With 2500 square feet the Emporium serves the community and the area with a wide variety of merchandise for the home and personal use.

Customer service is very important and appreciated by customers. Owner-managed, the Emporium has grown in reputation as a friendly destination for anyone looking for seasonal or everyday gifts and treasures.

Vermont Outdoor Furniture

Vermont Outdoor Furniture is perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or enhancing that certain outdoor spot on your lawn, patio, deck or flower garden. Vermont Outdoor Furniture has long been the favorite of homeowners, gardeners, and professional landscape designers. Our expanded line of outdoor furniture includes: adirondack chairs, garden benches, patio furniture, dining tables, porch swings, rockers, gliders, Adirondack chairs, and cushions.

At Vermont Outdoor Furniture every piece of outdoor furniture is constructed with quality northern cedar harvested from Vermont forests. All the shop-assembled joints on our outdoor furniture are dowel pin construction with weatherproof glue. We use stainless steel screws and bolts on all of our outdoor and patio furniture.

We ship all of our outdoor furniture with a beautiful unstained natural finish. Because our cedar outdoor furniture is naturally decay and rot resistant, it is not necessary to apply a protective finish. Over time the finish on our outdoor furniture will fade into a sliver gray, much like teak or mahogany. If you would like to preserve the original natural color of our outdoor furniture, there are many clear penetrating finishes available. The white cedar we use for our outdoor furniture also solid and transparent wood stains beautifully.

Stowe Kitchen Bath & Linens

Stowe Kitchen Bath & Linens opened as Stowe Kitchen Company in December 1983, occupying one-third the space it occupies today. We began as a kitchen store for professional and amateur cooks, carrying top of the line cookware and cutlery, gadgets of all sorts, and tabletop linens, dinnerware, glassware and serving pieces. In 1990, we increased our size and added more variety to our existing merchandise and new sections for children, pets, and eventually towels, sheets, soaps and lotions. In January 1996, we opened our second store in the same building, Stowe Bath & Linens dedicated to bath and linen products including spa items (bath gels, loofah, lotions, etc.), shower accessories (shower curtains, towel bars, ceramic soap dishes, etc.), bedding, bath towels, small pieces of furniture, and houseware accessories like frames, mirrors, lamps and rugs. In 2000, we joined the two stores together, creating Stowe Kitchen Bath & Linens.

Vermont Liberty Teas are simple blends of herbs that can be found naturally or can be grown in Vermont. Our natural, caffeine-free herbal blends are simply meant to refresh and keep Vermonters, and visitors alike, mindful of Vermont's simple pleasures.
