Who has a perfectly good job in the Virgin Islands and moves back to Marquette, Michigan to run a tiny store and sell beer to college students?

A guy named Phil Pearce. He owns Phil's 550 Store - on County Road 550 in Marquette. According to the Free Press, Phil is mostly famous for - being Phil. And he IS world famous, thanks to t-shirts with his face on them. I've never been to the store, but it is on the schedule for the next trip up there.
