Right Here, Right Now
Sune's doesn't carry every item you might desire.
We can't compete with the big-box stores.
We're not trying to.​
But. We're here. Now.
​
We make your life easier with a selection of basic items.
Plus fun extras to explore that you don't know you need.
Our wonderful Sune's team members will happily answer all your questions & provide excellent small-town Island service.​

Through the Years
We're a multi-generational, family-owned & operated grocery store & drygoods market
that opened in 1935.
Begun by Hanna & Karl Heinonen,
Finnish immigrants, the one-room store was inherited by their only daughter, Hilka, born on Drummond Island, & her husband, Sune Bucht,
a Swedish immigrant.
Sune & Hilka continued to expand the store while adding 8 other businesses to keep up with changing needs.
The next phase added Bucht children: Ann, Carl, Ruth, & Sune Edward. Each worked in many capacities to move the businesses forward.
​
Times change.
Gradually each of the entities was peeled off until the two original stores remained.
Carl's daughter, Kelly Bucht Melvin, & husband, Dale Melvin are the 4th generation to contribute their skills. The 5th generation, Kelly & Dale's son, Zach, is stepping up to carry on Sune's mission to serve Drummond Island
with life's necessities.
