Laurel Mercantile CO.
Step back in time and visit our retail store full of heirloom quality, American Made goods. There's a little something for everyone - original apparel, candles, homewares and original artwork and woodworking from LMCo. co-owners and HGTV's Home Town hosts, Erin and Ben Napier. We hope you leave with your bags and hearts full, inspired and proud for all of our hometowns across the USA. Can't make it in person? Visit our online store instead!
Scotsman General Store
As you shop, grab a glass bottle soda and share in our nostalgia for old-time general stores. Take a peek inside Ben Napier’s woodshop where he creates the custom woodwork you see on HGTV's Home Town (shhhh.....if you're lucky you may catch a glimpse of filming)! We sell our Scotsman brand apparel and handmade wood products, delicious pantry items, nostalgic candies...but our favorite may be the world's largest display of vintage sodas in our walk-in cooler!
Scotsman Snowball Stand
The Scotsman Snowball Stand is a flavorful and refreshing destination spot, conveniently located in the Scotsman General Store. With endless flavors and unique combinations, treat yourself to a tasty, frozen dessert on a warm, southern afternoon. Enjoy the nostalgia-evoking decor, sit at the counter or lounge in our green space for a spell. Be sure to visit the second floor of the observation deck to spot incoming trains and welcome them with our pull cord train whistle!
Scotsman Food Truck Park
The Food Truck Park is a great place to unwind and dive into Laurel's best food truck scene. It's conveniently located next to the Scotsman General Store and Snowball Stand. Enjoy delicious lunch options from The 5000, Papadoughs, and more! Relax and play games with your family on the turf and enjoy the sounds of oncoming passenger trains trekking past while you eat.
