Very large gift shop with everything you could possibly want in a souvenir: shirts, hats, maple…read moresyrup, ornaments, stickers, decals, magnets, toys, candles, necklaces, candy, snacks, and much much more! The prices vary from reasonable to get-outta-here! The cashier looked at me with eyes bulged like she's never seen a brown person in the flesh. I guess it's quite possible!

We stopped in after a long hike, looking for flip flops and souvenirs on our way to The Alchemist…read more While wandering upstairs (following a sign for "tee shirts & sweatshirts"), we were abruptly yelled at by an older man with white hair and glasses, accusing us of ignoring an "employees only" sign and, oddly, implying we might be stealing. A simple, polite redirection that the upstairs wasn't open to customers would have sufficed. Instead, the tone was sharp, public, and unnecessarily rude. We apologized and explained we hadn't seen the sign, but he reacted as though we were being dishonest, then proceeded to complain about us to another employee while we were still within earshot--all very awkward and unprofessional. I would strongly encourage the owners to reconsider how customers are approached, as it reflects poorly on an otherwise generic but pleasant shop. Perhaps looking like you've just enjoyed Vermont's outdoors isn't quite the right aesthetic to be treated kindly here. Thankfully, the hike--and The Alchemist--more than made up for it. That said, I wouldn't return to this store to purchase an Advil.

This is a good store for beginner/novice runners to find a shoe that will work for you. They are…read morefriendly, helpful, and knowledgable. Experienced runners may feel a bit put-off by the "expert" advice that comes without solicitation. I get the sense that the staff are pressured to "know it all" about running, even if they have less experience then the client. The location is convenient, plenty of parking, and they have a decent selection of clothing and accessories.

For 10-12 years we have purchased all of our running shoes and gear. Before marathons, triathlons…read morewe would head right over and get our shoes. Our 15-year-old has been getting her shoes there for the past four years when she was able to get adult size shoes. Purchased shoes for our daughter a week ago. Our daughter suffers from two forms of arthritis. One is specifically in her knees, and her shoes are crucial. Went in there the first guy we had to deal with was very inattentive yawning not asking any kind of question. Kind of a bump on the Lodge kind of guy. I tried to explain she has two forms of arthritis. He said that's not a big deal no concern. I stated it most definitely is a huge concern and it is a big deal. Look through a bunch of clothing and I had decided we were not going to be buying sneakers that day. We're gonna wait until somebody else with more knowledge would be there and help us. I did poke my head in the back room saw two ladies sitting back there one lady who is black haired glasses on the heavier side, only describing her just so you know to avoid her... snapped at me and stated he's very knowledgeable and went about our business. Put the clothing up on the counter and another man little older came over and said did you need some help and I stated that I did because the first guy was not very helpful at all and he redid all of the evaluation of her legs, her feet to the way she walked, and so on. I explained once again she had the arthritis issues and he said we can definitely put her in the right kind of shoe. We chatted and he said she most definitely needed to be in a neutral shoe. She walked around in it, and it felt comfortable, and we purchased them and a bunch of other clothing. She started running and field hockey with these shoes on, and every day would come home complaining that our cabs were aching. Her legs were hurting. They felt like she was running with blocks on her feet. I googled the type of shoe he put her in and sure enough. It was a stability shoe. She most definitely cannot wear stability. She needed a neutral. I called the store, asking to speak to the store manager or the store owner. The person on the other end stated he was the owner. I said oh good and I explained the whole situation and he said yeah that was me. I helped you I remember you. I said will you put her in a stability issue not the neutral that you said she most definitely needed. He stated oops. I said oops that's not an option, I said you have created some more leg issues that she truly did not need. He said I said oops are you bringing them back or what? I said wow OK, yes I'm bringing them back. He said how long before you'll be here? I said I'll be there shortly. I walk into the store he spotted me, turned around, went and hid in the back room !!!! A very sweet lady short haired brown haired lady with glasses came over and said are you returning these? I said yes I am! she said is everything OK? My response was no everything is not OK. Explain the whole story to her and she said well if you would like to bring her back in I would love to work with you. I said I had you in the beginning. Everything probably would've been different, however, the way that the owner responded and treated me I will never give this man another dime of my money!!! Buyer beware avoid the store ! The lady stated you have a long, huge history of purchasing with us. I said yes we have spent a ton of money here only to be treated like this so I will never be back.!!!
