Randy and Christine make many of the beautiful knotted items right in their shop and sell ropework supplies for those wanting to make their own. Highly recommended, hope to visit again next time I'm in Sandusky.

Whoever the lady was, that was behind the counter today, she was RUDE and I never felt more…read moreembarrassed as what I did today, when she finally interacted with me! I asked a simple question about what was in a box and she said it was an antique hanging lamp. I asked if it was a wired lamp or a plug in the wall type...SHE WAS RUDE AS HELL...she said, "The key word was antique"...I NEVER did get a straight answer out of her! I was quite embarrassed, since there were other people in the shop while I was there. VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE-I'm sorry, but not everyone knows the "ins & outs" of "antique". I would think that some antique lamps have both plug in cords AND wires that get "hard wired". It's really sad that she didn't answer me, as I was prepared to spend some cash, since it was my first time to Vermilion's quaint little downtown! I WILL NEVER GO BACK!!!

I thought this little candy and gift shop was pretty cute. There was a mid-sized selection of…read morecandy, decently priced, with some nostalgic finds. I got a small bag of taffy, maybe 25 pieces, and it was priced by the piece rather than the pound. I paid just over $2 for my sticky haul. There is also a selection of shirts and gifts that were nice, and they have a rack of rental bikes out front. If you're going to rent a bike, Missy Magoo's is probably the closest to the ferry dock to get that business!

This place is an awesome hidden gem in downtown Vermilion that looks to be run by a husband and…read morewife team. They are incredibly nice and answered several questions on some of the stained glass items I saw in the store. Lots of Irish items in here from signs to candles to unique metal items. I ended up purchasing this really great stain glass item on my second visit. Definitely well worth a look inside if you're in downtown Vermilion.

The POP shop is a remarkably well organized and friendly local game shop. My family and I were…read moretraveling across the country, picking up a few cards, comics, and stuffies along the way when we spotted this gem of stop in Sandusky. The store was well staffed enough that we could banter with some of the employees about the state of the hobby without monopolizing the store, and they were patient enough to let six year old paw though the binders. They even found a few Charizards and Eevees that didn't break the bank. I didn't pick up The One Ring but we walked out with an armful of stuff and a few vending machine treats. They had water, snacks, drinks, and tables enough for any activities you could fathom. I'd strongly recommend this wholesome, clean, and well stocked shop to anyone passing though.

Very good store for collectors. Absolutely love this place I wish they didn't move to the location…read morethere at tho.

Gather round. Yelpers. Let me tell you about my new favorite place, Erie & Anchor, a place I never…read moreknew I needed. I have boated in Vermilion my entire life. Living in Cleveland, I had certainly noticed the superfluous amount of "coastal" nautical lifestyle brands flush with so much of the same goods. When I first discovered Erie & Anchor, a lightbulb went off. Vermilion was always missing an AUTHENTIC nautical brand unique to Vermilion's specific identity (NOT Cleveland's). Located on the corner of Main Street in downtown Vermilion, the shop is bright, open, and filled with gorgeous items. A brief but not comprehensive list of what you can find inside: men's clothing; women's clothing; baby clothing; local inspired art; keychains; soaps; bags; tumblers; jewelry; caps and more. If you're a boater or sailor, you'll love the practical gear like windbreakers or light, warm pullovers for evening use. The goods are changing almost weekly with beautiful new items and they house a diverse line of sizes that fit ALL body types. Just check the tags and you'll see my favorite brand, Comfort Colors, which is truly inclusive. Erie & Anchor is the bright spot of downtown Vermilion and the AUTHENTIC nautical brand that captures the spirit of Vermilion in a way others can't. This is my new favorite business of 2020.

Erie & Anchor has lots of different items to pick from - I purchased a cute leather purse along with a long sleeve shirt! Everything was well priced and nothing but quality in the store.
