I loved visiting this store in Freeport! There are 5 different Abacus locations and this one is…read moreprobably my favorite. It's a wonderful store to find unique gifts and home decor at a reasonable price. The employees at this location are very kind and helpful. They knew a lot about the items in the store and anything they were unsure of they found more information for me. The building itself is beautifully designed and a staple of Freeport history. My only concern was that my older mother had a difficult time getting up the large concrete stairs because there's no handicap-friendly entrance. However, our experience inside Abacus was wonderful. We will be back closer to Christmas time to stock up for Christmas!

No one answers the phone so there is no way to confirm if they are in fact open on any day at all. Such a disappointment. We had made a day of this with my aging parents, took the train into Freeport. After reading reviews I see they have had this issue going on over 2 years. What a joke. I have always been a loyal D&B buyer but this has me second guessing myself. Very bad service, the phone says our call is important but try again later. Horrible service and clearly D & B doesn't care.

Located in the main outlet shopping area, this store sells locally-produced merchandise and crafts from 20-25 vendors. You'll find everything from t-shirts to books to syrup to soap, as well as my personal favorite, Christmas ornaments. Every vacation , I buy a Christmas ornament, and with so many booths in this market, I found several to choose from and left with a cute lobster ornament. The crafts here are unique and much better than what you'll find in the airport or some of the stores in nearby Portland. I'm glad we found it on our first day and I got my shopping knocked out early in our trip!

It's sort of like Etsy, but in a brick and mortar form. The Freeport Market is exactly the same concept where locals can rent space and display their items for sale. I forgot to mention all the items are "Maine Made" which I believe has to be requirement. I didn't speak with any staff so I can't speak to the customer service. You don't see them walking around much, but standing near the counter. The value for the items will vary as the renter sets the price for their items. Some look for a premium price on their items, other's look for a reasonable price understanding what the market says for those types of items. If you are looking for Maine made items and willing to pay a premium price on them, this store is for you, but you can typically get the items cheaper through their website or at a local craft fair.

**A Miami, FL, Client who is Proud to Call the Freeport, ME, Allen Edmonds Outlet his "Local"…read moreStore.** Despite living in Miami, FL, Allen Edmonds of Freeport, ME, will always be my "local" store--thanks to my experience with the unparalleled Laney Johnson. I wish all of my interactions were as seamless, professional, and enjoyable, as transacting business with Laney. Perhaps a bit of background will better illustrate my enthusiasm. I have always admired AE's timeless quality, comfort, and aesthetic, and could not pass up on the deals available in AE's recent tent sale. But, this being my first purchase of AE shoes, I had very little, if any, knowledge of my foot's fit relative to a 5 last. A master shoe fitting would have been ideal, but, with the end of not disparaging, while giving praise to another, my circumstances effectively required me to take a leap of faith regarding the last's fit on my foot and principally rely upon objective criteria from a Brannock device. I enthusiastically dialed AE's Freeport Outlet. Laney answered the phone after two rings and processed my entire order within 6 minutes--impressive! I ordered a pair of 8D Walnut Strands and Black Park Avenues, and two AE aromatic cedar shoetrees. The shoes arrived in five business days from Port Washington, and the entire experience was perfect--well, except for my foot not fitting the 5 last in 8D. Feeling a bit defeated, but optimistic, I called Laney. As always, she was professional and sympathetic about my situation. She sent me a return label, took my order for two pairs of 7.5Ds, and, upon the returned shoes' arrival in Freeport, processed my exchange. Presumably the 7.5Ds would fit, right? Fast-forward three weeks later, after three orders placed, three exchanges processed, three pairs that did not fit my oddly shaped foot, and consistently exceptional service from Laney, I finally found a perfect fit--7EE. AE sartorial veterans and neophytes alike need to take further notice of Laney Johnson, and the world-class experience she delivers to her clients daily. Despite crafting some of the best shoes available on the market, what will make me an AE customer for life is my experience with Laney. Thank you, Laney!

The Mangy Moose and I go way back - during my childhood trips to Maine we would frequently stop in…read moreFreeport for the day and visit this store during our shopping adventures. Since we were coming back down south from Wiscasset, we thought it would be a good idea to stop in Freeport and check out some of the shops. Mangy Moose was near the top of our list, so off we went. In essence, Mangy Moose is a gift shop that sells lots of souvenirs and other tchotchkes. You may be thinking that it's like every other souvenir shop in a touristy part of Maine - and I may agree with you to an extent. However, I like the fact that Mangy Moose is large and its selection is beyond what you would find elsewhere; I would argue that you would need to go to several stores to find what MM has under one roof. Clothing, jewelry, signs, books, housewares, holiday stuff, toys - it's all here. Also, the store is arranged nicely with lots of space to roam. Overall, if you're in Freeport I would definitely recommend stopping at Mangy Moose - it's a nice break from the typical outlets you find in the area and you may just leave with a little something.
