We've been coming here for years- my oldest (now 24) started reading the Michigan Chiller books when she was very young and since her Grandpa lived only a mile away from the store - we have come here pretty much every time we come to Indian River over the years. All 5 of our kids love the Chillers series, and I love the adult books (written as Christopher Knight). We have all the adult books, the teen books, and both the Michigan and American Chiller series (still collecting the rest of the American Chillers books, as he is still releasing new ones). Found out today he started a new series "Nightmare Nation" - so I got the first book of that. "Jonathan" and his wife are almost always here- we always enjoy talking with them- they're very personable and funny. He signed the books I purchased today for me as well- he always does if he's here. I always read the kids books as well- written for kids or not- they are always interesting and a fun quick read for me. I wanted to also say that his adult books are as good as Stephen King's (I think even better honestly because King has a tendency to make some "underlying evil force" be the cause of every bad thing in his books- Christopher "Knight" has very unique stories that are absolutely nightmare inducing.) I'm still hoping a new one will come out one of these days ;) Stop in and visit- you won't regret it. And in the summer you are very likely to meet the author and his wife and at least one of their dogs.

We found this to be the friendliest shop in town. They also had the best selection. Additionally they offer shipping to all parts of the United States. My wife was able to send off a five pack to her mother and friends down in Florida. Good service. Good selection. Shipping options available. We recommend Joanns.

If you want clothing that is quality-made, THIS IS the place to stop. I have yet to find another clothing store in Mackinac City that has the aviance and good quality clothing as Harbor Wear does. As another poster said....this store is in a class of its own. I totally agree. I normally don’t buy sweatshirts for myself because I am an older overweight woman. But I ended up buying one because it was actually flattering and reasonably priced. For the teens that like the “Life is Good” T-shirt’s, this store has a wide variety of designs. My daughter had a hard time choosing which one to choose. Prices on the Life Is Good T-shirts were the same as anywhere else you would buy that brand. They also had Life is Good mugs, hats, and other stuff. We are in Mackinac City often so we know the shops pretty well and this one by far tops most of the shops.
4. Murdick's Fudge
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 50 reviews
Aaron Murdick's Fudge is located on Central Avenue across from Subway in Mackinaw City. WE have a blue and white striped awning. We are not affiliated with any other Murdick Fudge store. All Murdick Fudge stores are independently owned. We cannot vouch for other "Murdick" stores including those located: on Mackinac Island, Petoskey, St. Ignace, or in the Crossings Mall in Mackinaw City.

We're not fudge connoisseurs enough to judge what may be the best fudge (of the numerous area options), so we'll take the word of those more knowledgeable. What we do find especially interesting, is the history of this shop and its owners (and their lineage). The 8-11-19 TA review being our reference, we stopped in to checkout the shop, and see the home of fifth generation fudge making. The staff were friendly and informative. The shop has a tempting selection of options from which to choose. One can come for the history, and leave with a treat.

I didn’t try their fudge, but I had several things with their homemade caramel and they were fabulous!

Who doesn't love Candy. When I stay in Mackinac City it is always at the Hamilton Inn Select and that's a short walk to Alice's Kandy and Korn. Alice's homemade caramel is the best, whether on their caramel corn or one of their caramel apples. Their fudge is the best in the area, creamy like my grandmother use to make, not grainy with granular suger. I recommend the peanut butter fudge and the pecan logs.

Reviewed By Stollings6 - Bryan, United States
So impressed with the low-key, friendly, and knowledgeable approach of these proprietors! I was greeted in a no-pressure manner twice- just checking on whether I had questions which was appreciated since there was so much variety in the unique items they stocked. But, most of all was when I wanted my husband’s input on a gift for our children and I needed to call him in. I realized it might be getting close to closing time, so I inquired. Her response, “oh 8-ish”. It was exactly 8 o’clock. She was in absolutely no rush and expressed how important it was to meet the needs of the customer! I’m glad we saved most of our shopping $$ for them!
