In 1883, the Pfeiffer Station General Store was built by John Pfeiffer with the intentions of it being a post office and railroad depot for the Chicago and Atlantic Railroad. The railroad relocated their depot to another location.
Although Pfeiffer Station never became a thriving town, the Pfeiffer Station General Store has survived throughout the years by catering to farmers in Dudley and other area townships, the Amish community and people who are simply passing through the area.
Over the past 125 years, the store basics have remained. You can still buy penny candy, as well as scoop your own treats from a variety of candy bins. They also offer groceries, spices, cheeses, bologna, flours, sugars, and other bulk goods. They also have a selection of hand-dipped ice cream, sandwiches, crafts, and Amish baked goods.
The store was purchased by Rebecca Whitaker in 2014 and since then we have added delicious, homemade lunch specials and made- from-scratch baked goods, all of which are prepared fresh daily in the store!
