About

It all started when…

Almost forty years ago, The General Store’s beginnings were as a hardware store which carried a small amount of ammunition and fishing supplies for local fishermen and hunters. As the sporting goods department grew, the need for this type of retail business was obvious. Eventually another hardware store opened across the street and The General Store went whole hog into sporting goods and became what it is today, a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, primarily those who love to hunt and fish. Being only one block off the Lake Osakis Public Access, Osakis General Store is the perfect one-stop shop for fishing tackle, bait, licenses, snacks or anything else you might need before you head out on the water.

Guns Galore, a sister company of The General Store, took over the retail firearm sales in 2018. Although these are two separate businesses, the public entrance to Guns Galore is through the General Store front door.
