Five Corners for Fishing, Clothing, & Food.
Posted: 07.25.2011 at 10:29 AM

Five Corners is located in the village of Beulah, Michigan. Its name is derived from the five intersecting streets converging at its front door. Interestingly, it is also owned and operated by five family members, who with their unique talents form the foundation and direction of the business.

Local residents still remember the Five Corners building as the site of Beulah Drugs, which operated here for many years. In addition to the pharmacy, it featured an old-time soda fountain and was a favorite destination for residents and visitors alike. Built in the late 1800s, this unique structure is one of the original buildings in town and has played an important part in its evolution and growth.

If you could choose a place to live and work, you'd be hard-pressed to find one better than Beulah. The area offers the very best of what Michigan has to offer, with beautiful forested hills, sparkling lakes, and pristine rivers and streams. Nestled on the shore of Crystal Lake, and just minutes from Lake Michigan and the Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore, Beulah sits amid a spectacular outdoor paradise. It is "up north" at its best.

Our store is inspired by its northern Michigan location and the friendly, independent nature of its residents. When possible, our products boast a local or regional origin. We believe in Michigan, and in the craftsmanship and creativity found here in great abundance.

Cantina

Summer is a great time to be in northern Michigan...

In downtown Beulah, no summer day is complete without a visit to the Five Corners Cantina, a walk-up window serving ice cream and soft drinks. We're just steps away from the park, the beach, and the boat launch.

We feature Moomers Ice Cream (from Good Morning America's #1 Ice Cream Shop in the country), fountain pop, bottled water, and bagged ice. And new for 2011: a soft-serve machine!

We also carry many beach essentials, such as suntan lotion and lip balm, along with aspirin and other necessities. And, for those cool, blustery days, we offer "warm-ups" such as coffee and steaming hot chocolate.

So, whether you're gathering under the shade of the pavilion, laying out on the sands of Crystal Lake, or preparing your boat for a tour of the lake, be sure to stop by for a quick treat!
