We have some exciting news….. we are now carrying a collection of our favorite local coffee roasters… Ground Control! ☕️

We pride ourselves on offering a truly LOCAL shopping experience — where we can tell you who made every single thing in our shop, and where they’re from in Michigan, and we couldn’t be more excited to help you get your daily caffeine fix from beans roasted right down the road.

Plus what could go better with these amazing mugs by Spare Pots, or these adorable coffee themed prints by Jodi Lynn's Emporium of Doodles ?!

Stop in and grab a bag! ❤️

We’ve reached the last stop on our gratitude tour…and this one is the part of the story that made all our dreams become reality— our physical location!!! 📍

We want to give a HUGE thank you to our broker, Dan Blugerman, CCIM, of P.A. Commercial, our architect Peter Tzilos of Architects, and our landlord John, who made finding the perfect space feel absolutely kismet! ✨

When we first walked into the location that would become The Mercantile, we just knew. Through the twists and turns and other spaces that just didn’t “work out,” we felt like we might be fighting an uphill battle — but as soon as we walked through those doors, we KNEW we’d landed right where we were meant to be. ❤️

We truly believe the right people and places came into focus at the exact right time for The Mercantile to happen. And we can’t wait to show you all the magic we have in store this fall!

Is there anything better than a sweet juicy watermelon during these hot August days? 🍉

Everything in The Mercantile is handmade, by local artisans, and created in small batches. We have been absolutely loving what they’ve been making this season! ❤️

While we are savoring this last stretch of summer, we are so excited to show you what we have in store for fall! 🍁
