“Love this little store. Staff is very friendly. They carry a large supply of many different and unique liquors and have lottery. They also carry your typical small convenient store items such as sodas, candy, chips, some small grocery and household items.”
“I remember going to that store when I was a kid when Jan and Woody still owned it. A new owner just took it over and he is a awesome guy. The store is really clean and they are vary friendly. CRASHRACING approved.”
“I stop here 5 days a week before work and get a fountain pop. I'm usually running late and don't have time to get a punch card. Stopped in today and the staff had started me one because they noticed I never ask for one. Just thought this needed to be mentioned because there are not a lot of places out there that put in the extra effort for their customers. Awesome customer service!”
“Soil Friends in Galesburg is one of those places you’re just happy exists.
We’ve gone the last couple years and every time the experience keeps growing and getting better. It’s the kind of spot where you can slow down, spend some time outside, and just enjoy being part of something local. You can tell a lot of heart and hard work is going into building this place.
What really stands out is the potential. You can see the vision. Every season there’s a little more happening, a little more growth, and it’s exciting to watch something like that develop right here in our community.
It’s honestly disappointing to hear that the township has been pushing back on them, because places like this are exactly what small communities need. Local businesses that bring people together, create experiences for families, and add something positive to the area.
I truly hope they’re able to push through the obstacles, because Soil Friends isn’t just a business — it’s becoming a community asset.
We’ll definitely keep coming back and we’re excited to see what this place grows into in the years ahead. 🌱”
