Wonderful shop! I always enjoy checking out Kristy's…read moreKloset, I usually end up finding something and if not the owner is always a delight and is very patient with my son when we go in there. I found a great Duluth Jacket in great used condition, Jeans for my daughter. I love looking around and seeing what gems I can find. I love the set up of the new location too!

3rd time shoulda been "The Charm". It was not. Went to the old location once. Terrible musty…read moresmell. My asthma went into overdrive. New location is in the same strip mall as my PT. First time I went, apparently her A/C was out. She frantically informed me of what the temp was in the store and that she needed to get home. OK. I get it. Visit #2. No greeting. OK, the owner was busy at the counter with a customer. I cruise the premises. Customer leaves, returns with husband. It was pretty classic so I commented on it. No response. They have some nice things, mostly reasonably priced. 3rd time. I'm def looking for something specific. Figured I'd ask when I got in. Well,, no greeting again. This time she was totally engaged with another woman at the register...the entire 15 min I was in the store. I scoped out the entire perimeter again, was going to get in a question or two, but these ladies were talking about school and their kidz... I'm a #GrievingMom and a retired SpEd teacher, so OK, AGAIN. As I approached the exit, I hear, "Did you need help looking for anything?" My response, "A little late to ask"., and I walked out. I am a SuperThrifter. I've been collecting vintage clothes for over 50 years. I love small consignment shops because they usually have some of the local charm and people who love what they do. Not so, here. Very disappointed

The owner here is charming and adorable, he's great fun to chat with and will regale you with…read morewonderful anecdotes about Michigan history and his family's part in various aspects of it! :) Shop is quaint and cozy - not huge. He has one room dedicated to hardware and small odd parts, has a lot of porcelain/glassware, and a large number of antique doors. Also has a variety of other things. What's really fabulous is when he gets in some of the really rare, museum-quality pieces he gets that I have no idea where he gets so many of from time to time! At one point he had a magnificent 19th century oil painting portrait of a child AND had the dress the child was wearing in the portrait to sell with it! He had a magnificent collection of antique dolls he sold - 2 of which were featured on the Antique Road Show when they came to Cobo Hall in Detroit - one of the dolls was valued at $25,000-30,000. Another time he had a couple of great 19th century samplers I'd likely have bought, but he'd already sold them to a local doctor. Worth stopping if just to chat with the owner and then head across the street to this great Chinese restaurant he recommended to us that we went back to because the food was so good.

They had tons of other touristy items that you could purchase for souvenirs Or gifts, including michigan history books. They have a large selection of puzzles as well as Melissa and Doug items, I was able to get a few items for my daughter for when she gets older at a great price. I also was able to find a bag of loose Formosa oolong tea which I had been looking for for a long time and can generally only find in teabags. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We did not purchase any candy but we did check out the selection and they had a nice selection with good variety. This is definitely a stop for every Lexington vacation.

The Lexington General Store (aka the Candy Store in my circle) is a MUST-DO in the Lexington area…read more The kids think it is the greatest thing ever to be able to pick a whole bagful of candy, piece by piece - I think it's great to see how far $1 can go to make the kids so happy! When we REALLY feel like splurging, one of our favorites in the old school toys section is the potato gun. It's about $3 (make sure to buy a couple - it's way more fun that way), that "bullets" are made from pressing the toy into a potato. HOURS OF ENJOYMENT. I have tried a lot of their seasonings and grilling sauces, and they have yet to disappoint. They also have lots of cute kitchen accessories. Upstairs is a baby gift area, but is especially known for the Christmas ornaments and accessories. Their wide assortment make great hostess gifts at holiday time! It's definitely a "step back in time", but I will ALWAYS make time for the Lexington General Store.

They have a cabin where you can buy refreshments like cocoa and marshmallow snowmen, and they sell other things like ornaments and decorations.
