Juliette Britton owns J.J. Hapgood General Store and Eatery
in Peru, Vermont. While she was working Sunday, she received a call
about a very important person coming in to eat. They wanted to make sure
not many people were around.Paul stopped in after a day on the slopes at Bromley. A picture is posted on the J.J. Hapgood's Twitter account. Britton said they waited until Tuesday to release the picture because she feared a paparazzi frenzy.
"It's
very exciting," Britton said. "It's an honor and actually when he was
here he asked me about the store, the beams; he asked if they were
original, that was one of his questions."
McCartney told Britton a celebrity friend said he should stop by to check out the store's diverse menu.
"He ordered a margherita pizza and he ordered a kale salad," Britton said. "I understand he's a vegetarian and he heard we have a lot of vegetarian options, organic kale."
And a side of red sauce too.
J.J. Hapgood first opened 150 years ago and is the longest-running general store in Vermont. It is recognized as a destination after being featured in the 1987 movie "Baby Boom," starring Diane Keaton.
When you walk through the aisles at J.J. Hapgood, you never know what or who you may find. But the cozy, quiet atmosphere is great for everyone, whether you're a local or a celebrity.
"Peru is a really special place," Britton said. "And I think that this place on Earth for whatever reason is charmed and we feel pretty lucky."
Britton tells us her favorite McCartney song is "Jet." She said it was a nickname of hers growing up. And now, as she runs the general store, she hopes more folks jet over to check it out.
