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!
