Home of the world famous BLT, Merritt’s is a quaint little mark of Chapel Hill history that opened in 1929.
“During the 49 years Merritt ran the store, Merritt’s became more than a gas station. Students and veterans came for the social atmosphere. Law students sat around Merritt’s pot-bellied stove, on a bench Merritt nicknamed the “liar’s bench” (Laura Oleniacz, MyNC).
Loving this place and calling it a second home, I try to go here as much as possible.
