Some New England travel attractions bring you into the true feeling of New England — such is the case with the Vermont Country Store in Weston, Vt.
The Vermont Country Store indeed has a lot of “New England” going on. It’s located in a quintessential New England small town, has a classic rustic country store vibe, and is a local successful story, growing significantly from its humble beginnings in 1946.
Shopping at the Vermont Country Store is definitely a memorable experience — the store seems to go on forever, belying its modest front exterior, and there are hundreds of hard-to-find, nostalgic items on sale. Of course, the Vermont Country Store has a solid foot in the 21st century, too, with trending clothing, furnishings, foods, hardware and more.
Perhaps what puts the Vermont Country Store over the top as a New England landmark is that you can still feel the strong New England work ethic from its owners and staff — no dopey, disengaged employees texting their lives away and making a concerted effort to ignore the customer here. What a revelation seeing a staff fully committed to customer service and pride of ownership and working a job.
