Anderson’s Market celebrates its 30th anniversary since Brad Anderson acquired “Steffen’s IGA” from Bill and Jen Heston in 1994. The grocery store will host a party in the parking lot on Sunday, May 19, from 2-5 pm and provide local beer from Short’s, homemade pulled pork sandwiches and bratwursts, Moomer’s Ice Cream, and live music, while supplies last. Brad Anderson reflected on 30 years of serving Glen Arbor, including challenges such as re-opening during the August 2015 megastorm, being an essential business during the COVID-19 lockdown, and the struggle to find workers.

Meet Jorene Williams, Dejie-ann Smith, and Joycelyn Mclean, college students from Jamaica who are summering near the Sleeping Bear Dunes while they work the checkout registers at Anderson’s Market and Compass Rose Bakery.
