Joyce General Store

Since the town of Joyce is so small, I think Unilocal defaults the address to Port Angeles. Joyce is a small unincorporated town quite a distance from Port Angeles. I stopped here to get a shot of the post office which is actually inside the general store which actually is really nice for such a small town. There is quite of variety of fresh foods and sandwiches and beverages.
Joyce basically is the general store, a museum, and a small café. At least there is a place to stop for gas though if you’re between Port Angeles and Clallam Bay.

The slogan here is «if we don’t have it, then you don’t need it.» The statement is pretty true. I found mushroom brushes here in addition to Shin ramen and mifin. I was pretty amazed at the selection of goods. The place also hosts the local post office. There are some really old fridges in the shop. The store celebrated its centennial in 2011. All people who love Joyces should come here and buy «I Love Joyce» bumper stickers.

The little town of Joyce, WA has grown a little bit since my last visit here about 14 years ago. There is now a couple more businesses lining this tiny strip which marks the uptown and downtown portion of Joyce.
The general store has always been here and is the sole provider of provisions and gasoline for this little area. The next closest civilization is in Port Angeles. The store is cram packed with as much variety as the proprietors seemingly could squeeze into every spare square inch of this place. Wine, Beer, Camping supplies, even a tiny selection of fresh produce can be found here. It houses the town Post Office.
Check out the antique original gas pump that is still located on the property, if you are into that thing.
Those in the know are aware of the most awesome recreation area on the planet that is just a few miles from here… Making this general store a convenient and necessary stop for travelers and locals alike.

If you are in the Port Angeles area and want to visit a small town where time seems to stand still, then go to the town of Joyce! I went here with my fellow Twi-​hard friends and we decided to go here to see a different setting, plus my friend’s name is Joyce and she wanted to go to a place where her name was like a virus which took over the whole town. We stopped into the Joyce General Store and much to our chagrin, this place was a store, post office, gas station, and meeting place for many Joyce residents. We were astonished to see Asian products such as Calbee brand chips and Mexican candies. (2 stars off for having a not so clean restroom) So if you are on your way to Port Angeles or to Forks, try to include Joyce in your route, its a quaint town that will put a smile on your face, especially if your name is Joyce!
