Anderson’s Market

A nice market with a lot of choice cheeses and wine. While on vacation we stopped here a few times. The cashiers are so friendly. It’s a really clean, cute store. Not overpriced either.

What a delightful and conveniently located market. We were staying in Glen Arbor and were so grateful to find this place. We thought we would have to drive to Traverse City to obtain groceries, but Anderson’s had what we needed and more at very reasonable prices for a tourist area. We really enjoyed the long wooden skewers we picked up there for roasting marshmallows. I was also surprised to find Barritt’s Ginger Beer — one of my absolute favorites!

Perfect for picking up a few healthier items while camping in the area. Lots of gluten free and vegetarian choices, especially compared to other grocery stores in the vicinity. Quality meats prepared on site. Lovely bread selection. Produce looked fresh. I’m glad I found this place, especially after shopping at the grocer in Empire!

Wow, what an upgrade! This grocery store has expanded out over the former patio and added some great new products, focusing on local, fresh, and handmade specialties. Anderson’s– more than just toilet paper and s’mores!
My new favorites are the huge deli counter and fresh deli salads– try the Tuscan Bean salad, and try not to eat the whole container, I dare you. I fell in love with the Koeze brand natural peanut butter, made in Michigan with real Virginia peanuts, and bought several jars to bring back home with me from our summer trip to Glen Arbor.
The wine selection is always entertaining– try some local selections with some fresh cherries.
Pints of Moomers’ famous ice cream can be found in the ice cream case– try Cookie Monster (oreo and cookie dough).

the prices are high the selection is not the best but they are super super convenient are a really needed place there is really no other options and I am glad they are there

Expensive, but worth it. They have lots of organics and local foods. Produce was fresh. I believe they recently renovated it and it looks stunning. I don’t mind paying a little more here when I am in the area.

Groceries: Expensive but über convenient. Buy non-​perishables elsewhere.
Deli: very tasty. Fresh made sandwiches while you wait or choose from their cooler. Wraps, salads, also available.
Soup: 4 homemade varieties to choose from on my visit. Economical and super tasty!
Lots of locally made items including jams, Grocer’s Daughter chocolates, etc.

This review is 3.5
A quick stop through Glen Arbor during a mini road trip through Northern Michigan. Wanted to grab some healthy snacks for the road and thought a grocery store would be best.
Good for quick stop pick up. Grabbed a small bag of Clementine oranges but thought they were SUPER expensive.

I agree with everyone else. Convenient but pricey. But I was surprised their produce was fresh, even their jalapeño peppers. I actually walked there along the beach from the Homestead — about 30 minutes. Pleasantly happy with this place. Their jalapeño and cheddar sausages were great.

Very small and limited selection, however the store is clean, and fresh. The cinnamon buns made in house were delicious, they also carry jams, pies, and other local produce from vendors in the area which are great. We also purchased a Greek pasta salad that was good, and a roasted chicken that was delicious as well. This supermarket is great to have in the area for people in cottages etc so they do not have to drive 40 minutes to Traverse City for a grocery store.

If you are staying in cabin, apartment, or condo in the area and need to buy perishables that couldn’t make the trip, stop in here for a wide selection and decent pricing. They have a decent wine and beer selection and above all, I recommend their rotisserie chicken — easily feeds 4 adults. Even if you brought nothing with you and you had to stock up for the weekend, Anderson’s is pretty much the only game in town for 1 stop shopping. Friendly staff, neat and clean store. It’s up to IGA standards that I’ve seen around the country.

AIt may seem odd to review a supermarket, but as visitors to this foodie– intensive area it’s nice to have a grocery store around that carries many local foods, wines/​beers/​spirits and artisanal products — everything from local whitefish to microwbrews to preserves to the fabulous Moomer’s ice cream.

I love this place. Perfect grocery store for cooking oriented tourist as I am.
Excellent choice of veggies, fruits and deli meat for a remote location as Glen Lake. Did I mention that they have very tasty pre-​made salads? So don’t bother with potato salad and just focus on your protein (stake is my choice) and spend more time on the water.
One star down because it is on the pricey side. I guess that they need to make that «mullah» in the summer time. Summer summer time…

I really like Anderson’s. It’s what grocery stores used to be before they got supersized. Very well stocked. They have a good selection of wine and spirits.
Tip: Try some of the fish they smoke in the store, as well as some of the other freshly made items like their smoked fish pâté. Well worth it.

This is a great — albeit pricey — local grocery store/​gourmet shop/​lifesaver/​institution. Locally owned with incredibly high quality offerings and a consistently friendly staff, it has been in Glen Arbor forever. Most importantly, the only grocery store in town, so yay for Anderson’s!
Most people bring the basics with them when they head up north at the beginning of the season, but you invariably forget something and/​or have to restock and are too lazy/​rich/​busy/​desperate to take the 45 minute drive into TC to hit one of the big grocery stores. This is where Anderson’s becomes a priceless asset to the community.
Throwing a cocktail party and realize you’re out of vermouth, cocktail onions, or for that matter, decent Gin? Dying for some really great cheese? Too lazy to make your own egg salad? Made a pasta dinner and realized you haven’t got any garlic bread? Need the Sunday NY Times or the Enterprise? Forgot the fresh dill? Looking for lamb chops? Need a trashy magazine for the beach? Anderson’s comes through again and again and again.
Grocery standards (canned soup, jello, frozen pizzas, soda, detergent, cleaning supplies, etc.) along with a very impressive gourmet selection including Boars Head meats, Stonehouse Breads, an extensive and thoughtfully selected wine/​beer selection, and some extremely nice cheeses. Great meat counter/​deli offerings, better than expected produce (produce here has traditionally blown, they appear to be improving this section thank god). Come in to pick up the basics to stock your cottage — come back for your every day necessities and Anderson’s consistently high quality offerings.
I would take ½ of a star off if I could as they have a captive audience and are definitely on the pricey side. That being said, I hit this place on a near daily basis when I’m here and don’t mind spending a bit extra for the convenience, so 5 stars it is!
