On his shirt pocket are embroidered the words "Your Quality Meat Store." He's proud of his meat department, espe- cially compared to the ones in bigger, newer stores where he says the meat is oſten prepared elsewhere. "Most of it is done in another location. But every- thing you see here, we touch, we put our hands on," Carroll says. "Everything's fresh. We make our own sausage." Throughout our conversation, he repeatedly utters the words "customer service" as if speaking them comes as naturally as breathing. "The bottom line is customer service and the little details," he says just before volunteer- ing to cut a man's pork ribs. "We have a wonderful little store." It is a wonderful little store in a wonderful little town. Stedman will likely continue to grow, especially with Highway 24 expected to swell to four lanes in the next few years. But I hope the people hurrying through town will consider stopping to smell the canta- loupe at Carroll's – or, like me, will find the words "soda shop" irresistible. CV
