Varner's Store in "Lizards in Jamshyd’s Courtyard" (Location)

The country store that Will Varner owns and that Flem Snopes runs is the center of social life in "the Frenchman's Bend country" (139). Suratt, for example, always stops there on his professional travels, sharing and gathering information from the groups of local farmers who can almost invariably be found "squatting along the porch" that faces the road (139).
