    Shaw's General Store is a Stowe institution founded in 1895. Everyone can find something here to take back home. An eclectic mix of souvenirs, gifts, toys, t-shirts, sneakers, hiking boots, winter apparel, Vermont maple syrup products, gadgets. Fun stuff. We often just browse throughout the different aisles and discover new items. Have a great day!

    Really unique, fun all-around 'General Store'! Awesome place, holds the town together and is perfect for window-browsing as it has the best, detailed displays including tools, throws, toys, cans, clothes, sports items and dining things.. It's a one-block massive building worth a visit. Review: 5

    This retro style upscale general store is located in the heart of Stowe's quaint New England village. We were originally going to drive through this town, but decided to stop, specifically for this store as I had spotted the sale rack outdoors! Prices are a little steep, but there are some bargains. I got a really cute Stowe t-shirt on clearance for $10, which isn't TOO bad. They have a really great assortment of anything from onesies to apparel for the whole family. I liked the hat selection too! They do of course sell maple related souvenirs like cookies, syrup and candies. Always a popular souvenir to pick up for yourself or someone back home. Other items for sale included jewelry, decorative pillows, wall decor, mugs, backpacks and more. Nice selection of shoes, but you will pay a pretty penny! A lot of them are perfect for the activities of this area though. They sell Keen hiking boots, sneakers and sandals. I am a huge fan of this brand! There is also a small selection of well made socks, some would be great for skiing. In addition to the sale racks out front, there were more reduced items in the basement.

    Cool gift shop if you're browsing from out of town you can find some really neat local gifts and things here of all shapes and sizes. Take your time, you could spend a day here.

    Shaw's General Store has been serving the Stowe community and tourists alike for over 100 years! Since 1895...jeezle-peete's! If that's not reason enough to pay homage to this store then let me tell you this, Shaw's is much fancier than my hometown general store. Of course they have the tourist faves like maple candy, cheese and syrups but they also have high end clothing, Vermont made art, and as you can tell by the shoe pictures, a wide variety of everything you need to hike New England. I wouldn't call it a "general store" as it's much more of a boutique of sorts. I'm sure it used to be back in the day before they invented 18 different kinds of fleece lined boots. Nonetheless a fun store to venture around in. We got some maple candy for my mom and it was great.

    Cute shop if you're looking for variety. They have the generic t-shirt souvenir options, as well as some more unique items.

    Great store to get shoes and winter gear. Plenty of kids toys and souvenirs if you are looking for some in Stowe.

    Not really a General Store, more of a fancy clothing store with a few touristy souvenirs thrown in!

    100% worth it. Literally- don't pass up this company!…read more We were traveling from Louisiana (where there's no need for snow clothes) to Colorado where we would definitely need weather appropriate clothing. KitLender had it all. I ordered a full kit for myself (a north face jumpsuit, boots, gloves, and goggles) as well as a pair of snow pants. My husband got a snow bib and boots. And my toddler got a full kit (snow bib, jacket, boots, mittens, and goggles). ALL of this for a fraction of the cost to buy. However, the best part was I had to pack NONE of it. It was delivered to my lodge, we used it, repacked it, and it was picked up by FedEx from the lodge to go back to KitLender. I think it was the least stressful part of our family vacation (lol). WILL DEF BE USING AGAIN! THANKS KL!

    Zero stars if that were an option. Absolute failure when it mattered most…read more I ordered ski clothing from Kit Lender for 9 people nearly a full month in advance (28 days) for what was supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime family trip to Big Sky. We did everything right to avoid issues. Kit Lender did everything wrong. When FedEx tracking showed delays, I proactively contacted the company on December 31. I was reassured they were "working on options." That reassurance turned out to be meaningless. Fast forward to January 2, the night before our 8am flight, and suddenly I'm told nothing can be done. It gets worse. When I called customer service, I was actually told that I should drive to Billings, Montana to pick up the shipment myself from a FedEx warehouse. Let that sink in. Their proposed solution was that I abandon my travel plans to fix their logistics failure. I asked a very reasonable question: why not arrange Saturday delivery, since the items were already sitting at the Billings FedEx facility? I was told a manager named Ben would call me back after speaking with FedEx. He never did. Instead, Ben sent a dismissive email claiming FedEx doesn't deliver to business addresses on weekends. I immediately responded clarifying that we were staying in a private home, not a business. No response. I called again asking for Ben. The person who answered hesitated, clearly knew who I was, and said "uhhh... is this Nikki?" before telling me Ben would call me shortly. He never did. I have now called four times and am sent straight to voicemail. No callback. No urgency. No ownership. Here's the part that matters most: This was a bucket-list trip for my mother, who has breast cancer. She asked for her children and their partners to take her skiing in Big Sky. We spent an enormous amount of money on this trip. And thanks to Kit Lender's complete lack of accountability, we are arriving with no ski clothing for anyone and scrambling at the last minute to fix a problem that should never have happened. Yes, they offered a refund. And then they disappeared. Refunds don't fix ruined plans. Refunds don't replace lost time. Refunds don't excuse a total failure of customer care when things go wrong. Every company looks good when everything goes smoothly. Kit Lender showed exactly who they are when things were in distress. The answer was silence, deflection, and indifference. If your trip matters to you, do not trust this company. When it counted, they did not care -- not about our vacation, not about solutions, and certainly not about their customers.
