This is the kind of small-town market locals rely on without thinking twice. E&S may be a small store, but it punches well above its weight—especially when it comes to the meat counter. Everything feels friendly, familiar, and genuinely helpful, the way a true neighborhood market should.

The real draw is the in-house meat market, known for fresh-ground burgers and an impressive lineup of 13 different brats and homemade sausages, all made right here. If you’re grilling for a crowd or stocking up for the weekend, this is where people in the know stop first.

E&S also makes a point of selling local goods whenever possible, and there’s a refreshing flexibility to the place—if you don’t see what you’re looking for, just ask. They’re always open to trying something new, which is part of why the store continues to feel alive and community-driven.

A practical stop, a friendly conversation, and a reliable meat counter all rolled into one—E&S Market is a Pepin staple for a reason.
