The store features a popular deli with delicious sandwiches, salads, and hot foods, including breakfast and lunch options, with many items made from local farm products. Visitors often praise the ample selection of local foods, snacks, spices, and souvenirs, including products made by local craftspeople. The store also has a great gift section with many gift and souvenir items, perfect for visitors to Monson, Borestone Mountain, or Moosehead Lake.

What a great little shop on the way to Moosehead! The sandwich counter in the back is a hidden gem and absolutely worth the stop on your way to the lake. The general store has all kinds of groceries and other necessities if you forgot to pack something, too.
