- At the crossroads of Highways 18 and 27 in Cleveland County sits a country store, boutique, cafe, ice cream parlor, and coffee shop called Redbone Willy's Trading Company.

As producer Teresa Litschke discovered, there's a lot going on in a relatively small space, all cleverly orchestrated by its owner.

[upbeat music] - [Teresa] This is the unincorporated community of Toluca, North Carolina, also known as Lawndale, an area that seems like it's in the middle of nowhere, yet, as far as mileage goes, is close to everywhere.

- I'm going from Court Square to here.

Shelby, 18, Hickory, 20, Morganton, 20, Lincolnton, 16, Charitable, 14, Asheville, 75, and Charlotte, 45.

- [Teresa] As long time resident Glenda Miller found, it was the perfect place to offer everything she loves, packaged in a business called Redbone Willy's Trading Company.

- I knew I needed something that would catch your eye because of the traffic going so fast through here, 55, 60, 65 miles an hour.

It had to have something that would confuse people enough to want to stop.

- [Teresa] So the legend of Redbone Willy is fictitious, but the catchy name seems to have worked.

- It's a unique place, very unique.

I've heard about it over the years.

- It's a great, eclectic, fun, beautiful place.

Stop by.

There's lots of different things to see.

- [Teresa] So much, in fact, trying to label the store is kind of tough.

- I am a high end, I would say vintage, country, western, boho.

I don't even know how to explain it.

- Fun, unusual.

Sometimes it can be overwhelming.

[laughs] - Well, first of all, you're gonna be amazed when you come here, I hope.

Most people, they walk in the door and they go, Wow."

- [laughs] I could spend hours in here, literally.

- [Teresa] That's because you can find just about anything.

- Clothing, accessories, some home decor, shoes, bags, jewelry, sandwiches, ice cream.

This, that, and the other.

[laughs] - [Teresa] Which includes pantry items.

- [Glenda] The country store, I have my jams, my jellies, dressings.

- [Teresa] A coffee shop.

- [Glenda] We have frappes, cappuccinos, espresso.

- [Teresa] And a place for prepared foods called the Bonehead Cafe.

- We have about 40 different sandwiches.

They're all grilled on sourdough.

But I have always been a fan of the Mater Melt.

- We don't use margarine, we use butter.

Everything's better with butter.

- That is sourdough bread, tomatoes, lots of cheese, mayonnaise, Duke's Mayonnaise, garlic, hot sauce, salt and pepper.

And I think bacon now.

I think she's upgraded to add bacon.

- [Glenda] There you go.

- [Teresa] Add to that salads, soups, and more that are, of course... - All homemade.

All homemade.

All homemade, yes.

All my homemade ice cream is made from scratch.

I have about 40, 45 different flavors.

Not all of 'em I make because I can't get past the first 22, 'cause they're everybody's favorites.

- It's amazing.

- And she makes 'em?

- Absolutely.

She spends a lot of time making her ice cream.

- All right, my most popular ice cream flavors are Monkey Madness, which is banana pudding.

So I use all the ingredients that you would put in your homemade banana pudding, goes into that ice cream.

That's number one.

Southern Comfort is like my number two.

I make all my pecan pies from scratch.

I put a vanilla base, I put the whole pie in the ice cream, along with the nuts and my homemade brownies.

- Well, you can tell it's homemade.

There's a difference.

It's smooth.

Can taste the little bites of the pie in it, and pecans.

- [Teresa] But one of the most popular attractions is the true legend here, Glenda herself, if you can ever catch her not working.

- People say, "Well, where's Glenda at today?"

And I'm back here cooking.

And they want me to come out and talk, and I can't because I've got all these orders backed up, so I just want everybody to know that I'm in the kitchen, I'm cooking, I love you, hey, thank you, and come back.

- Redbone Willy's Trading Company is at 6533 Fallston Road in Lawndale, and they're open Wednesday through Sunday from noon to 5:00 PM.
