Our Story
Welcome to Nates Bait & Grocery
Nates Bait & Grocery began with a simple goal: to create a place where people could pick up what they need, share a friendly word, and feel right at home. Nate grew up with a love for fishing, good food, and honest work. He saw the need for a store that brought all those things together for the folks in his community.
What started as a small shop has become a trusted local spot for bait, groceries, licenses, and everyday essentials. Over the years, it’s stayed true to its roots—serving people with kindness, fair prices, and a smile. Every customer who walks through the door is more than a sale; they’re a neighbor, a friend, and part of what makes this place special.
