Best Side Mercantile is a great little grocery store that makes it easy to get what is needed near the lake. The shop has many necessities and novelties packed into the space, and staff are friendly and professional. They even gave a treat to a customer's fur child. The store saves customers a 25‑minute drive into town. It is stocked with steaks, produce, beer, wine, and a southern fried pickle dip, plus a boat and tackle section with live minnows, an ice chest, and t‑shirts. Prices are fair, similar to Walmart, and the community thanks the store for being there.
