For the first time in nearly 80 years, a new commercial business arrived at the historic Pumpkintown crossroads. The arrival of Dollar General sparked conversations about growth, preservation, and the future of one of South Carolina’s oldest communities.
Step inside one of the Upstate’s most beloved hidden gems. Serving the Pumpkintown community since 1938, Pumpkintown General Store & Café combines small-town charm, Southern comfort food, and mountain hospitality just minutes from Table Rock State Park. From homemade biscuits and cheesy hash browns to nostalgic history and scenic mountain drives, this historic landmark remains a must-stop destination in the South Carolina mountains.
