Never been to this kind of store, A-Z everything you could want or need. It's nice there! My experience there was far from good. My son works @ this store. I showed respect towards everyone there i including staff and customers! Looked around, and I purchased a scripto candle lighter and a drink, bunch of people looking to buy lunch were in line I grabbed my drink and moved aside so the people could get thier food and head back to work. Forgetting my candle lighter behind accidently. My son came outside and gave me my item in a brown bag said thanks, and I would be giving him a ride home. While waiting , they serve nice hot ready to eat food grabbed 2 chili dogs. Sat on one of 2benches outside and ate my lunch. There was a few people in the store, and asked woman that made every sloppy hotdogs, but delicious "Do I pay for these here?" No you pay at the register in the front of the store. Making my way to the front distracted by movement in the store almost left without paying caught myself turned and payed the 8 bucks for 2 hotdogs waiting for my son to get outta work, haven't seen much of him being disabled and hospitalized for the last 30 days I sat in my 2020 Impala waiting patiently for him to get out. Needed a drink for medication so went back in and got myself a Calypso drink get approached by the owner asking me"wow this is the 3rd time you have been in here today said yes to make a long story short accused me of trying to steal 2 different things very rude and disrespectful towards a paying customer. 1 pack of menthol 15.00 candle lighter 5.00 2 hotdogs 8 bucks 2 drinks for 6 bucks for both. Linda, Lori or whom ever you are treating people like this is not acceptable. You told me my son is a good kid and is very polite. He's my son that's how he was raised with honesty and respect. Take some notes!

It’s bigger on the inside I swear! It has everything! Great service, great selection. Best GS I’ve been to overall.

This place is amazing. You start with a little convenience store and then move into a grocery store, then move to a hardware store then move into a gift shop. I think the only thing they don't have is elective surgery. Yet.

This is the most general general store that I have ever seen - it has *everything*, ranging from fresh ingredients, meals to take out and food products, to hardware to clothing and foot wear, in a building that is much larger than it appears from the front. I especially liked the great range of kitchen wares and gadgets. Wonderful place to browse.

I have been coming to Little Compton since i was a child and we now own a house here. Wilbur's has always been an important institution to our town. New ownership/management has been generally good, starting with an improved and quite credible hardware section for such a small store. The gift section is fun and well selected.. Prices are extremely high for groceries but we have tried hard to give this store some of our weekly business because it, as an institution, is so important to our town. However management needs to more carefully monitor the behavior of its staff toward customers. I speak specifically of one person who is sometimes at checkout and who acts as if it is an imposition on her if you dare to bring items to the checkout counter and make her stand up from her chair to take your money. Her gruff, unpleasant and exceedingly rude behavior has turned us off on two separate occasions, to the point that we now hesitate to shop at Wilburs at all. Most staff are fine and helpful. It is always a shame when one bad apple spoils the whole barrel.

What an amazing place. Centrally located so you can get everything you need in one trip. It really has everything you could need. Artesian ginger beer, hardware for your next project, amazing made to order food. The staff is helpful too. The world needs more of these establishments.

Great little local and friendly store. Groceries including a deli. Freezer and Refrigerator isle for limited items. Hardware store down in back fairly well stocked for basic repairs. I don't know what Little Compton would do without it...

Love the commons lunch but they're neighbor is just about the worst store I've ever been to. Consistently subpar service, ridiculous hours, and everything is about $1 past reasonably priced. Better to just make the drive to Lee's than waste your time unless absolutely necessary.

Wilbur's is a classic general store which manages to have just what you need and can prevent unnecessary treks to big box stores. Really nice folks too.

Truly a general store--they have everything! Resort wear, hardware, candy, grocery staples, books by local authors, deli sandwiches, etc. Credit cards accepted for purchases over $10.

They got the good marinades and pretty much everyone in little Compton are very respectful so even tho things are expensive there, it's an overall good atmosphere to shop in

Pay three dollars extra on every product, but they're the only show in town. Very diverse stock. Convenience, hardware, deli, home goods, grocery, etc.

Wilbur's General Store sells just about everything from Sandwiches to children's toys, men's clothing, and everything in between. If they don't have it, you don't need it.

Wilbur's has everything you could want or expect from a General Store in Coastal New England. From nuts and bolts to fillet mignon, soap to saws, they got it.
