Staff proved minimal on the friendly or welcoming front, and even less impressive on the usefulness scale. While the variety of grocery items they carry is wide, there are only a few (sometimes only one) options for each item on your list. The liquor store side seemed to have a more depth of selection than the grocery side, which makes a salient & concise comment on the priorities found in the lake area of the north woods. Kudos to them for having fresh produce and fresh meat (albeit cryovac packed) among other diverse choices in the grocery section. Prices are high, but no moreso than other convenience stores. For being located immediately outside the gate of a trendy resort, the prices could be called reasonable. A couple demerits on a hit & run breakfast of a couple pastries. The chocolate cake donut was so fragile it broke into several pieces when I picked it up with the sani-paper wrap. The remains in the case of another failed attempt by someone else showed I wasn't the first to crush breakfast bread trying to get fed. When I mentioned these broken choco-donuts to the cashier on checkout & how they might alert the vendor to the product failure, her rampant & visceral indifference was so obvious & transparent that when she promised "I'll tell ..." person, only a fool would believe she intended to do squat with the customer comment. Placation was not achieved. The blueberry filled bismark was commercial grade at best, which ain't a good thing in my world. It tasted distinctly old & stale, with a musty flavor that bordered on a moldy spoiled taste. On the plus side, the amount of filling injected into the breadage was generous. Downside of the filling was its obvious lack of actual berry ingredient (chemical counterfeiting at its finest) and a texture like drywall joint compound or tile mortar.

Male cashier/clerk had the personality of a box of rocks. No greeting, no Thank You. His greeting was "ya". These employees could use some training. I will not spend my hard earned money at a place like this. Seems they don't need my business acting like that.
