JR MOORE & SON

JR Moore & Son was founded in 1935 in the small community of Gulf, NC by John Romulus Moore and his son Richard Murchison Moore At the time of its opening, the store serviced the surrounding community by providing a local place to buy staples that were not readily available in the immediate area. To further access their customers, the Moore's ran a regular route to bring staples to their customer's door. This tradition lasted until the 1950's. After the passing of his father, Richard continued expanding and evolving the store. His philosophy was that the key to success in business was "When you see a need, you meet it". In a 1976 newspaper article, Richard Moore had this to say about his business: " If we didn't have all the stuff we got here, we'd a been gone years ago. the secret of this business is the stock. We got hardware, plumbing supplies, shoes, denims, gasoline, groceries, well, just about anything that folks need."... We are an original "Country Store" and offer something..
