French Co Grocer

The French Co. Grocer opened in 2006, revamping the existing grocery store that had been in operation for 25 years. Since 1980 there has been a grocery store in this location! It is named after Lucille French’s grocery store that operated in Marathon from 1900 to 1972. Old locals used to call it French’s. Look north from the bank in the middle of town and you can’t miss it!

It is the local “general” store. A little bit of everything……. staple foods, natural foods, produce, meat and fish, wine and beer, hardware, toys, gift items, artisan made wares, camping stuff, t-shirts, local memorabilia, local characters hanging about, local news and directions! It seems to be the place where all paths cross here in Marathon ( a town of less than 500 people.)
