Mother Lode Mercantile is located in Goldfield Ghost Town just north of Apache Junction, AZ on Hwy 88 - the Historic Apache Trail and at the base of the Superstition Mountains. We offer a melange of western gifts & souvenirs, home-made fudge, and ol’ time candy shoppe, and gourmet chocolates and Truffles. We’re the original creators of the Prickly Pear Fudge (made from the fruit of the Prickly Pear cactus!) and the Gold Nugget fudge (made with REAL 23K gold!) Open 10 - 5 daily, closed only on Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter days.
