They are in the cute town of Manchester, which has a variety of other restaurants and regular retail stores up the street, so your shopping doesn't have to end when you're done with the outlets. Post-pandemic, retail has struggled, but I found every single store owner and staff to be very welcoming and helpful--it's like they're glad to see you. Worth the trip.

I appreciated the variety of brands they offered, even though the prices were on the higher side, but that's to be expected with these brands.

Have been ordering from Vermont Country Store for about 25 years. Wished to order a box of…read morechocolate toffee amongst other items but was told it was sold out. Advised I could purchase a special they had of 2 boxes of the candy for almost same price - so I agreed. Opening the box the day of arrival and taking a bite - stale! Old and stale. I called and was told I could not return the stale open box NOR the unopened box either! I am not paying high prices for stale, old products from a store that offloads their old products on customers and then refuses to take it back and return your money. That is the end of me purchasing from Vermont Country Store!

Northshire Bookstore is a bookworm's paradise! There's…read moresomething for everyone - fiction, nonfiction, fantasy, romance, biography, cooking, banned books - you name it, they've got it! They have a section of used books for a lower price along with a cafe. They even sell records. There's a full section of greeting cards, stationary, planners, notebooks etc. Plus a small section with Vermont touristy/souvenirs. What's not to love?! I left buying 4 books for myself and one as a gift.

This is the best bookstore I have ever visited! You are literally immersed inside a world of books…read more There are multiple floors fully stocked with every book you can imagine. They also have a cafe. I did not get a chance to visit it since I was happily overwhelmed by all the books. The third floor has the children's section which has colorful decorations, as well as cards, trinkets, journals, and vinyls for sale. Northshire has friendly employees who were very helpful. I am pleased to report they have a large used book section on the second floor. I will definitely be visiting this charming place more often!

Kitchenware, linens, decorative pillows, fabric, dresses, and other clothing items--I was so excited to be here I was practically running in place! The two women working there were an absolute delight--friendly, enthusiastic about Marimekko, and as helpful as could be. I bought a dress, some throw pillows, and some mugs and dishes. Excellent quality items, and they were discounted at different rates, I believe between 15%-50%. I absolutely love this place and can't wait to go back.

The Orvis flagship store continues to be among the best reasons to spend some time in Manchester…read more(right up there with the Orvis outlet store, the Northshire bookstore and Pearl's Place restaurant). The flagship store carries all of the brand's best-known and new clothing items along with fishing and outdoor gear (you can get fly fishing lessons here, too). It's beautiful two-level store, roomy, outdoorsy with a knowledgeable and friendly staff. They welcome dogs, too! They have periodic sales, which we checked out on our most recent visit, and that's a good thing since Orvis clothing is of very high quality but not inexpensive. We are still wearing pants and shirts purchased a decade ago, and they have held up well. We also love their huge fireplace, a great place to sit and get warm when it's cold out (not like the 90-degrees when we stopped by). Men's clothing is on the first floor, women's on the second. We enjoy both.

In the summer bring your Orvis cardigan because it gets chilly. In the winter they have the fire place on and if you bring the grand kids like we do, take pictures with Chester the Bear. We like supporting the company and their many good causes and we want to see them stay in business and remain the iconic place to visit for everyone. The Trout Mural is incredible. Next year our grand son is old enough to take Fly Fishing lessons with their school!!!
