Charlie John's is the only one I've found...anywhere, I think. It's one-stop shopping for everything you need, and almost everything you want. (Nobody's perfect, and their yogurt selection could have more whole milk options for my kid.) As an added bonus, they've also got a beer cave. This walk-in cooler may not have all the obscure IPAs you're looking for (and it actually might, I'm not into IPA so I wasn't looking for it) but it does have all the lawnmower beers I can drink, as well as the spiked seltzers the kids are into these days. Seriously though, the staff is super nice, and didn't blink when I bought literally two carts full of groceries (we were really running low after we hid for two weeks upon relocating up here so we wouldn't accidentally infect anyone). I'm a fan, and we'll be back on a regular basis.

From wind chimes, electronics & lightbulbs, to furniture, knick-knacks, candy, and cookware, this shop has it all. But now, it's near and dear to my heart, not just for the rustic decor and furniture that have graced our family camp's interior for years... But because of the books... Old Forge Hardware's vast bookstore is hands down the largest and broadest in genre scope for 100 miles, stocked to the stacks with ADK history, Art, how-to books, true crime, kids' books, adult fantasy & my favorite: HORROR.

I came here with my mom on my first visit 20 minutes before closing time. Since we knew our time here was limited, we asked for help for very specific areas of the store, and we were each guided to the sections we wanted. Besides hardcover books, there are several sections with softcover books including (but not limited to) mysteries and current fiction. There are also chairs in various locations (at least upstairs). Some sections also have better magazines (for example, the cookbook section has a selection of "Gourmet" magazines). This is a great place for a bibliophile to get lost for a few hours. I intend to do just that next time I'm here.
