About Us

Sunrise Market was opened as an independent small town grocery store in 2017 by Rick
and Teresa Spies when the local grocery store in town closed. As long-time community
members and lovers of this beautiful town, they spent countless hours renovating the old store
as a way to bring an essential need to the community of Au Gres and surrounding areas. Our
store was founded on the principles of putting our community needs first. Unlike corporate
chain stores, Sunrise Market donates/sponsors several different organizations and events. We
are avid supporters of school sports teams, youth programs and so much more.

We also pride ourselves on bringing fresh and local products to our customers. We
carry many lines of Michigan based products. Our in house butchers bring nothing but the best
cuts of meat to our cases. Our produce department offers everything from Michigan grown corn to Traverse City Cherries. Fresh is our goal while keeping prices in line with our competitors.

Richard recently passed away in January of 2024. His daughter Angela, her husband Tyler and
their 4 children are now taking over the family business in hopes of carrying on the values and
dreams that were such a priority to Rick and Teresa.

Please stop in and introduce yourself. We love to know our customers and get input on
any ways we can make our store better suited to customer needs.
