This store was also known as Hill Top Groceries.
Though it closed a few years ago, it has been preserved as a community landmark.

Blackmon’s Market, Hilltop
Blackmon’s was one of two grocery stores in the small Hilltop community of Concord.
Hollonville, Georgia
Hollonville is located where Concord Road runs into Georgia Highway 362. And while so many crossroads “towns” all over Georgia have seen their few remaining buildings crumble to ruin, Hollonville has bucked the trend. These two repurposed historic storefronts are home to thriving businesses today. It’s a surprisingly busy place.
Sterlings Grocery, 1896, St. Marys
D. C. Sterling built this grocery store and residence in 1896, after originally operating a location across the street.

West Side Grocery, Fitzgerald
West Side Grocery was recently razed, along with Harry Pittman’s Novelty Warehouse and Floyd’s Hamburger Shack. It was the first “convenience” store in this section of town, if not the entire town.
Saxon, Georgia
Saxon is a crossroads settlement located just south of the Broad River. This old store/filling station is about all that remains. I believe it dates to circa 1930.
Patterson’s Grocery, Milledgeville
This historic grocery store, across Greene Street from the old depot in Milledgeville, is adjacent to property once owned by the O’Connor family. It appears to date from the late 19th or early 20th century.
Robinson’s Grocery, Irwin County
Fountain’s Grocery, Irwin County
This has been identified as Fountain’s or Fountain’s Grocery. It has been slightly relocated from its original location.
Grocery & Gas Station, Sumter County
This is also in the Friendship community, located across the highway from the store in the previous post.
