Shaw's General Store — Local services in Stowe

This retro style upscale general store is located in the heart of Stowe's quaint New England village.

We were originally going to drive through this town, but decided to stop, specifically for this store as I had spotted the sale rack outdoors!

Prices are a little steep, but there are some bargains. I got a really cute Stowe t-shirt on clearance for $10, which isn't TOO bad. They have a really great assortment of anything from onesies to apparel for the whole family. I liked the hat selection too!

They do of course sell maple related souvenirs like cookies, syrup and candies. Always a popular souvenir to pick up for yourself or someone back home.

Other items for sale included jewelry, decorative pillows, wall decor, mugs, backpacks and more.

Nice selection of shoes, but you will pay a pretty penny! A lot of them are perfect for the activities of this area though. They sell Keen hiking boots, sneakers and sandals. I am a huge fan of this brand! There is also a small selection of well made socks, some would be great for skiing.

In addition to the sale racks out front, there were more reduced items in...

Last year we left the store without really having a chance to look as an employee followed us and our children around like we were about to steal something, never asking if they could help us, just staring. This year one of the employees held the door for us as she was entering then told us to hurry it up please because the air was on....Less than a minute into the store we already had a different employee eagle eyeing us, telling us we shouldn't be touching things, especially our kids...I understand things can get broken but we were right there supervising our children...I then asked the employee if we should leave, he replied simply "If you would like, be my guest to." So, needless to say, after many years of patronage, we will not be back, but apparently they do not need ours anyway. But, on another note, if they do not want children in their store then they should not carry items geared toward children, and should post a sign stating no children, adult...

Shaw’s General Store is the perfect blend of nostalgia and practicality. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted with the warm atmosphere of an old-fashioned general store combined with a modern twist. Their selection of outdoor gear and clothing is top-notch, and I was thrilled to find brands like Pendleton and Patagonia alongside unique Vermont souvenirs. I also loved their collection of rustic home goods and gifts—it’s the kind of place where you can find something for everyone. The staff were friendly, offering recommendations and sharing the store’s rich history. I left with a cozy fleece jacket and some adorable maple syrup-themed gifts for my family. This store is a treasure in downtown Stowe and a must-visit for...
