Is by far The Mercantile 1855, Teresa opened it in May of 2018, it was in many hands before then, but by far she seems to be the one most concerned with keeping prices reasonable enough not only for tourists but locals!
I love her slogan too, “Little House on the Prairie Meets Trader Joe’s. “ She sales a lot of Organic, Dairy Free and Vegan Products, along with the Normal fail and she loves her customers, treating them more like friends!

Oh wow, I love those homey type stores. She will become part of the history of the place. Do you know if she plans to pass it down to her children or grandchildren when she is unable to run it?

@Michellekidwell Oh okay. I just think it would be nice if it stayed in the family for several generations.

I don’t know! I think her children are on different paths, her Mom helps her run it though!

It's nice to see the tradition of an historic store carried on.
