Merritt’s Store & Grill: Serving Since 1929
Posted Aug 10, 2018
Merritt’s Store and Grill in Chapel Hill is known for their famous BLT sandwiches, but that wasn’t always the case. Back in 1929, the store was actually a gas station. The original owners, Eben and Ruby Merritt, ran the Esso gas station for almost five decades. The establishment provided gas pumps alongside a small convenience store, and occasionally performed car repairs.
