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.
Good choices for meats, veggies and sauces if you want a good large sandwich, service is timely and you fill out an order sheet to order. Would recommend.

Absolutely love this place! Small town feel. Owned and ran by a father/daughter duo which is so sweet. Everything I've gotten has been fantastic. Would definitely give way more stars if allowed!

Me and my whole office love Chickie’s. I go at least once a week to get their fresh, delicious sandwiches. The folks there are wonderful and incredibly friendly. You can get so much from the general store as well, from baked goods, to wine, to local meats and cheeses. 10/10
