The staff here is a bunch of older ladies who are downright rude! Any vendors in here should beware that these ladies could be and probably are harming your sales! My mom, son and I came into look at beads. Of course the toy section caught my two year olds eye and I took him over there. They had several items I had actually been searching for. My little one climbed in the little car we've been looking to buy and the lady came around the corner within the first two minutes were there, as he was getting out, she said "no no, get out of that car. this area is not to play in, it's only to purchase" I must have had a puzzled look on my face as she never identified herself, was scolding my own child in front of me and was wearing a purse, as if she was a customer. She then said, "why are you making that face?" SERIOUSLY? I said, "I didn't mean to make any sort of face, but I'm trying to figure out who you are and what you're telling us. She again reiterated that this was not a play area. I said "well I was intending on purchasing from this area but not anymore." I told my son "sorry baby we have to leave, you can't touch anything" this of course lead to him crying and I had to physically remove him from the store. I just can't believe that someone would talk to us this way and really expect a child not to touch toys. Not coming back here.

The Coop (play on words right? Coop like chicken house, and co-op like cooperative of farmers and…read moremerchants distributing goods and services) is a great community place and the Brain child of O'Brien Byrd. As a local, I have been coming here for a few years and find that it is the best in the valley. Recently other towns have picked up on its success (ahem Bigfork) and are attempting to copy Columbia Falls' success. The music featured at the coop is pretty fun and you will find a mix of good ol montanans, hippies, kids and others who just enjoy live music. Thursday's are great for picking up local vegetables and baked goods, flowers and novelties. The ImagineIf library comes to bring fun for the kids, there's a climbing wall and a bouncy house. There's a good selection of food trucks to satisfy your hunger and I've never had anything I haven't liked. Montana made gifts are also here. Get yourself a sno cone, a beer and a snack. See which distillery is featured and what brewery is featured for the evening. Leave happy and fat. But please cross on the designated cross walks and don't drink and drive.

You simply must stop here!!

You really can't go wrong with any of the options. They let you put anything they have in ANY of the other sandwiches in the sando. 5 stars!!

Loved the cheese selection (they give samples!) and took home some Bear Jam. So much to choose from! We'll see you again soon.

Hey, you know I love you, right? So don't take it personally when I tell you I'm not sharing any of…read moremy M&S Meats beef jerky with you. I want to be clear about this. So I'm telling you up front. Don't get any ideas. Don't ask for a piece. Just leave me be. Better yet, go online and order you some for yourself. That's the smart move. M&S Meats jerky is the absolute best I've ever had, and I've been eating jerky for over fifty years. It's best by a wide margin. It's way better than any other jerky I know of. It's kinda pricey, too. But this jerky is totally worth it. It's a treasure. Maybe a more generous soul would gladly share their treasure with you. I suggest you go looking for that person, 'cause for sure I ain't him. M&S has so many wonderful jerkies to choose from. I have tried a few different ones but I always come back to the Original. I get the Original erry time. Once in a while I'll add a package of Black Pepper Jerky to my order. That Black Pepper jerky is hella good. If you are used to eating inferior jerky, this jerky might seem "tough" and a little hard to chew. That's because this is real jerky. Real, authentic jerky. It's chewy, as it's supposed to be. When you tear off a strip and pop it into your mouth you have to chew a little bit to get it going. And when it gets going, you better hold on to something, because you're about to experience a slow motion tsunami of rich beefy flavor being released inside your mouth. The flavor just does not quit. Chew it slowly and savor that flavor. Soooo satisfying! M&S Meats jerky is so great because it is made from choice cuts of whole muscle meat. This jerky is hand-cut, hand-hung and hand-smoked. This jerky is about as far as you can get from the chopped and formed abominations you might find for sale in a plastic tub next to the cash register at your local liquor store. If you love beef jerky, or you love someone who does, I recommend you try some M&S Meats jerky. I get shipments on the reg. I usually buy four or five packages at a time. These days a quarter pound of jerky is $14.99. Shipping to my part of the country is $8.99, for one to seven 1/4 lb packages. and shipping is free if you buy 8 or more packages. Oh yeah, I wanted to mention they also sell Huckleberry Jam, and like 40 something other Huckleberry products. I'm adding some of that jam to my next order. Mikey C says: Nope. Sorry. Not one piece. Get your own!
