Beginning in 1920, Chris Ebels began operating Ebels General store in beautiful downtown Falmouth, Michigan. He originally started the business delivering foods and other essentials door to door in a horse drawn wagon through Falmouth. Since the original store, there have been 5 major renovations to make room for more retail space and to start new business ventures.
In 2021, a brand-new Ebels General Store was opened in uptown Reed City, MI and has continued to support that community.
In October of 2023, Ebels announced they were going to start operating a 3rd store. With the retirement of Dave and Kim Foster, who operated Foster’s Market in Evart, a decision was made to purchase the store to be able to continue to offer a grocery store for this local community in Evart.
