The Wrinkled Egg® is a great place to hang out.

Since 1891, the old white general store on the corner of W. Blue Ridge Road and Greenville Highway, now known as The Wrinkled Egg, has been the center of community life in Historic Flat Rock. For almost one hundred years the store offered everything from farm fresh eggs and a relatively recent copy of the New York Times, to a little local gossip around an old wood stove.

While life has certainly changed since the turn of the nineteenth century, this special corner is more alive, eclectic, and intriguing than ever before. The Wrinkled Egg now anchors this colorful corner, offering an unusual collection of goods and eateries. Here you will find original southern folk art, well-priced antiques and vintage treasures, beautiful women’s clothing, local pottery, and fun stuff for kids.

Named in honor of a very special Rhode Island Red hen that once roamed the backyard with her friends and truly laid an occasional accordion-like “wrinkled” egg, The Wrinkled Egg is as unusual as its name. Some might tell you there’s no such thing as a “wrinkled” egg. In reality, it’s certainly true and one of nature’s special surprises. In this spirit, you’re sure to find The Wrinkled Egg a rare and special find.

Shop for something truly different, pet our lop-eared bunny, talk to the finches, enjoy a pizza on the back deck, or savor some wood-smoked BBQ under a shady magnolia. Just like the old days, good conversation, old fashioned service, and friendly smiles are can always be found here.

The Wrinkled Egg is nationally recognized as the nation’s leader for exceptional summer camp care packages. The store is locally favored for its organic atmosphere, eclectic mix of equestrian goods, southern folk art, apparel, toys and antique treasures, along with outstanding wood-smoked BBQ and brick oven pizzas offered by adjoining restaurants Hubba Hubba Smokehouse and Flat Rock Village Bakery.
