VERY RUDE OWNER!!! in a nutshell..... The owner is very rude & has 0 customer service skills. I speak of this from personal experience. He yells at his customers & is a bully. When he's not around, the place is fine! His business wouldn't be running without the one time tourists who stop by just once in the summer because they either come across it or heard about it from the people who actually had a good experience there because he wasn't around. He will be the fall of his business one day. The multiple bad reviews all over the internet are proof of all of this. Go ahead, look & see for yourself on Google reviews, Yelp, etc.

i.e., A local favorite, or highly recommended becauseToday is 5.10.2013 and it is my thirty-third anniversary of being married to my wife. Yesterday, we had the pleasure of being customers of this fine establishment. This is a very fine representation of what an actual General Store would have been like. Even the pickle in the large pickle barrel was very tasty. I live in Kalamazoo and I am planning on re-visiting this establishment next year. This is very clearly a positive step back in time. It is what it is and if you do not like a historically accurate place, keep your pampered, spoiled and pretentious self home! James
