Molasses Junction Country Store is the kind of place you have to be looking for to find.
Drive down County Road 214 for miles, past open potato fields and the occasional roadkill. When you see the sign that says “Today’s special: ribs, chicken and pork butt,” you know you’re there.
Located right in the middle of the solitude of western St. Johns County farmland, the store, which is almost 60 years old, looks like the setting of a country music video.
Its rustic charm has even been featured the 2007 movie “Moving McAllister” featuring Mila Kunis.
David Doan, store owner since 1996, has seen celebrities like Kunis and Salma Hayek make their way to Molasses Junction.
“They put their pants on the same way we do, but it is exciting,” Doan said.
The people Doan really wants to cater to are his customers.
Most of them he knows on a first-name basis.
