Loved it! Came in from out of town for some liquor and couldn't help but notice the other hidden gems! Produce is fresh, big in size and small in price. Cucumbers, apples, tomatoes, melons, lettuce you name it. It's there and the size is great! Better than you're average Meijer or Walmart produce. They even have bird and animal feed! Trying to get some meat? Boy are they packin! Huge portions and options: steak, chicken, pork, burgers, beef and all things poultry. Impressed was an understatement. If you need some spirits they got what you need! Pints to fifths and more. They have beer, snacks, and other common food staples. It's not your Meijer but what you need food wise is there, definitely give it a go! Worth it! I was very impressed and am sad I don't have one closer to home. read more

We have to go through Alpena to get to our Northern MI place way up US23. To be honest Alpena is kinda boring with not much going on (I'm being nice) but this store puts Alpena on the map! Perch's (right on S.US23 = convenient) is a small family owned grocery store with recent improvements, they just added a cute coffee shop inside the store. Nice touch. The meat counter is very special! Great guys work back there and are eager to help and make small talk while you wait. The meat is the best quality in the area and very reasonably priced. They will de-bone your chicken, split it and skin it with no extra charge. They have a good selection of quality home grown produce as you can see in my pics. Huge brussel sprouts! Best part? They carry Plath's bacon and ham! Nice and clean and I never smell meat rotting like some grocery stores (you know the smell). Very busy at times especially during lunch because they sell homemade lunch items like sandwiches, salads and soups, homemade brownies, carrot cake and lots of other stuff. I just like the small hometown feel serving up impeccable service! Can be pricey but they run good sales, I got a pound of freshly sliced Eckrich (however you spell that!) Hard Salami for $2.99, they had coupons right at the counter running with the sale. It was delicious! Good Beer run place, too! read more

So I came in the other day to spend a little money. I ordered 10 pounds of bacon to be wrapped in 1 pound quantities. You know, the way the entire world sells bacon. If I had bought a steak, pork chops, chicken, a meatloaf, they all would've been wrapped individually in the white butchers paper. But since I had asked for the bacon to be wrapped individually they actually charged me extra for the butchers paper. Seriously, what a low class thing to do to a good customer who has shopped in this store for the last 60+ years. I'll just go up to Plath's to purchase my bacon from now on. I'm sure they'll wrap it for me, it'll be cheaper and they'll appreciate the fact that I came in to be a customer. read more

This is one of our favorite little grocery stores! The produce is always fresh and the meat is always great quality. We stop almost everyday to get dinner supplies on the way home. They have quite a range of items as well including delicious caramel apples around Valentine's Day. read more

We stop at this store all the time. It's super convenient on our way home and the service is always great. The meat counter is where we purchase nearly all of our meat and their produce is always good quality. Plus, they deliver groceries which really helps one of our elderly relatives. read more

Good place to stop in for quickly picking up items. Its on the small side for a grocery but very convenient since items are quickly found. Love the deli and meat counter. The staff is very helpful and quick to answer questions. Check out process is fast and they have ample convenient parking. Great smoked and stuffed chops. read more
