Big Blue Stores are similar to a Tractor Supply Store. There are three in small eastern NC towns (Kinston, Clinton, and Elizabethtown). I think they were originally from Ohio, but are down to the three in NC now. I used to sell them building materials (25 years ago or so) - wish I had noticed the Buck 112 when they had them for sale! I used to buy my Carhartt clothes and Georgia boots from them, first place I ever saw that brand of jeans, shirts, etc. OH
