Grandpa and Grandma Mantel lived next to Zup's in Ely. Once in awhile I still remember "Kippy" and say a prayer for him. I love my heritage and never forget. thank you for being there.

My parents both grew up in Ely and I have many fond memories of eating Zup's polish! I'm in California now and can't wait to place an order!

I have been going to Zup's my whole life. I have always stopped on the way up to the cabin, but now stop when I'm heading home as well. The meats are better than anything I have found down in St Paul, and I have been looking for a long long time.. Thanks for being my local grocery store.

Over 25 yrs ago my parents owned Sunset Island on Lake Vermillion. We shopped at Zups in Tower. We were wondering if Zups was still in existence and were thrilled to see it is! My family is planning a trip back to Lake Vermillion next summer and we will definately stop in. Mr. Zup was always nice to my father.

Love your store! I've been going to your Silver Bay location since as far back as I can remember. I married a girl who had a cabin in Ely and has the same great memories. No other grocery store smells like Zups. Please, never change. My only request is that you open a store in the cities- I got a great location picked out for you!

Just placed my 2nd order. One of the guys I work with just happens to go fishing up there all the time and just loves the sausages. We talked with a couple other guys into trying some too. Maybe before long, we can get the whole group to try some and place an order. Hoping to get back up there, not this year, but next year for sure.

I was born and raised in Ely and visit Ely with my California family. We all love to stop at Zup's and load up with all the homemade delicious foods. I just received my order from Zup's last Wednesday, a surprise of walleye for my husband and mock chicken legs for my son. Absolutely delicious! Thank you Zups!

My husband was born in Virginia, MN. His mother, Hedrena Lenich, grew up in Ely, and used to work at Zup's around 1940 or 1941. My husband remembers listening to his grandfather in the 50's calling Zup's and placing his order and them delivering it. His family moved to Ky. in the 50's, but went back every summer to visit family. We still continue the family tradition of ordering either sauerkraut or polish. I learned from my mother-in-law, Hedrena, years ago how to make potica and I have done so for about 45 years now. Since my 3 sons have grown and married, now I have to make 2 poticas every year at Christmas. I used to worry that someday when I'm not around anymore my sons would have to go without wonderful potica at Christmas, but I'm happy to see that they can buy it from Zup's unless their wives decide to try to make it.

My family has been traveling to Ely on fishing trips for as long as I can remember, and before we check in to our Cabins, we always stop at ZUP's to stock up on all our food needs for the week. We will be coming back again this year 2012 and can't wait.The Boundary water fires hurt us all even from 650 miles away where we live.

Visited ZUP'S while vacationing at Lake Vermillion this past summer. Just loved the sausage, so thought we'd try and order some. Ordering process was easy. Can't wait till they get here, can taste them already.

This past Thanksgiving holiday the team at ZUP's exceeded our expectations. My aunt lives alone and I asked if ZUP's could put together a Thanksgiving dinner for her, and maybe see if someone could deliver. The dinner with all of the trimmings and some soup was perfect. My aunt loved the meal and ate every bit of it. Pat and team, you made our Thanksgiving holiday. ps. The walnut and apple potica that you sent for Christmas was delicious. See you in the spring Dan

My dad was from Ely and even after many decades, we still continue the family tradition of potica and Polish delites for Christmas breakfast. Thank heaven for mail order! Zup's has the best of both!

We love Zup's!! We frequently drive the 2hr round trip to shop at the Zup's Store, in Silver Bay. I would gladly trade our two local grocery stores for one Zup's!
