I came in to do some Christmas shopping, and it's a great store. A little bit of everything. They…read moreare not related to the Mercantile in Ferndale, which is in itself a wonderful store... This place has lots of Humboldt "stuff"... stickers, souvenirs, etc. They have a big "home bar" section. Lots of different kinds of candies, lots of different things for the kitchen. I bought a couple of bags of cookie mix for Christmas presents among other things. They also have a large wall of food items, from companies in Humboldt County, including bagel toppings from Los bagels, marinara sauce from Tomaso's. , (I don't know if this is the same Tomaso's that ran the tomato pie restaurant or not...) and lots of other things. Prices are reasonable, and everybody I dealt with was beyond friendly. This is a great little store. Thanks.

They also offer wine, mimosas, and water, so there's something for every taste and occasion! They also do private parties, baby showers, etc! If you're on the fence, just sign up!!

Shop 4th Street Merchantile first for all those special people on your list, or to find something fabulous for yourself. A walk through this place is one of my favorite forms of self-care.

I recently visited 4th Street Mercantile over the weekend and was immediately met with a policy…read morerequiring all customers to lock their personal belongings, including purses, in a locker before entering the store. While I understand that businesses have a right to set security measures, the way this was enforced made me and my friend feel as though we were suspected of theft before even browsing the items. Spending money at a store should be a welcoming experience. Instead, the requirement felt degrading and created an atmosphere of distrust from the very first moment. It is disheartening to be treated with suspicion simply for wanting to shop. Because of this negative interaction and the feeling of being treated as a potential thief, I will not be returning to this establishment. I will also be sharing my experience with friends and family to ensure others are aware of this policy before they plan their visit. If you are planning to go, be prepared to surrender your personal items before you can even look at the merchandise. It is a significant barrier that changes the entire vibe of the shopping experience.
