The Gold Mine Store & Grill

The Gold Mine Store & Grill is a beloved family-owned convenience store and grill located at 5949 Sherrills Ford Road in Catawba, North Carolina. Steeped in local history, this establishment's roots trace back to the mid-1800s when gold mining flourished in the area, specifically near the historic Shuford Mine which first discovered gold in 1840 right across the road from the current location. Now celebrating nearly 30 years of service to the greater Catawba and Sherrills Ford community, the store offers an impressive array of services under one roof. The grill serves mouth-watering burgers, hand-breaded chicken, fresh-cut potato wedges, and the best slushies in town, while also featuring F'real milkshakes, cold beer, and wine. Beyond food, customers can fill up on gas and diesel fuel, purchase live fishing bait, get propane refills, and take care of official business including hunting and fishing licenses, boat registrations, notary services, and burning permits. Open Monday through Saturday from 5AM to 9:30PM (grill until 8PM) and Sunday from 7AM to 9:30PM (pizza and grill until 8:30PM), The Gold Mine Store & Grill is managed by a dedicated team including Owner Elaine Martin, Vice President Cyndi Miller, and General Manager Kolbe Miller. The combination of rich local history, quality homemade-style food, and comprehensive convenience services makes this a true community landmark.
