hen Maggi Pace
launched Sycamore
Snacks as a food
truck in 2022, she
always intended for
it to be a stepping
stone to her dream
of opening a store
on her family's property at 1900 Dutch Oven
Road just off I-81. Under the shade of a grove
of Sycamore trees, her airstream trailer developed
a loyal following for her playful twists on
comfort food eats, such as a blueberry grilled
cheese, featuring sourdough slicked with blueberry
jam and sandwiched with goat cheese,
Swiss, jalapeno and basil, as well as bison
meatloaf, made with locally sourced bison from
Paint Bank. Now, she and her mother, Nancy
Pace (née Hinchee), both Salem natives, will
continue their family's retail legacy by opening
Sycamore Station, a modern-day general store
offering top-notch nosh, coffee, artisanal goods
and a community space for events, workshops
and gatherings.
" I've known since college that I wanted to
do a store in that area. My grandfather had
a general store across street, " Maggi says.
She's referring to Hinchee & Hinchee, which
Nancy's grandfather, Raymond Dyer Hinchee,
established in the 1920s along with his brother,
Roy Hinchee. The general store sold items such
as gas, fresh produce, canned and dry goods and
paint. There was also a butcher shop on site,
and patrons could purchase groceries on a tab
and opt to have them delivered to their home.
Nancy has fond memories of picking out penny
candy at the shop and remembers some folks
stopping by to pick up their mail. In the 1950s,
Nancy's father, Jim, and his brother, Lloyd took
over. Although Maggi only stepped foot in the
store the day it was torn down, she was close
to her grandfather, Jim, so a big impetus for
Sycamore Station was paying homage to him
and her familial ties to the land.
Sycamore Station is divided into three
distinct rooms, including a counter-service
area where folks can order sandwiches such
as turkey-pesto, Gouda-and-sharp-cheddar
pimento cheese and a vegetarian sweet potato
Reuben, featuring thin sweet potato planks
roasted with pastrami spices and layered onto
bread with sauerkraut, homemade thousand
island dressing and Swiss (gluten-free bread
or collard green wraps are also available). Here,
patrons can also choose from café snacks like
scones and cookies, as well as beverages, including
coffee, smoothies, floats and lemon- and
orangeade, a nod to the orangeade that Maggi
