Breweries, bars, and restaurants have essentially taken over Sanford in the last few years, leaving…read morelittle room for the traditional small town shopping experience. Triple Goddess Treasures delivers in the area that Sanford is lacking. I assume everyone shopping in Sanford would know about Triple Goddess Treasures and make it one of their destinations; however, it seems this great little shop is overshadowed by all the activity on Sanford Ave. Triple Goddess Treasures is located at the intersection of Sanford Avenue and 5th street (across from Shantell's) and carries a variety of accessories such as bags, belts, hats; apparel including swimwear, jumpsuits, pajamas, outerwear, pants, and tops; bath & beauty supplies; divination tools like sage and precious stones; and a variety of beautiful jewelry. I love the Bohemian Vibe and all the handmade items utilizing beadwork. Some of their custom beaded bags, straps, hats, and dresses are simply amazing! The Mother Daughter team who owns and operates the store is friendly, welcoming, and helpful. If you are in Sanford and looking for that unique gift or shopping experience you can find nowhere else, then check out Triple Goddess Treasures. You will not regret it.

I really like seascapes and there were quite a few. But no room in the suitcase this trip. One thing that really intrigued me was a model of the RMS Titanic. It took the artist 3 yrs to build. Materials were gathered from places to include cement from the pier the ship was supposed to arrive at in NY (icebergs) others came from set of the Cameron hit movie - you get the idea. We didn't buy anything but it was still worth the stop.

LOL If you're looking for a not-so-tasteful- piece of clothing, decor for your home, jewelry, etc. etc. etc., then this is definitely the place for you. Also, do not forget this is the perfect place to get a gag gift or that weird Santa gift exchange thing people do every year. I can't recall the name of it, because I've never done it... now i have to call my adult daughter and ask her the name because I know she does it with her husband's family. Anyway... if you need a gift of that sort, then this is your place. As for COVID, the employees are wearing masks and people are social distancing. It's nice this Spencer's actually has room for a wheelchair to move around pretty easily. L Even though we did not make a purchase, we were greeted by a friendly employee when we entered and she offered her assistance.

Hollerbach's German Restaurant was founded in 2001 by Theo and Linda Hollerbach in Historic…read moreDowntown Sanford. Their mission was to create Gemütlichkeit, which translates in English as coziness. They wanted to offer guests a warm, welcoming atmosphere with great food, laughter, and cheer. Hollerbach's has now grown to Hollerbach's Willow Tree Cafe, a market that opened in 2011, and this outfitter store next to the market. This charming clothing and gift store has everything you need for your next Bavarian adventure. They sell Hollerbach's branded tees, hats, and accessories, beer steins, German gifts, seasonal merchandise for Oktoberfest, Krampus, and Christmas, dirndls, lederhosen, and traditional Tracht, children's clothing, pet accessories, shoes, hand crated jewelry, and décor. This small store packs a lot in. I especially loved the Krampus merchandise and beautiful dirndls. The more elaborate dresses were between $200 and $300 but I did find a 50 percent off markdown that brought the price down to $100 on one of them. You typically can't find these items unless you order online or got to a festival. It is so nice that you can try on the clothes here with the help of some great customer service. I would love to come back someday and purchase a dirndl for Oktoberfest.

Authentic thick & heavy leather with great embroidered patterns and shirts, shoes & socks to wear with them. Nice, but don't know where I'd have the chance to wear them. Without knowing if it's a year round thing for Hollerbach's but there was a large selection of Christmas merchandise. Nutcrackers, fragile, blown glass ornaments (wanted a couple but didn't want to risk packing them). Plus plenty of pickles for the Christmas tree - you only need one. Prices are on the high side but it's excellent quality stuff.

This place changed a BUNCH for the better. I remember coming in here a couple of years ago and…read morefeeling really looked down upon by the staff. If I had a question, I was either "helped" with an annoyed monotone or a stifled laugh because... I don't know, I guess not knowing the name of certain cables and attachments makes me a plebeian fool? I avoided coming to this place like the plague for the longest time, but decided to return for curiosity's sake after learning that the previous staff had been replaced. Ever since the place changed owners, I can tell that they've had them focusing on making a more pleasant customer service experience. The weekend staff is so friendly and full of energy (I'm talking about YOU, Daniel), the shelves are always full and neat (except for the game guides. Most are well-used, so they unfortunately look like a frayed mess), and their selection is so wide, they even have some room for collectible goodies. The prices are a little rough, but they do try their best to price below GameStop for newer titles. I thought the retro games were pretty costly, but honestly, it's usually close to the cost as if I were to get them on eBay and include shipping. Can't really fault them for that if they're trying to make a profit. If there's anything close to negative I have to say, it's probably that the place is getting a little too popular again? Because there are so many people coming in, having only two people running front desk at a time leaves the risk of customers waiting a long time for a simple transaction, since they also handle repairs and the like. Maybe have someone who doesn't run a register that goes around answering questions? Not sure, but I do get sad when I see somebody who has been waiting in line just sigh and walk off because front desk is still working on testing a traded-in console. I wish them the best and hope they grow enough to hire more staff!
