Anybody know if this place is open again I've heard it is but here online it says Temporary closed
Ok i stopped in on the 4th of july. Just to grab some worms for fishing and a few beers to quince my thirst. My experince was plesant and my purchace was satisfing
These guys are great! Amazing selection on michigan brews. Single bottles or cans. If they dont have it they will get it for you!
Alcohol is sold at state minimum price, and the store is privately, rather than corporately owned; If you are in the area and looking for a mainstream liquor brand, give them a go. Selection is good, albeit a bit modest, but you'll find several dozen options in terms of whiskey, scotch, and rum. They also carry the mainstream beer and wine brands. If you want a quick in-and-out, try bypassing Meijer and stop here
Friendly people always eager to help out where they can. Just good people. Store has a good beer selection with good prices. Weekly rates for the motel are great too.
Willow Lakes party store is family owned and operated. They have one of the best wine selections, and their prices are very modest. Highly recommended.
