Country Junction is a retail store located in Forest Inn, Pennsylvania, near Lehighton. It began in 1984 as The Service Team Insulation and Construction Company before adding hardware sales and a home center to its business. In 1997, the store was renamed Country Junction and expanded further to include home, garden, gifts, and decor items.

The main building of the store is known as "The World's Largest General Store" and has become a popular tourist destination. The store has animated figures, life-size statuary, and themed areas such as "Pirates Cove," "A Bit of Italy," "The Wharf," and a rainforest. It also features wildlife exhibits, a restaurant with a theater, a coffee shop, and a petting zoo.

On the morning of October 3, 2006, the store was destroyed by a fire. It reopened in a temporary location on the adjacent property. In June 2009, the store's owner began rebuilding and the rebuilt store opened on February 13, 2010.
