When people hear "general store," they sometimes picture a small shelf of chips and a soda cooler. Clarkes General Store & Eatery is a lot more than that. Tucked into the woods of Beaver Creek, Oregon, Clarkes has spent nearly 100 years being the one stop where locals can grab groceries, household essentials, and everyday supplies without making the drive into town.
If you've never walked our aisles, here's a real look at everything you'll find at Clarkes.
Everyday Grocery & Pantry Staples
Clarkes keeps the basics stocked so you can put a meal together without a trip to a full-size grocery store. That means peanut butter and jelly, Hershey's syrup, cooking oil, sugar, flour, soups, condiments, noodles, mac and cheese, tortillas, marshmallows, Jell-O, pudding, lime juice, lemon juice, and a full lineup of seasonings and baking staples. Whether you're cooking a full dinner at the cabin or just need one missing ingredient, there's a good chance we've got it.
Snacks & Candy for Every Craving
This is where Clarkes really shines. We carry all the classics: Chex Mix, Cheez-Its, Pringles, Nutter Butters, Snickers, and just about every candy bar you can think of, plus gum, sunflower seeds, mixed nuts, jerky, and Twinkies. Whether you're stocking up for a road trip, a hike, or just need something to snack on with a cold drink, our candy and snack aisle has you covered.
Dairy, Eggs & Refrigerated Essentials
Forgot the eggs? Need milk for the morning coffee? Clarkes stocks the refrigerated basics: eggs, milk, butter, sour cream, half and half, whipping cream, and hot dogs. It's exactly the kind of last-minute grocery run Clarkes was built for.
Drinks, Coffee & Something Cold
Beyond bottled water and sodas, we carry energy drinks like Red Bull and Monster, plus Twisted Tea in the coolers. Our in-store coffee station is stocked and ready, alongside breakfast muffins and other grab-and-go bites for the morning rush. Looking for something sweet after? We've got ice cream too.
Beer & Coolers
Clarkes coolers are stocked with beer — cases of Coors Light, Mike's, and other favorites — along with other canned and bottled drinks. We don't currently carry hard liquor, but we're in the process of converting our bar to a full-scale setup, so keep an eye out for updates.
Health & Personal Care
Ran out of toothpaste? Forgot deodorant before a trip? Clarke's carries a full lineup of personal care essentials: toothpaste, deodorant, razors, hairbrushes, nail clippers and nail files, sunscreen, baby powder, hydrogen peroxide, Band-Aids, first aid kits, cough drops, and vapor rub. It's the kind of stuff you don't think about until you need it — and out here in the woods, we're often the only place around to get it.
Baby & Family Essentials
For families with little ones, we stock diapers (including swim diapers), baby wipes, and other family essentials, so a diaper emergency doesn't have to mean a long drive.
Household, Auto & Outdoor Supplies
Clarkes is a real hardware-meets-household stop too. We carry batteries, flashlights, scissors, can openers, glue, tape, candles, soap, and toilet paper for the house, along with motor oil, motor coolant, and WD-40 for your vehicle. Whether it's a household fix or something for the truck, there's a good chance you can find it here instead of driving to town.
Pet Supplies & Cleaning Products
Don't forget the four-legged members of the family — Clarkes carries cat food and dog food, along with a range of everyday cleaning products and kitchen bags to keep your home running smoothly.
Tobacco Products
Clarkes carries a range of tobacco products, including cigarettes, Zyn, Copenhagen, and blunt wraps, for adult customers 21 and over. Valid ID is required for all tobacco purchases.
Supporting Local — Homemade & Local Vendor Goods
One of our favorite parts of running a general store is the chance to support other local businesses. Clarkes carries homemade and small-batch items from local makers, including freeze-dried candy and other locally produced goods, giving our neighbors a place to sell what they make and giving you something you won't find at a big chain store.
One Stop, No Drive Into Town Needed
Living out in the woods around Beaver Creek means the nearest big grocery store isn't always close. That's exactly the gap Clarkes has filled for nearly 100 years — a place where you can grab dinner ingredients, a first aid kit, dog food, and a cold beer, all in one stop, without losing half your day to a drive into town.
