Places to buy food

My husband and I will be staying in Glacier National park the last week in August and the first week in September. Although we plan on dining at the hotel, is there somewhere close by that we could pick up supplies for day hiking such as bread, lunch meat and other such things.



Places to buy food


There is a small grocery in St. Mary%26#39;s by the gas station, but they are fairly pricy and have limited selection. Depending on where you are are coming from, (possibly the airport?), we usually stop at the Super 1 at Columbia Falls (I think that is the town). It is on the main road not far from the airport as you head to the park.

Are you staying on the east side or the west side?





There is a small store at West Glacier that has a good selection of groceries, including bread, cheese, lunch meats, etc. as well as some produce.




We are arriving by Amtrak and staying the first night at the Glacier Park Lodge I believe on that is on the East?




If you fly into Kalispell, where is the best place to shop for a week. We will be traveling with our 1-year-old, need to pick up milk, ice and a cooler etc....





Does Many Glacier have refrigarators in the rooms? We have a family room...





Thanks!




Have never stayed in the family room at Many, but the other rooms have no fridge. We always buy a cooler and as stated stop at the Super 1 on the way to the park. It is about 15 minutes or so from the airport. As for the other post, I%26#39;m not familiar with stores in East Glacier but there are small motels and restaurants there and I would think a small grocery would be there also. Maybe someone more familiar with that town can help.




There is a ';general store'; in East Glacier; they carry a reasonable selection of basic groceries, including some produce. There is a similar selection available in West Glacier also.




I know that there is a shuttle for $30.00 per person going from Glacier Park Lodge to Many Glacier where we will be staying for another 3 nights. Is there a shuttle that takes us from Many Glacier to Lake McDonald Lodge and then another that goes to Whitefish.
