Nestled in the mixed conifers at 8,800 feet elevation, the North Rim Country Store has been in business since the early 1950s. Located within the North Kaibab Ranger District, it started originally as a small convenience store, gas station, and auto garage. The store continues to sell groceries, camping supplies, hiking and traveler souvenirs, along with gasoline and diesel for campers, hunters and visitors to the Grand Canyon National Park North Rim and surrounding Kaibab National Forest.
Being the only store of its kind between Jacob Lake and the Grand Canyon Park entrance it is well known by the locals, hikers, campers and hunters who stop in to supplement their supplies and fill up their fuel tanks while out in the beautiful surrounding Kaibab forest. In addition to fuel, it also provides a propane filling station and an ATM. Beer, wine, a good selection of hiking resupplies for Rim2Rim and Arizona Trail hikers, and general souvenirs for all tourists are also aways in stock.
The business operates the 870 sq. foot store with additional living space of 1,098 sq. footage and 4.72 acres of land under a permit with the US Forest Service, Kaibab National Forest. The building has living quarters which include two bedrooms and a living room upstairs along with a bathroom, kitchen and office downstairs at the store level.
