Stani's

Back in the time of the independent neighborhood grocer, when Menasha was awash with small grocers all over town, Stani's held court on Appleton and Fifth Street.  In time, in its ads, Stani's labeled itself as "Menasha's friendliest food store."  I'm sure many Menasha residents would agree.

  2. I lived a few houses down on Fifth Street and grew up shopping there. My parents had a charge account there. I remember my Mom paying it up every payday. She would send me there daily to purchase food for dinner every day. I still remember that they had the best breaded haddock perfectly sized for a bun. It was only available during Lent though.
