Small-town Wyoming grocery stores can be a little different.

Some different selection in food items, sure.

But also in how the store chooses to decorate.

In the video below, a young lady shows what's high up on the walls of one small-town Wyoming grocery store that she would never see in the big city.

She writes:

Every two weeks, we find ourselves in a new state — and our favorite part? Discovering what surprises the local grocery store has in store for us!

 

This is a grocery store in Saratoga, Wyoming.

It takes a state store like Wyoming to put up animal skins and taxidermy.

Imagine doing that in some blue state big city store.

Let's hang a giant moose head.

How about a mountain lion skin?

A taxidermied running coyote over the freezer section.

This would not work without a massive bear skin on the wall, maybe several.

Let's do a jumping lion and a bison head.

What would PETA think?

NEWS FLASH! Wyoming doesn't care what PETA thinks.

Behind the American flag that proudly hangs in the middle of the store, a taxidermy lion is sitting on an 8-foot-high cooler.

All normal stuff in a state like Wyoming.

Even welcomed and adored.

When serving your customers, you need to know your audience.

I'm sure there is a story behind everything we see hanging on these walls.

You can believe that the store owner is proud.

Some of those displays are expensive.

They set the mood for shopping in the Cowboy State.

Cattle & Crawfish, A Wyoming Roundup Story

It's the time of year when Wyoming ranchers get together and help each other with the roundup.

These are family and neighbor affairs.

After the work is done, there is always a gathering and a meal.

This year, it was imported crawfish - boiled.

Wyoming's Ceepiest Pet Cemetery

The writing on the stones shows that these people loved their pets so much that they wanted to take special care of them when they died.

Yet, approaching this place looks like something out of a Stephen King novel.
