I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I grew up in New England before moving to SoCal for several years. I then lived in NYC or a year before moving to AZ in 2009. I worked in the entertainment industry for many years of my adult life and have a deep love for photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world. Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream!
All across the Bay State, we can find general stores that fill us with nostalgia the moment we walk through the door. Located in Marlborough, the Wayside Country Store is a massive general store where you can find plenty of one-of-a-kind gifts. Also inside is one of the largest candy stores in the country. Let’s have a look at this store that’s like no other in the world.
Located in Marlborough, Wayside Country Store occupies a building that was established in 1790. It sells candy, gifts, food, general store merchandise, and more.
Henry Ford once owned this building and opened it as the Wayside Inn Roadside Market in 1930. Ownership of the shop changed hands several times over the years, the building was expanded, and the name was eventually changed to Wayside Country Store.

Peruse the shelves for your next treasure or a gift for a special someone. Will you find a souvenir, a handmade item, a puzzle, or some sort of nostalgic items to take home? The choices here are seemingly endless.
