We at Oleson's are excited about the prospect of helping you raise funds for your group. We'd like to take this time to give you a bit of additional information about how the program works. There are Community Share Redemption Envelopes and Collection Boxes available for your use at any Oleson's Food Store office.
In your lifetime, you've seen brands come and go and you know there aren't many that survive even a couple of years, let alone over a hundred. Our Family, however, has survived and thrived since 1904, making it one of the oldest and most established brands in the country. Our Family is a brand you can trust time and time again because our commitment to quality has remained the same, generation after generation.
Our bakers love to bake, and we think you will agree when you experience the appealing variety of fresh-baked breads, rolls and sweet treats they supply every day! We make sure we carry only the freshest and only the best, just like we would serve our families! Shop for trusted premier brands like Wilson's, Dietz & Watson, Reser's and Old Tyme.
Oleson's Food Stores owns one of the largest buffalo herds east of the Mississippi, running 250-350 head of buffalo at any given time. Buffalo can often be seen grazing at Oleson's Buffalo Farm just south of Traverse City along U.S. 31. Because we raise our own buffalo, we can guide their diets and predict the health benefits of the meat.

We found everything we needed at the store. It was great and had a great selection. Unfortunately, while I was standing in line, a "Karen" was bothering my friend and I while we were in line. She forced me to move in line like two seconds after the people in front of me moved one millimeter toward the door. I was not paying attention and she yelled at me. My ears still hurt. She yelled at me again because I did not put my items on the conveyor belt quick enough. Later, we found "Karen" walking around Downtown Charlevoix with her toilet paper. It was very funny.
We were here on August 3rd at around

The best deli, meats, and produce in the Traverse City area. The only knock I can give on this store is that their pop and frozen dinners are more expensive than the big stores. So many times at the big stores I get beaten up produce but not here. The deli here is the best around, really good potato salad. Oh and the bakery is quite good to.

I love Oleson's. Truly a great grocery store and a very generous family. I remember meeting the original owner Jerry Oleson back when I was in Boy Scouts in the 80's. They would let the local troops use their cabin on Long Lake for our winter retreats. Great man and a great American dream story. Their store now a days is very clean and the staff are pleasant and attentive. Sure the groceries might be a few penny's more than the mega mart down the road but it's worth it for the better service.

This grocery store beats having to wait in long lines at Meijer! I usually don't have to wait very long to check out here.
They sell local buffalo, you can find it in the frozen food section. Occasionally, they have fresh ground buffalo.
I am happy to see more and more local products being sold here, please keep them coming!
There is also a nice touch-less car wash here.
