SWIFTWATER GENERAL STORE – NEW RIVER GORGE is set to open in Spring of 2021. A welcome addition to the thriving community of Lansing, West Virginia, the store is located on the North side of the New River Gorge Bridge, about half a mile off U.S. 19, at 464 Ames Heights Road. Swiftwater General Store will operate from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm with extended hours on busy weekends.
Our ancestors worked in coal company stores in Fayette County and ran stores in Mingo County. We have always loved the feel and purpose of the “old general store.” Our Charleston operations – Swiftwater Café has been thriving in downtown Charleston, West Virginia, since 2003, and Swiftwater General Store has been a Capitol Street staple since 2013. Our years of experience in these combined ventures will be invaluable as we embark on this new endeavor.
Our mission has always been and continues to be: To set new standards in customer service and to employ a team of kind, friendly, and professional staff who will meet the demand of the community with passion and purpose.
The new Swiftwater General Store location has presented itself in the heart of the New River Gorge National Park near our home, family, friends, and hobbies. We look forward to continuing the tradition of locally-owned family business at the New River Gorge location for the rest of our lives. We will strive to meet the needs of the community for a year-round, sustainable business.
