About Us
WHO WE ARE
Back in 2018, we purchased and renovated the original Country Style Market location on Pine Grove Ave. in Fort Gratiot. Even before our ownership this store stood as a symbol of fresh, no compromises, quality food in our community and we have made great strides to continue that tradition. We closed this location April 15th of 2023 and are focused on the downtown location.
In 2019, our purchase of the former Woolworth building was finalized and demolition began. We encountered many setbacks throughout the renovation process pushing our grand opening date further and further back until finally in March of 2022 we opened our doors!
We are proud to now serve the Blue Water Area and hope that you will give us a chance to show you the Country Style difference!
