Situated along scenic Highway 128 at the entrance of Sorrel River Ranch, is JJ”s Mercantile, an old fashioned general store reminiscent of days gone by. The visitor-be they a guest at the ranch, local, camper or passer-by, will find curated gifts, groceries, camping gear, apparel, logo tees and hats, art and jewelry from Moab artisans, retro toys and games. The open kitchen and bakery offers tasty breakfast treats, hot coffee and espresso, sandwiches and salads and delights from the bakery. Pick up “grab-and-go”for the day’s events or dine on the wraparound porch with panoramic views or the comfortable lounge, cool in summer and cozy in winter. The handsome building was meant to evoke western old time sentiment while the interior has striking details of barnwood, tin and galvanized steel. The open kitchen features black subway tile and glass frame with custom counters and service area. Leather couches and an antique wood stove create comfort and style in the lounge. A great spot to hold an event as the store is divided by garage doors to section off the lounge if privacy is desired.
