Alpena General Store is a favorite spot and a great boutique grocery store in Alpena. It offers a good selection of meat, including sausages, brats, and other choices beyond regular beef and chicken, with meats of local origin from locally-raised animals. The store also sells baked goods like donuts and brownies, awesome ice-cream, snacks, and condiments from Michigan producers. The staff provides great and very helpful service, and prices are very fair. It is a nice place to visit for fresh food and specialty items, perfect for those who care about buying locally-produced food and supporting the community.
