Welcome to
Michigan Mercantile!

A collection of independent retail concepts in downtown New Buffalo, Michigan, each with its own point of view.

Lakeside Goods focuses on imported European tableware, entertaining pieces, and distinctive home objects; Lake Feste is a women’s boutique centered on elevated wardrobe, jewelry, and accessories; Eastern Standard Time offers graphic-driven apparel and casual essentials; and Book~Shore is dedicated to books across art, design, travel, and visual culture.

Collections evolve throughout the year, shaped by season, discovery, and sourcing rather than a fixed assortment.

At 108 N Whittaker, rotating concepts and pop-ups bring something different to the mix throughout the year. Most recently, Beach celebrated life along the shoreline with striped umbrellas, unique beach bags, tailored coolers, towels, and a nod to vintage coastal style.

In the courtyard, the seasonal farmstand welcomes Mick Klüg Farms, a multi-generational family farm from St. Joseph, Michigan, with locally grown produce during the warmer months.

And of course, Starbucks offers familiar favorites daily from 7am–7pm EST.

Find us on the north end of Whittaker Street in New Buffalo.
