One of the few surviving five and dime stores, Bachmann's has been an integral part of downtown Central Lake since 1942. The historic building still has its original wood floors and the ornate old vault from when it was a bank. Bachmann's motto is, "If we don't have it, you don't need it!" Name it, you can find it here. Currently owned by the third Bachmann generation, you can tell how much they love their store. Great service, free gift wrapping, and friendly knowledgeable clerks make Bachmann's stand above the rest. Add a great selection of toys, gifts, resort wear, souvenirs, and a legendary penny candy counter--and you have a one-of-a-kind shopping destination!

Our family has lived in the area between Clam Lake, Lake Bellaire, and Torch Lake for six generations. We have a special love of the area, and we want to bring you the flavor of this spectacular spot. Our honey comes from bees that travel to local orchards and farms, creating a flavor that truly represents Northern Michigan. We source our fruit as close to the meadery as possible by working with those same local farmers whose crops were pollinated by the bees. We have a long family history of bottling delicious drinks. Our great-great-grandpa Bailey bottled water from a natural spring on the banks of Clam Lake. This fantastic water was sold throughout the community. His building still stands across from our childhood home, and serves as a daily reminder to do grandpa proud.
