Marine General Store

Came upon Marine General Store while taking a casual drive outside of Stillwater, MN. The 173 year old building is a historic gem! The original front door and check out counter gave this General Store a true, authentic feel from a bygone Era. We spent our time looking over wonderful tasting goods from the deli and bakery (everything made on the premises!). Better than all the goods we purchased were the people we spoke with: down-to- earth, kind humans all around. The gentlemen overseeing the deli and checkout were friendly, helpful, and a delight to converse with. Several locals in the store also joined in conversations and we felt quite welcome. Being new to the area (MN), this was a great way to spend part of our day!

I love the Marine General Store. How cool is it to shop in the oldest continuous general store in the state? The food and deli are amazing, you can find classy cold drinks (Clearly Canadian, Weinhard's root beer, etc), and the kids love the candy selection. One of my indulgences is buying a day old bakery product on sale and devouring multiple servings.

Please don't mind that the prices may be a bit higher than your normal grocery experience. This is a small business that strives to help the community with quality products and staffing. It's worth the extra buck. Enjoy the experience of pressing down the brass thumb latch on the door that is worn paper thin from over a century of satisfied customers.

Anytime I'm in the area, I make a point of it to visit the store. I love the area so much, I hope to move to Marine when I retire.

Lovely old store in a beautiful town along the wonderful St. Croix River.

Had carryout lunch that I ate at a picnic table across the street. There are no tables in the store to eat at.

Always enjoy stopping at the cozy Marine General Store on scenic Hwy 95 in any season when traveling to Taylor's Falls and the North Shore. Independently owned and operated, the store has a friendly staff and as the name implies, a little bit of everything including a fabulous deli, bakery, coffee, groceries, and helpful general merchandise. Located in the heart of the architecturally historic and walkable Marine on St Croix, there is ample green space, a river landing, and one of my favorite gazebos in Minnesota. Check it out!

This location isn't entirely accurate. I've been to the Marine General Store a few times, and it's just fine. But this time I was at The Village Scoop, an Ice Cream Store located behind the Marine General Store. I go there every year. It's a tradition that started when my kids were young. They are no longer young, and they weren't with me this time. The place had been remodeled, and it had really needed it. I got a scoop of Superman ice cream in a waffle cone. It was delicious.

Walk in and step back in time. Vintage general store with almost anything you would need if you’re camping in the area, or needed to pick up something you forgot. More selections than I thought there would be from looking on the outside. Pretty sure the hardwood floors are original if not the majority of the interior. It was fun to walk through the store.

Stop in for a sandwich or other fare from their deli! Turkey sandwich on cranberry bread was something I would try again. They have a lot of groceries and hardware here too - most of what you would need. A unique spot in a small town!

Addorable store with a variety of vintage items.

Love that they have Canadian candy there! AERO BARS AND CRUNCHIES

Awesome store!! They have everything! Groceries, deli, bakery, sweatshirts & a lot more. We've driven by for years but finally stopped. Glad we did. Friendly people too

Nice store with everything you might need and more things you might want.

This is my absolute favorite spot to stop when I’m in the area. Fresh sandwiches with tons of choices at the deli are a must of it’s around lunch time and your hungry. Baked goods, salads and specials every week! Every staff member I’ve come across there is helpful, accommodating and kind. I couldn’t recommend this spot any more. I’d give ten stars if that was a thing!

I love the old general store atmosphere nice people and well stocked clean store I always stop on my way through

Awesome staff! little gas station type store with little nik nak type things. The thing i love most about this store is the fact they have a spot in the back where they will make you a fresh sandwich how you like it!

Cute local store. Organic and local foods available.

I just stopped in really quick on my way through and it's so cute!

A "go to" for a summer road trip.
The deli makes outstanding sandwiches, and the general store has everything you could need .

They were open on Xmas Day 2020 thank goodness and we just dropped in for some snacks after a long drive and because the town looked very charming. The building itself probably has a long and colorful history and you can see bits of that nailed to the wall but alas no time to explain.

There is a bakery downstairs that I can very highly commend and is worth a return visit. Asides, a generously stocked grocer and deli.

They have really been helping me out with all the covid stuff going on. You can call in your order , and they will bring it out to the car for you. I have been going to this General Store since before they had new owners and I have to say it's always a nice place to stop. The current owners are very friendly and the current staff is amazing. In the past we used to walk down there from our house and get the fish tacos which are absolutely amazing as well.

Love this place! They have a little bit of everything, but I especially love their deli selection! Their sandwiches are excellent!! Totally worth the stop if you’re nearby!
