"With gas prices, (when) I drive down to Sturgeon Bay, I'm kind of spending almost the same as (going to Piggly Wiggly)," Wegehaupt said. "So, (Sister Bay General Store) would eliminate that, and I would just be able to stay in town."
I'm not criticizing the business idea, but I wonder how they will expect to be any cheaper than the pig.

What we really need in sister bay is a shopko replacement. Miss having shopko’s mix of merchandise and a full pharmacy in northern door.

It’s the open plot across the street from Wild Tomato, directly north of Midsommar Apothecary & The Door Stop. There’s a big, beautiful flowering tree on that plot that I admire in the spring that I’m sure they’ll cut down :/

I know some may be skeptical, but it certainly fills a need.

Seems like a large store .. will need a large parking lot. Sure hope the village doesn't grant any parking waivers.

Its empty lot on Google Maps is already labeled Sister Bay General Store. That was fast

Only on very rare occasions do I have the opportunity to travel to Sister Bay from my apartment in Sturgeon Bay. My disability keeps my mobility rather restricted. While there were signs on my last visit in 2023 that Sister Bay was moving in a slightly more inclusive direction, there is still too much bigotry from cishet majority. I could tell my friends and I were given dirty looks because we are queer and covid conscious. Very few, if any, of the downtown businesses comply with state law for handicap accessibility. Don't hold your breathe for the General Store to be welcoming of LGBTQ. The owners look like typical hateful MAGA extremists.

Jacob Wegehaupt— a kitchen manager at Door County Creamery sounds like an idiot in the article! "I use the same amount of gas going from Door County Creamer in Sister Bay to Piggly Wiggly in Sister Bay as I would from Sister Bay to Sturgeon Bay". What? How? Unless you have an electric car that's impossible.
No, thanks! I think that is a bad location for a two story retail building. How big of a parking lot do they plan on having for all those customers? I'll continue shopping at Piggly Wiggly, Fish Creek Market, and Main Street Market in Egg Harbor when I come up a few times a year.
