Shopping
Vermont: A Shopper's Paradise
No matter where you vacation, you can find shopping. But when you shop in Vermont, it’s a whole different world. Why? Because many times, you buy right from the person that made it! Handcrafted, hand built, handmade – it’s a part of Vermont’s DNA. The artisan culture abounds here – from the small country towns to the bigger cities, from roadside stands to factory stores. Shopping here is an experience. Vermont has a number of unique stores in every region of the state, no doubt about it. No matter where you go, you’ll have plenty to choose from.
Plus, there are many manufacturers that sell directly to the public – that’s why there are so many great factory outlets. Places like the Vermont Teddy Bear Factory, Banana Republic and Orvis are some of the most exciting to visit. Whether you go to a city mall, explore the small town downtown shopping scene, or visit a studio in an artist’s barn, we have it all. Vermont shops, stores and galleries are always fun to browse through.
