In the South, the main doors would have bene opened for so long, there'd be stacked stuff preventing them from being closed. Most buildings in the deep South used screen doors only due to the heat (especially as I don't see any AC in the back of the building, something you wouldn't have seen back then anyway).

 

The only thing I'd suggest adding would be the obligatory chair(s) out front and at least one old codger sitting outside, ready impart wisdom on any 'young whippersnapper' who comes in. Any rural country store, even into the 1970s, would have that.

Great job on the store - very realistic with cool signs. It brings back memories of being an 8-10 year old and sticking huge piles of S&H green stamps into those books they had with my mother, and going to the corner store to get Old Gold cigarettes (back in the late 50s when kids could buy them) for my grandma.  But most of all, I can hear those screen doors on the front entrance slamming shut when they close.  You just had to do that when you went in or out of the store.
