LIVELOCAL, BUYLOCAL I love that this store is all about supporting local artists and craftsmen. everything is locally produced and this is always great for the community. However, I have found that this is a common theme with many of the stores on the square. This store is very eclectic as it has health foods, clothing items, dog supplies, home décor items and gifts. They don’t just carry packaged foods, they have refrigerated items as well. I love the fresh peanut dispenser that allows you to have fresh made peanut butter. This was how I purchased my natural peanut butter back in the day. Boy, this takes me back! I love to purchase souvenir items that are not too obvious but locally produced. This is a great store for purchasing such items. The coolest part of this space is the upstairs art gallery called the Artist’s Attic. Don’t forget to check it out as it is truly the cherry on top!

I love buying local and handmade gifts and I love to help the local economy. This store is the perfect place for that because they bring thousands of local companies into one store. The cons: I have resisted on several occasions throughout the year and every time I visited their employees are on their phones, do not greet me, or ask me if I need help, one time I needed help getting something down and the girl wouldn’t look up long enough for me to ask for help then when I finally asked for help she seemed very upset I interuppted her. I normally don’t make a big deal out of customer service because you never know the situation but when it is someone on their phone at and when it is several occasions not just one it begins to reflect on the management. Another con is the sweets case where they sell their fudge is always dirty and doesn’t look fresh, then one day I found out they don’t even make it there!!! What a rip off and so gross! Across the square there is a candy shop that makes all of their fudge right in house and you can see them make it if you catch them on a baking day! Their fudge tastes much better too and their staff is always tentative . All in all It is a good store with great items, just not fudge or customer service.

If you’re looking for hard-to-find, unique items from local companies then the local exchange is the place to go. A great variety of cool local favorites. Make sure you check out the art gallery located upstairs where you can fine local artists in the area displaying their beauty Also you do wine tastings and art exhibits on a regular basis Make sure you pick up moon pie

I’ve only been in once so far and have not yet made a purchase, but I’m so excited for this find that I want to go ahead and tell you about it! SOMANYAWESOMELOCALPRODUCTS! It is refreshing. I an shocked that more people have not reviewed and professed their love. .and what’s not to love about this? High Road ice cram, Talenti Gelato, Red Hare root beer from the tap(!!), French Silver(sassy, fun dish towels,) Alta Cucina, King of Pops, Patak, local honey, soaps, crafts, license plate art, local team stuff, etc. They also help you put together your«Perfect Picnic» for concerts on the square which you can even order online ahead of time and have an artists attic(yes, check the second floor!) All in all it seems you can feel good about shopping here for local foods, art, antiques, gifts and more. I’m in love — with a biz — and I don’t care who knows it!!!

Shop small, shop local. I love buying local and handmade goodies. Just love it. I think it’s the extreme feeling of satisfaction in knowing that I have something few other people have and I’m supporting a local crafty person. I know of a few websites that feature local goods, but I love the fact that I can wander through this store and look, touch, smell and try everything! The Local Exchange is exactly what it sounds like. They offer goodies such as jewelry, art, soap, beauty products, honey, t-shirts, dish towels, canned pickled veggies, popsicles, spices, root beer, dog leash sets etc. I wandered in with my mom on Mother’s Day and ended up buying a couple of the dish towels and a bar of handmade soap for my Grandma. Such a cute shop! Love it!
