Situated at 1010 Little Apple Dr in Thaxton, Virginia, Thaxton Market isn’t a traditional dog park but a charming, multi-purpose local spot that welcomes passing travelers and residents alike. Known as a longstanding community market and roadside gas station, visitors appreciate its welcoming atmosphere and diverse amenities. While not a typical off-leash dog park, Thaxton Market offers convenient green space and a laid-back country vibe for those traveling with pets.
The market provides much more than your standard convenience stop, featuring snacks, hot food, fuel, and friendly customer service. While there isn’t a designated fenced dog play area or agility equipment, dog owners will find this a convenient pet-friendly stop on road trips through Thaxton, especially for quick breaks and supplies. Its small-town hospitality stands out along this stretch of highway in Virginia.
Couldn’t ask for a better local mart, great people, decent food (much better food than any other gas station along this stretch of hwy). If you need a quick snack, some fuel or heck even some hot dogs for lunch stop on by this place.
Just a good old country store. They also have a FedEx, UPS drop off point too, which is handy.
I rented a uhaul here and they are great people. The store is packed with all kinds of stuff. It’s not an overly lit chain store. It’s a local roadside gas station and market that’s been here for years.
Great customer service! I was traveling through and got some much needed human interaction with really great people! Thank you for the ice!
Loved this place until they started switching up the meats. Found a hair in my burger which then lost my business. Good spot though cheap products and food used the be heavenly, probably still is but I just can’t bring myself to try it again.
