The Charlie John's Store was originally founded in 1939 at this location at the Four Corners. The building you see here was built behind the original one in 1986. The supermarket portion is under the Big M label, while the hardware section is under the True Value label. This section is also an addition.
Cart Tax: Unlike other Big M stores, this store has carts that are not Technibilts and are older than 2006. The first two carts were United Steel & Wire units, from 1985 and 1990 respectively. The third cart is a random Unarco of unknown vintage. The carts are stores in three places: one next to the hardware entrance, one next to the supermarket entrance, and in the vestibule.
Vestibule with extra carts and bottle return bins. The entry to the grocery section is to the right.
Front end
Two more Old Western-style signs in the meat and frozen food areas.
But wait, there's more!

While looking at those carts and bottle returns in the vestibule, don't forget to see if you can reCALL that other item on the right hand wall... :)
