Our Story
The salt marshes were to lend their name to the first village in the Roanoke Valley, which started on the east-west path as Gainsborough in 1834. The town soon came to be known as Big Lick. Big Lick Public House was opened in Roanoke in 1997, and after much success the Lynchburg store was opened in 1998. Today the Lynchburg store is the only location. We are fortunate to be part of such a supportive and wonderful community that has kept our local spot alive for more than 28 years.
