Gibran - Maine Made Foods & Gifts

Awesome shop and owner!

Our toddler was scared of the fireworks outside and went into the shop. The owner entertained her and danced with her for a full 15 minutes and gave her snacks and she had so much fun.
We also bought some gifts, given that they sell great souvenirs. Will definitely be back.

Wonderful place with lovely items the owner mark is wonderful and is great with our son. they have made a friendship and our son always wants to go straight to see him once we get up that way. Where there on July 8th.

The best blueberry jam ever! We even have it shipped to us.

Absolutely an amazing visit! The owner is incredible and super sweet! Made me feel super welcome, and was so kind to my family and I! I truly recommend going if you want to have a heartwarming visit :)!

We really loved the place and bought some blueberry spread! So excited to try it, but it was confiscated at the check in point at Logan…. So… maybe next time 😫

Something for everyone, just think Moose, nice selection.

Didn't buy anything, which I'm regretting but the owner, Mark is super sweet.

Shop owner was so friendly. Can’t wait to try our blueberry spread.

Warm friendly atmosphere, and the BEST blueberry jam in the world!

Owner is a blast !!

Belle épicerie fine. Ils vendent des produits du Maine tel que des produits de l'érable (épices à l'érable, sirop dans des bouteilles peintes à la main, ...), des confitures, de la sauce et vinaigrette, des objets de décoration. Très joli et pas trop dispendieux.

My husband and I shopped there tonight, for a sticker and maple syrup. I’m not giving a 5-star because a lot of the products were marked up higher than other shops. But the employee himself deserved a 5-star rating because he was SUPER nice (in his 20s, dark hair).

Very rare of me to have negative review. Love area. Spent over $2000 in area shopping and eating over last couple days. Owners and employees of nearby stores have been extremely engaging and friendly. We casually walked in to this store and my son simply picked up a WOOD light house that was sitting on floor by entrance. An employee, or owner not sure, immediately comes rushing over aggressively taking it from him saying “this is a $60 item, supervise him”. We immediately walked out. Clearly this is not a business that will ever get our money or we will ever recommend on any of our social media.

Edited to add in response, we had literally just walked in door. My daughter actually had not even had time to step inside yet. I was staring right at my son. This afternoon we learned from neighboring businesses this is pretty par for the course from this particular owner. As I now see in other reviews as well and his incredibly brash responses. Perhaps an online store with less customer interaction would serve the owners personality better.

The owner of this store is insane. My son gently picked up an item in the store under my supervision and the owner at a level 100 of aggression yelled at he and I not to touch anything. Even though he was way out of line, I calmly explained he did not need to worry, I would happily pay if he broke something to which the owner aggressively screamed for us to get out of the store. No one could believe what they saw and confronted me to let me know they would never enter that store again. A couple out front let me know they were asked to leave for being gay…. Enough said. Don’t waste your time or money supporting this horrible owners business.

While I was visiting this store, the owner yelled extremely inappropriately at another customer who was there with her two small children. It seemed like children are not welcome in this store for fear of them possibly breaking something…if that’s the case, put a sign outside. Don’t yell and make customers in the store uncomfortable.

the owner (mark) mistreats customers and staff, take your business else where.
