Southern Illinois Mercantile Company

Sweetly decorated! Delicious ice cream in generous portions; I loved the half scoop option, so I didn't have to choose from two lucious-sounding and -looking flavors (samples Kendra gave us confirmed they were top-notch and worth the calories, but I couldn't eat two entire scoops!). Talked with Tannyto tell her what a great place they have and said we will be back when we have more time!

Dietary restrictions: Several GF ice cream options of ice cream flavors! I applaud that some indicated GF on the labels.

The Merch is a gem. The ice cream they serve is nothing short of a heavenly delight. The owners, two of the sweetest, kind-hearted Christian ladies, infuse their warm spirit into every aspect of the store. You'll step into a nostalgic haven with vintage sodas and candy that evoke the sweet simplicity of days gone by. Their dedication to showcasing locally made goods is a testament to their love for the community. We are truly blessed to have such a store in our midst!

Nice little stop on our way to Springfield, Illinois. Marion is about the halfway point for us. This is just a few minutes off the highway and a nice little detour to stretch your legs and have an ice cream.

Very cute establishment just off the square in downtown Marion. Lots of little items for sale including flavored bottles sodas and old school candies.The women working were super pleasant and personable. And the ice cream was AMAZING.Will definitely return next time we are in the area

Hands down the best place to get ice cream in Marion. The staff was amazing and the quality was A+. Worth a stop if you are looking for a special treat!

The inside may have changed a bit, but the atmosphere is still the same!!
