About Us

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 was 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 they were two separate businesses, the public entrance to Guns Galore is through the General Store front door.

In December of 2025, both Osakis General Store and Guns Galore were sold to Tab and Angie Hendricks of Resorters Marine & Outdoors in Osakis. They dropped the Osakis General Store name (which name it was given at the time it opened as a hardware store), and now the store goes by Resorters Marine & Guns Galore.

The future plan for these two businesses is to be housed in one large facility just West of Osakis close to the current location of Resorts Marine on Hwy 82. For now, Resorters Marine & Guns Galore, Inc will remain in their current locations until construction of the new facility is completed, possibly in 2027. Its going to be the largest sporting goods facility in this part of the region.
