Fortino's. The name conjures the smell of fresh-roasted peanuts wafting into the street. Childhood memories of a trip to the candy store with Grandma for a special treat. Of delectable chocolates that melt in your mouth and small-town friendliness that's awfully hard to come by. Of fine wines, beers, and spirits. Of gourmet meats, cheeses, and groceries that remind you quality is alive and well in the world. Fortino's has been a family-owned Grand Haven, Michigan, institution for nearly a century. Many of our customers' parents were customers, as were their parents before them. And for many visitors, Fortino's is a must anytime they're in town. If you ever find yourself in our neck of the woods, stop by and say hello. Chances are you'll still be chatting an hour later...
In the meantime, enjoy our website. Below you will find a brief history of the three generations of Fortinos that have made our store what it is today.
