On the opposite side of the store, you'll find an impressive selection of local and Vermont-made products, creative work from regional designers, and exclusive items you simply won't see at Walmart. During a recent visit, I noticed two small carts positioned near the front door, highlighting the store's thoughtful attention to customer convenience. The owner and cashiers are warm and welcoming to everyone, whether you're from the area or visiting from out of town. Unfortunately, some reviews misinterpret what Rail City offers. It is not a Walmart--rather, it is a one-of-a-kind Vermont store that proudly supports local products and extends genuine friendliness to all who enter. I highly recommend visiting Rail City for a truly unique and delightful shopping experience

The Vanilla bottle is $21 but if you go to Walmart or Target you will see the same bottle priced at $14. If you are someone looking to save money instead of waste it you would not be shopping here. They used to have a small cart by the front but the manager started to hide the cart in the back since coming in with my son who is brown. I assume they think he will steal just based on the way he looks.

The bottles on the syrup are absolutely beautiful - tall, sleek, square bottles with maple leaves on it. Very classy, not the tacky plastic jugs or maple leaf shaped bottles that others are selling.

I accidentally gave them the wrong address on one of the gifts and it was returned. I figured out the right address and they re-shipped it without additional cost. Super nice and helpful. I liked them so much, I ordered one for me too. It's delicious!!!!

I believe this to be the highest standard for maple creamies in Vermont....for me anyway. Just outstanding.

With him being new to the family it was important that we make him feel included in the Christmas Stocking Treats Tradition. Vermont Nut-Free Chocolates came to our rescue. He thoroughly enjoyed each selection we purchased last year. This year we ordered even more items. We received an email alert from both USPS and Vermont Chocolates that my package had arrived but when we went to the door there wasn't a package. We contacted our neighbors and none of them had it. So we emailed both USPS and Vermont Chocolates about the problem (both closed for the evening). Early the next morning we received an email from Vermont Chocolates informing us that not only had they already created a replacement pkg but they would rush shipping so it would arrive in 3 days. We were extrememly thankful but told them we needed the pkg before we left for out of town (2 days) or we couldn't use it. So Vermont Chocolates switched their shipping service and paid for 2-day rush delivery. All of this at $0 cost to us. Most companies would have just just apologized or at best, refunded me my purchase cost. But I was desperate for the nut free chocolates and Vermont Chocolates didn't disappoint. I cannot thank them enough for going above and beyond to correct an issue that they didn't cause. And keep in mind, this was the busiest week for Christmas shoppers yet they immediately and thoroughly addressed our issue.
