Fred’s Backside Deli and Fred’s General Mercantile are Beech Mountain staples, located at 501 Beech Mountain Parkway in Beech Mountain, North Carolina. Conveniently positioned right on the mountain, Fred’s is the kind of place visitors and locals depend on before a day of skiing, after a morning of exploring, or when they simply need one stop that has a little bit of everything. It has the feel of an old-fashioned mountain general store, but with the practical convenience today’s travelers need.

Fred’s Backside Deli, located on the lower level of Fred’s General Mercantile, is a favorite for breakfast and lunch. Breakfast includes hearty mountain-style options like eggs, biscuits, waffles, breakfast sandwiches, bagels, cinnamon rolls, and traditional platters. For lunch, guests can enjoy sandwiches, burgers, homemade soups, salads, chili, beverages, desserts, and casual deli favorites. It is a great stop for families, skiers, workers, and vacationers who want a relaxed meal without having to leave Beech Mountain.

Beyond the deli, Fred’s General Mercantile is one of the most convenient businesses on Beech Mountain. It offers groceries, ski rentals, clothing, ski accessories, hardware, firewood, gifts, toys, gardening supplies, and plenty of everyday mountain essentials. Whether someone needs breakfast before hitting the slopes, lunch after skiing, groceries for the cabin, rental gear for the family, or a last-minute hardware item, Fred’s serves as a true one-stop shop for Beech Mountain visitors and residents.
