Getting its start in 2007, Norton's U.S.A. operates out of an old horse barn in a residential part of the north suburbs of Chicago. This picturesque structure is very welcoming and lovely inside and out.
Toys, clothing, accessories, garden tools, books, greeting cards, and candies can all be found here. You'll be proud to own these American-made products.
You'll also find holiday treats, decor, and gifts. From Christmas to St. Patrick's Day to Halloween, this store features themed products that cover all the festive times.
This shop was started by a woman who began researching American-made products around 2003. She noticed the large amount of items that are made overseas and all the jobs that went with them and wanted to start a store that recognized businesses that stayed in the states.
Norton's U.S.A. will ship its products all over the nation to make you sure can enjoy American-made goodies all year long. Click the link below to check out the online inventory.
