Helmer General Store

08/31/2026

Every extra stop costs fuel: so make your Labor Day weekend smarter with one convenient stop at Helmer General Store.

Before you head to the lake, camp, or the TASA trails, fill up the tank and grab what you need in one place: propane, bait, cold drinks, groceries, and a fresh homemade deli sub for just $8.50. Less running around means more time enjoying the UP; and more miles from every gallon.

Locals know us as Connie’s or Taylor Market, and since 1910, Helmer has been the friendly stop between the lakes for travelers and neighbors alike.

Stop in before your Labor Day adventure, September 5–7, and get fueled up for the weekend without burning extra fuel around town!

*Sigh of relief* Anyone else feeling like they need a weekend to recover from the weekend? 😅

The July 4th rush was a blast, and we loved seeing everyone, but man, that Monday morning alarm came quick! If you’re moving a little slower today, we’ve got just the thing to help you power through.

Today’s recovery fuel: Our staff-favorite deli subs. Fresh bread, premium meats, and made exactly how you like it. Grab a combo with chips and a cold drink, and suddenly this Monday doesn’t feel so tough.

We want to know: what’s your ultimate "Monday recovery" order? Are you a classic turkey and swiss fan, or do you go all out with the Italian? Let us know in the comments! 🥪👇

Ever wonder why you might hear a neighbor call us "Connie’s" or "Taylor Market" when the sign clearly says Helmer General Store?

It’s a story 116 years in the making. Over the decades, our storefront has worn a few different names, but it’s always had the same heart. Whether you’re a local who’s been coming here since the Taylor family days or a traveler who knows us as the perfect pit stop for fresh deli sandwiches on the way to Tahquamenon Falls, we’re proud to be your community staple.

We’ve seen generations of families grow up right here in the Upper Peninsula. While the names on the building might change, our commitment to being your friendly one-stop shop for fuel, groceries, and a warm smile never will. We’re more than just a store; we’re a piece of local history.

Next time you pull up to the pumps or grab a cold drink, let us know: what name do you use for us?
