Alabama NewsCenter — New Conecuh Sausage Gift Shop Is Hog Heaven
By Michelle Matthews
This is Alabama
It’s been a long time coming, but the new Conecuh Sausage gift shop is now open at the Interstate Highway 65 Exit 96 in Evergreen. Not only is it a convenient place for travelers to stop, offering clean bathrooms and sausage dogs to go, but it’s also a destination for anyone who loves the taste of the iconic sausage (pronounced Cuh-NECK-uh) that has been a beloved Alabama tradition since 1947.
The 7,000-square-foot gift shop had a soft opening in August, but the company plans to have a grand opening in late October. The former gift shop carried many of the same items, but they were squeezed into 800 square feet of space.
“It’s quite a big difference,” said John Sessions, the grandson of the company’s founder.
