Okay as a gift ship in a tourist town- but not particularly excellent or bad.. just okay…read more. It's a middle of the road, slightly overpriced tourist destination in Tawas.. and f you need a quick souvenir or fudge etc, it's probably somewhere you stop if you have kids or are with others and everyone has different tastes but they aren't into shopping in every gift shop downtown.. I bought a t shirt here but most of the gifts or souvenirs are overpriced and not particularly interesting to me. It's not my cup of tea in the realm of tourist gift shops (I prefer more nice or boutique), but it'll suffice.. Service is ok, prices high, selection is on par with most northern Michigan gift emporiums.

Value-wise, their prices can be slightly higher than in bigger cities, but you'll have to drive a lot longer for your supplies. Overall, I recommend Ausable Hardware.

I decided to by one for $3.50 or so but they have a $5 minimum for credit cards and I like to use my card, partly because of the good receipts I get while travelling and also for the record of purchases that come with my bill. So I grabbed another WT card to meet the minimum. The cards are pretty, though.
