“Logan is such a helpful associate. I always have a positive experience when he’s the person ringing me out. The blonde old lady with the glasses I can’t say the same about… but any time Logan cashes me out I leave happy.”

“What's not to love about a towns country store! Usually open before the grocery store, better coffee than the dunkin across the street, and typically has better prices.Was up early (5:00) and needed milk so took a quick trip down to grab some. Was the only store open and on this cloudy morning the store lit up corner. They had local milk in the refrigerator from a farm in South Hadley so I went with that to help support the local cows, probably better for my allergies too. I remember as a kid I would stop down on my bike & skateboard before my sport practices for my sugar rush of candy. Warheads, crave, sweedish fish.... So glad I grew out of that phase... but the bakery goods as you walk in looks just as tempting to buy! Pretty sure they still have local meat in a freezer but didn't really look around for it. If you are driving through please stop in to support your local business. I promise you it is worth the investment, especially if you are grabbing a coffee because the line at dunkin across the street gets to be stupid long and you can be in and out of here in seconds.”
