Comment: References #3, #4, #5 are all unrelated to the subject. #1 contains a clear advertisement for the store, indicating it is not independent. #2 has too much interview and sounds pretty routine coverage. Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 15:03, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
General Store Paso Robles is an independent gift and home good retailer with a brick-and-mortar store located in California (USA) and one online retail shop.General Store Paso Robles specializes in local products.
History[edit]
The General Store Paso Robles (see also: General Store PR or GSPR) opened May 17th, 2013 in Paso Robles, California by Erin Purdy, Jillian Waters, and Joeli Yaguda, who run the store as co-owners according to the official store website.
In 2020 the store periodically closed and offered only online or curbside services as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, during San Luis Obispo County's shelter in place orders.[1] The store closed from January 11 to February 11 in 2022 for repairs due to water damage[2]. Otherwise the store had been continuously running since 2013.
The store runs out of the historic downtown Paso Robles 12th street block, which was originally built as the Alexander Hotel in 1888. It was then used by the Paso Robles Mercantile[3], a traditional general store which opened April 4, 1912[4], and then by local furniture business A&R Furniture[5] from 1977 to 2009.
