    I go buy there every time we travel to our camp in the town of Parishville. We’ll stop in. Maybe for that soft serve icecream.

    Wait. Cranberry Lake is surrounded by forest preserve. It’s supposed to be a magnet for economic activity… why so much trouble for just one store?

      The year round population is under 200. When the mills all closed, there has been little work available to keep families here in the hamlet.

    Back in the 1970’s & 1980’s spent many of summers in Cranberry Lake/Wanakena area and it was full of life and since it seems everything has left. I hope this business brings life to the area. Thanks for article.

    Tom has done a great job describing the sorry state our town is in.
    Thank you Erica and PJ for taking on this challenge. The store looks great with good meats and veggies. The red sweatshirts sold out in no time! And, it’s great to have a water taxi again!
