My friend has a lake house not far from here & I had gone up for the night and she was telling me…read moreabout this store & wanted to take me here. We went in the afternoon on 06/16/2024. This place is sooooo cute!! I LOVED it!! There's a lot of different items to look @ & we learned that the cashier, Cassandra is also a local artist who has made a lot of the things for sale in the store. She was very nice & friendly. I love the gift bags & tissue paper that she hand stamps and puts together the bags if you are buying gifts for someone. I got a cute porcelain cat planter that was even on sale! The best part about it is my friend actually Venmo me money for it because she wanted to pay for it as a bday gift...score!! I picked up a couple cute NH stickers as I like to collect a sticker from each state that I visit & I also pick one up for a friend & co-worker. I got my Mom this super cute night light made out of metal with a bear in it that I think will look great @ her camp up in ME, that one I'm saving for Christmas. My friend also bought me these flat dish rags that expand when you get them wet, they have cats all over them. I've been eyeing them ever since she showed me some that she has back in Dec. when I was @ her house. I haven't really wanted to buy them due to them being a little pricey so I'm excited to try them out. Cassandra had told us how this building use to be an old Bait & Tackle shop. The owner worked hard redoing it & getting it ready for her trading post. I love the hard wood floors, this place is just really cozy and nice. :-) I definitely will have to stop in again when I'm back in town & up this way. Thanks for your AWESOME customer service & friendliness Cassandra! NOTE: there is no public toilet or running water in here. There is a gas station close by & a DD across the street.

Perhaps, only if you're seeking the smallest game on a very short trip. Is there really such a thing ever as having TOO much? Perhaps, there is no such a thing if you're a "responsible" prepper or an avid enthusiast seeking to advance yourself to handle just about ANY situation thrown your way - including the apocalypse. I definitely do not believe there is such a thing as having too much. And I can bet on it that most of the people here today at Kittery Trading Post feel the same way. Yes, the prices are mostly MSRP and sometimes higher. Yes, you can most likely (99% of the time) get a better deal elsewhere (especially online). But where can you actually have the opportunity to TOUCH everything or be likely seduced to WANT more because you weren't aware that such an item even existed? Here, at KTP, that is exactly what happens. You think you have a particular item in mind? How about being thrown more options that most other stores even dream of carrying? Thought you liked something online? How about holding that item in person and deciding if it is the right fit for just a fraction more of the price (and avoid the need to make returns for the most part?) How about being swayed into another product because you "apparently" didn't research it enough to realize there are even BETTER options that fit your exact needs (or because it's more expensive and you can justify it in person, lol)? Kittery Trading Post is definitely one of my ultimate retail spots as an outdoor enthusiast and an avid prepper (for whatever possible events will ever unfold in my fantasies). And every time I'm here, I always leave with at least one new toy for the personal arsenal. Definitely love this place even if it's not exactly the best bang for the buck.

To make things worse 90% of them were dead by the time we got to the pond 15 minutes away and we have the proper aerating system... I've been to dozens of tackle shops and never had this experience. The fake bait was very expensive opposed to competitors. I definitely won't be back here.
