The Community Store, now rebranded as The Village Mercantile, is a charming destination in downtown Saranac Lake, NY. It offers a variety of made-in-the-Adirondacks handicrafts, artwork, and artisanal goods, with many items available exclusively in the store or online. The store is not a thrift store but features a delightful selection of sundries, clothing, memorabilia, and unique finds. Customers can discover everything from maple syrup products to everyday needs like apparel and home goods. The friendly staff and new owners foster a welcoming atmosphere, making every visit enjoyable. For those staying at the Hotel Saranac or passing through, a stroll downtown to explore The Village Mercantile is highly recommended.
