Pride and Country Village
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pride and Country Village is Michigan's largest village of country stores owned and operated by Tom and Barb Schian. Located now at 5965 East Holland Road in Saginaw, Michigan, P & C had it's humble origins in the basement of Tom and Barb Schian's home in 1989. They opened up their home to the public for two years until they outgrew their basement and decided it was time to move their operation to a permanent location. In 1991 they purchased a farm house that was two miles from their house which is still the current location of P & C Village.
After a decade P & C Village has expanded beyond anything that Tom and Barb Schian imagined. They both do not have a college education but that has not stopped them from using their hard work ethic and common sense to create an atmosphere that customers keep coming back to enjoy. P & C Village has over 40,000 square feet of shopping pleasure that will certainly entertain any customer.
P & C has many unique stores. The 1904 Farmhouse includes furniture and home decor for any home. Some of the furniture is made by the workers at the P & C Woodshop. When customers enter The Barn, they immediately feel like they have gone back in time. In the first level of The Barn, The Deli offers homemade soups and sandwiches for the customers enjoyment and satisfication and The Design Center provides for the customers lighting and wallpaper needs. The Outhouse is on the second level of the Barn and it offers fashionable clothing and jewelry at great prices. The 1899 Schoolhouse is the candle shop and a customer has Yankee Candles, Swan Creek Candle Company, and Carmen Candles to choose from in order to create a warm atmosphere in their home. The Depot includes various collectibles and cards. The Mill is the seasonable building which changes from spring to fall to winter during the year. The Garden Center has items to care for a garden and outdoor items are located here along a stone path which takes a customer to seven little buildings that the local farmers donated. The Red Caboose is the ice cream shop that offers soft serve ice cream and eighteen varieties of hand dipped ice cream flavors.
P & C is located just miles from Frankenmuth, Michigan and is easy to get to from I-75. Anyone who would like to enjoy a unique shopping experience needs to visit P & C Village and see why P & C has received numerous retailer awards and is Michigan's largest village of country stores.
