Chickie's General Store is a true local treasure and a delightful store located on the court square in downtown Newark. It is a lovingly run family business with a charming, genuine feel and a welcoming atmosphere. The store offers a wide assortment of items, including many Amish meats and cheeses, specialty grocery items, and high-quality pantry items. It is the go-to place for scratch-made sandwiches and salads, with each order freshly made to perfection. The deli selections are top-notch, featuring quality meats and cheeses, and the subs and salads are huge. The store also has a quirky assortment of candies and sweets, pastries, snacks, and locally produced pickles, perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth. The staff is very friendly and provides exceptional service. Parking around the square is free and close, with the front door being ground level and accessible. It is a great place to pick up what you forgot while downtown, making it a community gem for a meal or a tasty snack.
The staff are extremely friendly and their food is phenomenal. I come here at least twice if not more a week and it is always consistent. They have some of the best subs and salads around. Great variety and selection
