This is a great grocery store in the area. One of the larger grocery stores in the area and has a great variety of stuff. Not many gluten free options but overall very good for simple groceries.

Our family stopped here while camping in the area. The area is remote, and we were happy to find this store for our needs. It is a grocery type store, and had everything we needed to replenish supplies for camping.....especially beer :) They have a large walk in cooler with many craft beer selections available. We will be stopping here whenever we are in the area.

The people are down-to-earth and if you give the store a good first impression, they will treat you like one of their own kinfolks. Each employee has a character of their own, and is always an experience to talk with them. The store has a time of itself. A mixture of modern and the good-ol-days. It reflex
