This was a good stop to pick up some road trip snacks. Melvin is hanging out behind the building, so it took us a minute to find him.

Renard's has a new building and they moved Melvin to the west side of the building facing the little playground. He is not very visible from the road anymore.

The mouse mascot of Renard's Cheese store is not named Renard, but Melvin. He originally stood next to the highway and pointed toward the parking lot. His new spot, behind the building, pointing at trees, makes him a safer if more ambiguous photo-op.
