Shop Small Mackinac

As soon as you step off the ferry and walk onto Main Street you can feel the hustle and bustle of Mackinac Island. From fudge to souvenirs, there are endless of ways to support local Mackinac Island businesses, here are some spots you want to make sure not to miss — including at least one you might already be familiar with (wink).

 

 

Poppin’s

This little shop opened up on Main Street in 2013 and has been an essential Mackinac stop ever since. Like Little Luxuries, many of the items for sale inside of Poppin’s are designed, created, and shipped from small, independent companies which puts that extra bit of uniqueness in with a majority of their products. In addition to cards and other paper products, this Mackinac Island small business also offers handcrafted gifts and home décor. Pop in and ask Kate, the shop’s owner, about the origin of the name — you’ll be glad you did.

Doud’s Market

There’s nothing like a sunny day on Mackinac Island, where every color pops a little brighter and a breeze keeps the air fresh and your spirits lifted.

Flagship

In 2012, Flagship opened its doors as one of the only garden stores on the island. They’re mainly known for their custom island flags, hence the name, and are the only store on the island that offer the unique product. While you’re there check out another top seller, handcrafted wind chimes from Indiana Amish Country.
