I knew I needed another one for my sister, as it has become somewhat of a tradition for me to get her an ornament from wherever I travel. I stopped in on the way home from Freeport. I thought they closed at 4:00, so I was rushing around trying to find it! The woman behind the counter informed my they were open until 5:30, so I had plenty of time to browse. They have a varied assortment of items including home decor, paintings, jewelry, blankets, cards, and Maine touristy gifts. Nonetheless, I found and purchased the Maine ornament and went on my way. I would recommend stopping in to find that little something you didn't realize you needed.

The duty free store here offers liquor, tobacco, beer, jewelry, watches, Swiss Army knives, fragrances, snacks, candy, Canada souvenirs, collectibles, apparel, and other gifts. The selection here is better than the Duty Free Americas in nearby Houlton ME and the prices are pretty good. They carry cases of Moosehead Canadian Beer and my favorite Canadian Maple Fudge, woo-hoo!! The currency exchange counter offers competitive exchange rates to the banks in the Woodstock area. The Go Food counter offers beverages, cereals, baked goods, sandwiches, and ice cream bars. This store caters to travelers heading west from Canada into the US. If you are a US citizen, you have to declare your purchases here when you reenter the US. Okay so I just entered Canada from the US and NEEDED CANADIAN MONEY!!! What do I do next with my US MONEY??? Instead of trying to find a bank in Woodstock, NB, I got off at the first exit and headed back west on Highway 95 towards the US border so I could visit the Maritime Exchange to exchange my US Dollars to Canadian Dollars and Loonies. However, I exited the travel plaza and had to cross the highway and GO THROUGH CANADIAN CUSTOMS AGAIN. I told the agent I had entered Canada about 45 minutes before and I just visited the westbound store to exchange currency only. I was grilled a bit and let through again. I knew I was not allowed to purchase duty free items from the store since I was not going back to the US. Bummer man, because this store had some really cool sh-t! But I did find the same products in the local stores. I had to pay the 13% HST for my Canadian Maple Fudge candies, but I couldn't resist.

We brought the item to the counter and said we had an accident and broke the item. The owner of the shop said we had to pay for it. I was shocked but said nothing. To me this is poor business practice, especially since there were two people in the store and neither one of them bothered to offer any assistance. We left the store. I returned to the store to complain about the poor treatment and was told, "If you are going to man-handle things and break them then you are going to have to pay for them.". We will never shop at this place again. The owner has complete disregard for his customers. I only give one star because we have to give a rating, otherwise it would be zero stars.
