Warm wood, beeswax candlelight, and Lake Superior in every corner.

Worth the stop

The kind of store you tell people about later.

You came up here for the dunes, the lighthouse, and Lake Superior. The Mercantile is the part of the trip you didn't plan — Michigan honey and gourmet food, handmade candles, Lake Superior stones turned into art, a cooler of Michigan craft drinks, and vintage finds with real stories. Take the U.P. home with you.
