“Needed to grab a few things for camping and the D & D Market came up clutch. Wish I would have seen the reviews about those chips... I'll have to get them next time we're in Yooper land!”

“It is an antique store and so much more: multiple kinds of smoked fish available, real snowshoes, UP made jams, coffees, a family artist makes amazing snowshoe with stained glass or fish for rustic wall hangings. There are a few cookie cutter souvenirs if that's what you are looking for. But definitely stop if you want personal service, fish by the pound, vintage fishing lures, antique household wares and kids goodies, with a touch of hometown lore thrown in. You can find something different with each visit. King's and Clyde's and both on my MUST do list!”

“I love these guys!! If I'm getting gas, or snacks, everyone has been very friendly, and happy. It's always clean - and that's a huge compliment with the amount of traffic they get there. I've had my car worked on a few times, also - so I can honestly comment on the shop and the people, and they are awesome! I can honestly say that I feel safer driving around since having my car worked on, and they go above and beyond to help save some money, time, or both. They never complained when I used to pop in for air in my tire all the time (before I was able to get a new one). I've been treated so well here, and send everyone I know here if they need work done. (Don't tell my boss - because I work in a different gas station one town over... I will send our customers over if they need a garage, or if our store runs out of something like bags of ice ? ) Thanks for everything you guys!”
