Company store
A company store is a retail store selling a limited range of food, clothing and daily necessities to employees of a company. It is typical of a company town in a remote area where virtually everyone is employed by one firm, such as a coal mine. In a company town, the housing is owned by the company but there may be independent stores there or nearby. Regarding this reputation, economic historian Price V. Fishback wrote that: The stores served numerous functions, such as a locus for the government post office, and as the cultural and community center where people could freely gather.
