Hellesøy General Store

For people living along the coast, general stores play an important role. They make survival easier in isolated communities by fulfilling several basic needs: supplies, socialising, gossip, culture, laughter and a place to wet your whistle. A general store always reflects the character of its whereabouts as well as the personality of its owner. If you want to encounter the life and charm of a coastal community, pop into Hellesøy General Store. The shop’s regulars have their own named coffee cups hanging on the wall, the freezer doubles as a banquet table, and visitors are encouraged to sign a guest book.
