We will have anywhere from 0-100 inches of snow/rain/sleet/ice this weekend 🥶 but don’t worry, we’ve got a local gas station that can cover you from head to toe in warm weather gear 👏
If you’ve traveled up Highway 71 towards Nickelsville, chances are you’ve passed Mountain View Market. And if you’ve ever stopped in, chances are you haven’t left empty-handed 🤚🏻 They carry everything from gas, and bologna sandwiches, to Carhartt jackets, muck boots, jewelry, ice cream, gloves, fishing gear, and farm supplies. Family owned and operated for over 62 years, this place is a true Scott County staple ❤️ It’s the kind of place where you’ll leave feeling like a friend. We are so thankful for Mountain View Market and what they mean to our community!
📍 Address: 903 Nickelsville Hwy., Gate City, VA
Make sure to stop by and show them some love 💕
