She describes the place: “If you want to step back in time, take the “back way” to Myrtle Beach and travel down US 521, two miles from Salters. You will find Cooper’s Country Store, owned by Adalyn and George Cooper. It’s like being in another era. It still has the old wooden floors and old-timey meat cases. They sell buckets of lard and barbecued pigs’ feet. In the back of the store, you will find country hams hanging from the ceiling the old fashioned way. It’s probably one of the last ole-timey ‘Mom and Pop’ stores around and it’s right here in South Carolina.”

We love visiting Cooper’s Country Store on our way to Pawleys Island. It wouldn’t be breakfast at Pawleys without country ham from our favorite ol’ timey country store in Salters, SC!

I bought fried chicken skins there just today. FRIED CHICKEN SKINS! I love that place. Reminds me of my granddad’s store. They still have fan belts hanging on racks, hardware, meat counter, panty hose. You name it.

I’m from Baltimore MD, and I love this place. I look forward to stopping there when visiting my mother-in-law and family. This place has the best BBQ and BBQ chicken, not mention country ham. I love to browse around in there looking for treats to take back home like jellies, preserves, dry beans, and canned goods. Can’t wait to get there this summer.
