I will admit that before our friend moved there, I'd never heard of King Ferry. I'm glad I know about it now, and the Corner Store played a big part in the King Ferry adventure we recently had.
It's true, King Ferry is a little isolated. But the Corner Store is a gem. Most of the time, places like this can skate by on being the only outlet in town. This is not the case here. The King Ferry Corner Store makes a point of going above and beyond what these stores usually might do in similar instances.
We stopped in to grab lunch and look around on a recent afternoon visit. I chose the Mediterranean chickpea soup, one of the best versions I've had of this soup concept. Who knew this was right here, in plain sight? Paired with a fresh chocolate snickerdoodle cookie, it was exactly what I never realized I wanted in that exact moment. The next time we're in the area, I plan to try one of the sandwiches or something I hadn't thought about, just to mix things up.
The Corner Store has everything you might expect from a convenience store, plus a few extras. I am the type of person who loves sampling local wares, and we purchased regional jams and maple syrup. There were some other things for sale that you might expect to find in a farmers market as well. For a small store, there were a lot of grocery options, some I would expect to see, and some I was pleasantly surprised by.
We're likely going to make the Corner Store a must-do when we're in town visiting our friend. Sometimes the gems that sparkle the most are where you wouldn't have known to look. King Ferry is lucky to have the Corner Store as a resource for locals and visitors alike. read more
