Nichols in DeQuincy, Louisiana:A Dry Goods Store Unlike Any Other

I recently posted a Blog on the City of DeQuincy, Louisiana and how this small town reminded me of Mayberry.

Part II of my visit to DeQuincy, LA  is my discovery of Nichols in DeQuincyNichols is a dry goods store that has been in business since 1914.  If you didn't know about this little gem of a store you would drive right past it.  The exterior looks like a very old hardware store

and actually it reminds me of the general store run by Sam Drucker in the old Green Acres TV series.

Nichols was founded in DeQuincy in 1914 and has grown with four other locations in Many, Winnfield, Leesville and Coushatta, Louisiana.  This is not your ordinary store and once you step foot inside you will see what makes Nichols so unique.

As these interior photos show, there are aisles of home-yard decor, LSU items as well as sporting goods for all your sportsmen!  There is even a baby gift and clothing section!  You will be amazed at what Nichols has to offer and can spend hours inside just going up and down each aisle. I saw everything from deer stands and fishing lures to fine interior home decor and flip flops!   I left with a basket full of goodies and was able to check a baby and wedding gift off my list! Oh and did I mention that they wrapped my gifts for me because that saved me time too!

  Nichols is a reason to visit DeQuincy again and I plan on going back to check out what Nichols will bring home from market for the holidays this year! Expect another Blog on Nichols from me in the future!

I love the touch of a small family owned business in a small community. It feels so nice when they ask about your family, and not just how much you owe them.

I too just love stores like this. I can get lost for hours in them. If I'm ever driving through I'll be sure and visit.

It has a little bit of everything. I drive north just to go to Nichols. It's the one place my husband and I can both go together and neither one of us is bored. He goes there for all his hunting and fishing needs and I go there for gifts and just to 'mill around'. I'm going there tonight because I need another baby shower gift, and some more hand lotion and gift bags and...
