Lori's Store

There are a lot of mixed reviews about this store and they are unfounded. You will pay a bit more because it’s on an island, there are also a bunch of commentaries on the attitude of the gentleman that works there…

First of all the store is immaculate, so clean, I would purchase any one of their products. Secondly, we camped at Big Bay State Park in August, it was a magical experience but we didn’t spend much time in town. The town is so completely overrun with tourists, parking is nuts… if I lived on an island year round to escape people like that, it might be difficult to deal with a bunch of entitled crabs coming in during the summer, acting like they make your whole business. The reality is that this business exists year round by serving the island, maybe customers should try being a little kinder? Clearly the store is needed or you wouldn’t be shopping there to begin with? Madeline Island is a treasure and when I return I will definitely shop at Lori’s Store!

Clean store, decent prices for being on an island, they had most of what we needed. Thank you!

They have most everything you need! Friendly staff and a clean store!

Leinenkugels Original cans and Old Dutch pretzels.

Rick seemed stressed and unhappy to have me in his store. I'm grateful for him being open, given he's the only store on the island left and his strict one person at a time policy during covid is needed.

The store had ice and sour cream, so we left with what we wanted. We also felt icky and like we were inconveniencing the man working behind the counter. Ah well, we met waaay more nice people than this not so nice guy.

I get it. I was a tourist in your town and in your store. But no need to be impolite. It’s the tourists whether you like it or not that keeps your lights on for the rest of the year.

Spent $30 on booze and some chips on a Wed afternoon. When we started to cross the street to take the kid to the playground the store clerk came out and barked at us about leaving our van parked in the lot. I understand on a busy day but it was just us and one other car in the lot. He didn't know this but we were leaving in about 15 min. I have seen this guy be rude to other visitors then super chummy with the year rout locals. This will be the last time we shop here, the Island Market staff are friendly and have more selection.

I've been here twice now and the guy is just rude and not at all friendly. I thought maybe I caught him on a bad day the first time, but nope. Go to Island Market instead.

Only nearby store with decent prices but the owner laughed rudely in my face when I asked a question and refused to accept my purchase. Make sure to bring cash or you'll have a bad time. Worst experience in a store ever.

Not very friendly person at the register
