We love this locally owned grocery! Any time we stay at Mirror Lake Vacation Retreat it’s SO SO nice to have a well-stocked grocery just 2 minutes away! The owners and staff are super friendly and we all love the made to order deli sandwiches. 5 Stars all the way!!

The brats, sausages, and bacon from the deli are my favorite. I stop every time I go through town.
