Still serving here as well is R.M. Brooks Store, which has admirably sustained the village for many months after the Harrow Road Cafe fire. Brooks is open daily for lunch and takeout, except Wednesdays & Sundays, with their award-winning fried bologna sandwiches and much more on an expanded menu in a comfortable dining area within a 100-year-old general store. It’s located just a bit over of a mile west of central Rugby. Proprietor/operator Tiffany, whose grandparents started the store, welcomes you. Phone 423-628-2533.
