Wonderful Store

What a wonderful store in the small town of Speculator. They sell fun local products and have a nice variety for those with dietary restrictions. They have both groceries and hardware and overall a great variety of products.

They have everything that you need

This is a great store at the main intersection in town. They have everything that you need. All food items, fresh deli meats, beer, books, camping gear, water toys, firewood, knives, fishing gear, and anything else you need for a weekend in Speculator. Their stock also changes for different seasons so if you are looking for something in particular just ask them. They have always been able to help me find what I need.

It had everything we needed to replenish supplies for camping.

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.
