Long before there were enormous supermarkets and online orders, little country stores had just about everything you could ever want or need. In a small Wisconsin town, you can still experience the magic of one of these amazing little stores. The Gibson Corner Grocery sells everything from special baked goods to throwback candy and enough bulk ingredients that will keep you baking for a very long time. Here’s why you have to visit this special store.
The store is located in Reeseville, a small community in Dodge County. It’s about an hour from Milwaukee and 45 minutes from Madison.
If you’re expecting this country store to be fancy and ornate, you may be surprised. Gibson Corner Grocery is an Amish store, so it’s just about the necessities.
If you love cooking and good food, there’s a real beauty to this store. You can find bulk items like flour and spices in quantities that you’ll never find in an ordinary market. A trip here will save you time and money!
The store’s shelves are loaded with items – everything from cage free brown eggs to spices, grains, nuts and more. The prices are as great as the selection.
If you have a sweet tooth, you’ll definitely want to visit the store on a Saturday – the store has fresh homemade bakery items for sale. The selection varies but includes bread, pie, noodles, pretzels, muffins, doughnuts, bars, small, chocolate cakes, angel food cake, pecan pie, and more.
Gibson Corner Grocery also has fresh local vegetables for sale seasonally, so it’s a good place to visit during the growing season. The store is open year round but it’s closed on Tuesdays and Sundays. If you love country stores, here’s another classic spot you’ll want to visit in the Wiscvonsin Northwoods – it’s stocked with a huge selection of candy!
