The Old Country Store in Casey Jones Village has self-imposed a 50 percent seating capacity at their dine-in buffet and Dixie Café takeout area.

They are also encouraging Guests to practice social distancing, and expanding their carry-out amid the
coronavirus crisis.

“While this is not a time to panic, The Old Country Store wants to set an example for other Jackson restaurants by assuring our Guest’s that this is a safe and clean place to dine,” said Clark Shaw, CEO of the Old Country Store. “If Guests do not wish to come into the dining room, we are expanding our carry out selections from our Dixie Café.

“We will be offering specials and promotions for both our dine-in and take out options.”

Other changes include:

• Installing eight (8) hand sanitizer stations throughout the Dining Room, Gift Shop, Ice Cream Parlor,
and Dixie Cafe.
• Mandatory hand washing by all team members every 30 minutes.
• Changing utensils on the buffet with clean sets every 30 minutes.
• Closing the dining room and buffet in between meal periods to allow for heavy duty cleaning
and disinfecting of chairs, tables, booths, and the entire buffet.
• Discounts on gift cards available in-store and online.
• Increasing emphasis on carry-out, small catering orders, and individual deliveries through the
WAITR app.
• Introducing temporary breakfast to-go from the buffet for $6.49 per pound.

“At the Old Country Store, we are thankful for the support of our locals and ask them to
continue to support all local businesses in these trying times.” Shaw said.

The Old Country Store is open from 6:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday-Saturday and
8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., Sundays.
