Hankins' Store is a historic commercial building at Ferry Road and Main Street (Arkansas Highway 14) in Oil Trough, Arkansas. It is a single-story wood-frame structure, built out of local cypress lumber, with a gable roof and clapboard siding that is original to its 1904 construction. An open porch extends across its front. The store stands near the White River Slough, a former course of the White River. It served the local community for almost exactly 100 years, closing in 2004, and typifies early 20th-century general stores.[1]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.
