat rubs, marinades, and even barbecue sauce found within this Grant County shop.

But those who want to take a trip down through memory lane may be very interested in what lies inside the refrigerated cases near the back of the shop.

Glance inside and you may think it’s the usual soft drinks but if you stop to take a closer look…you may just realize that there’s glass bottles in there!

Yes, Jerky Junction carries vintage soda pop.
