G&M Variety is a charming, old-fashioned store that offers a wide and interesting selection of merchandise. The store is designed to look like a classic five-and-dime, with nearly every inch of space filled with items you might not know you needed, including beach necessities, souvenirs, gifts, toys, puzzles, games, home decor, craft supplies, and more. Visitors enjoy the nostalgic atmosphere, featuring original hardwood floors and a fun, lively environment. The store also has old-fashioned candies, soda, and a ride called Sandy for just a quarter, adding to its nostalgic appeal. Prices are generally reasonable, especially considering it’s a tourist town. Customers often find hard-to-get items like goat milk soap and educational toys, and appreciate the clean bathrooms and organized layout. Overall, G&M Variety is a fun, well-stocked place that offers something for everyone and keeps the spirit of the classic dime store alive.
I like this place. It was like I was 10 years old again.

Cool. Eclectic. Old-timey. Nostalgic. G&M Variety is such a fun shop to browse! This is one of my wife and my favorite places to visit when we are in Saint Joseph. Highly recommended to visit if you’re in the area.
