A Visit To This Charming Nebraska General Store Will Take You Back In Time

If you grew up in a small Nebraska town, you may remember the general stores that once graced every main street. You could do all of your shopping in one place: groceries, gifts, and even hardware. These shops have all but disappeared, having been replaced by chain grocery stores and big-box stores. But a few of them remain, and this one in Milford is a definite must-visit.

Welcome to Main Street Market!

This old-fashioned general store opened in 2015 after a local family missed the bulk foods shops they'd shopped at in their native Missouri.

This cute little shop carries all of your favorite products that you remember from those old-fashioned general stores of your youth. Bagged candies and bulk baking ingredients...

...Delectable canned goods...

...Fresh baked goodies...

...Spices and seasonings...

...And even toys.

Home decor is another big part of this shop's offerings. It's the ideal place to find holiday gifts, whether you're shopping for food, candles, or handmade trinkets.

Main Street Market even features a deli counter with a hefty selection of meats and cheeses. The next time you host a special event, order ahead for a party platter of meats, cheeses, nuts, crackers, and sweets.

There's a surprisingly large selection here for a small-town store. No matter what you're looking for, the friendly folks at Main Street Market can help you find it.

You can feel good shopping here knowing that you're supporting a truly delightful local business.

You can visit Main Street Market at 102 N Walnut St, Milford, NE 68405. Check out the store's website or Facebook page for more information and upcoming specials.
