yadkin food mart

US 601
Yadkinville, NC

After some internet searching, I figured out that the lettering was painted/stencilled on top of an old Crown gas station sign. I think this is the first Crown gas station sign I've come across in my travels.

Those old signs featured a star, which you can just see peeking out above the A in GAS. This sign likely goes back to the 1950s or 60s; the logo for the 70s had the star inside the O.

Yadkin Food Mart is closed -- permanently, according to Google.
