Great Lakes Tea & Spice opens in new location
Business FeatureGlen Arbor based Great Lakes Tea & Spice (GLTS) has moved four doors west from its original location, which dates back to 2006 — starting with a 10 x 10 seasonal “shed-boutique”. The retail tea, spice, olive oil and balsamic vinegar (as well as many other amazing findings from throughout the world) purveyor is a few steps closer to the Sleeping Bear Dunes and Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail entrance. When asked why the move just 50 yards further down on M-109, co-owner Chris Sack responded, “This end of Glen Arbor’s retail-district is just starting to get as energized as it was prior to the economic crash of 2008. We needed a space to operate under one roof, instead of being spread out with our retail store in Glen Arbor and our warehouse space in Empire; we were lucky to find it!”.
