“I've been coming here since I was a little girl. People working are friendly. It's changed a lot, but mostly in that their selection has gotten larger. It used to be that you couldn't find special dietary items, like in most of the north woods. But now they have pretty much everything!They always decorate for the seasons and it makes me happy to see the decorations year after year. It feels cozy.”

“We had a damaged tire/ axle on our trailer with a load of sheet rock for a bath remodel during a heavy rain storm right before closing time. Jason and Mike ( and the entire staff inside) were very kind and understanding. They let us park under the gas pump canopy and then had it towed to one of there back barns so everything didn’t get ruined in the rain. The Dietz family has rescued our family several times over many, many years and their staff continues to serve. Thank you so very very much, especially to Jason and Mike you both were so kind and helpful.”
