Border Station interior
Border Station (14,714 square feet)
4732 S Battlefield Boulevard/100 Caratoke Highway, Chesapeake, VA/Moyock, NC
Built and opened in 1998
I've always been intrigued by this store during my commutes to the Outer Banks, but, if I'm not mistaken, I've never actually stopped in here. So while I was out today I figured it was finally time to see what the Border Station has to offer! The building literally sits on the NC/VA state line, which is represented by blue and red tiles running diagonally across the floor, and is technically split into two sections for each state. The Virginia side seen in this photo houses most of the typical convenience store products, including some food stuff from Stuckey's, plus their own lottery program and those weird skill games I've seen in various places in the state recently. Meanwhile, the North Carolina side houses a walk-in tobacco shop, the Mister Jim's restaurant, their own lottery program, some beach-related goods, and fireworks. It’s a pretty unique place for what would otherwise be a tourist trap!
