History:

Newaygo Woodstove and Fireplace Shop was started in 1979 when Al VanderWoude recognized an opportunity to sell quality woodstoves using the garden space of Jensens Flower Shop.

Al and Marilyn VanderWoude have been in business in Newaygo, Michigan, since 1976 when they purchased an abandoned gas station in Newaygo and remodeled it into Van's Produce Market.  They sold a lot of produce there while Al continued in his masonry construction business.  Soon the produce market expanded into a garden center.  Marilyn's love of flowers and an opportunity to purchase Jensens Flower Ship turned the VanderWoude's in a new direction.  Al and his construction crew remodeled the building and added a brick front, garden center, and a greenhouse.

Al constructed many masonry fireplaces in his career and it was a natural extension to go into woodstoves.  Jensens Flower Shop and Newaygo Woodstove operated as a unit from the same location for 13 years.  Al tired of spending his holidays delivering flowers so the VanderWoudes sold the Flower Shop part and moved to a new location where they remained for 10 years.  Eventually, the VanderWoudes needed more space.  They purchased a larger location where they are now able to sell and stock a larger selection of stoves and spas.  The also sell gas and pellet stoves, fireplaces, and furnaces as well as all the supplies needed for installing and burning stoves and operating hot tubs.  They have been offering UPS shipping for their customers since 1980.

Newaygo Woodstove & Fireplace shop is a busy place these days.  It is located at 8639 Mason Drive in Newaygo Michigan, 1/2 mile south of the M-82/M-37 Intersection in Newaygo.  They offer cost and value conscious customers, an opportunity to warm their homes with quality stoves from Vermont Castings, Lopi, Avalon, FXP, and Firechief.

Newaygo Woodstove & Fireplace Shop is a family owned and operated business.  Al, Marilyn, son Brian, and daughter Deb, all work at the store.  The VanderWoude family is very proud to have been a part of the growth and expansion of Newaygo.

The VanderWoudes would like to invite everyone to stop in for a few minutes to see their beautiful showroom with over 40 stoves on display.
