She has always told me about how great the store is and how wonderful their products are. From what I can tell from their website, they carry a little bit of everything from seasonal items to household goods and appliances and all types of food items. They carry a large selection of their own brand of specialty foods. In my gift box, I received some of Stonewall Kitchen's Flatbread Crisps, Artichoke Spinach Dip Mix, Roasted Garlic Onion Dip Mix, Sun-Dried Tomato Olive Spread, Holiday Jam, and Maine Maple Champagne Mustard. So far, I have eaten all the Flatbread crisps with some of the Roasted Garlic Onion Dip Mix and with some of the Tomato Olive Spread. They were all delicious. I could have eaten the whole bowl of the Roasted Garlic Onion Dip Mix I prepared. It was so good! I also received a cute dish towel with a map of Maine and 2012 calendar and a great book, "Food Lover's Companion." I am very lucky to have been introduced to the neat things they have at this store. I hope someday to visit Maine soon and venture into an actual company store location for myself. In the meantime, I can order from their website at http://www.stonewallkitchen.com/

Stonewall Kitchen Camden has always been a destination for me everytime I visit Maine in the…read moresummers. I usually stock-up on products, spend several hundred dollars and either take them with me in the car or ship them home to New Jersey AND get complimentary shipping. This trip, I flew and was prepared to shop a big order & have it shipped home. When I inquired of the sales person about shipping charges, (a regular employee) I was told that I would have to pay shipping-regardless of what I spent. When I advised the clerk that I always got free shipping(based on the money I spent in the store) he/she advised me that he's only a cashier and that's the rules. I advised him that I could go on-line, get free shipping and not support this store. As I was leaving, I heard derogatory remarks being mumbled from the associate. As a retail executive, I don't know of any retail store that would turn away a large sale over principal do you?

The folks at this great old store always rise to a challenge as they sometimes put their cumulative knowledge together and demonstrate what seems to have all but vanished in America: small town customer service, where the customer feels important. BTW, I've been a customer of Grovers for over than 50 years.
