What are the best places to shop in Pennsylvania?
Shady Maple Gift Shop (East Earl): This place has everything, including lunch, featuring an authentic 200 feet of Pennsylvania Dutch cooking at the country's largest smorgasbord! The more than 44,000-square-foot gift shop features Jim Shore products, Byers’ Choice collectibles, Charlie Bears, Amish handcrafts, and other treasures, and toys. If you're looking for something special for someone, you'll find it here. But don't be surprised if you pick something up for yourself too.
New Dimension Comics (Pittsburgh): Are you a comic book collector? This place has you covered in several towns and online outlets. The staff also wants to purchase some of your inventory, offering a list of wanted items on the New Dimension Comics website. In addition, you'll find t-shirts, coffee mugs, tote bags, and other interesting accessories. Attend some exciting events, including Free Graphic Novel Day, Comicon, and anniversary sales. While you're at it, tune in to the weekly podcast for the rest of the story.
Old General Store (Donegal, Mount Pleasant): You'll find this magical place sitting in the beautiful Laurel Mountains. Its name gives a clue of the atmosphere, as it pays homage to the general stores of yesteryear. Homemade products include maple syrup, jams, jellies, old-fashioned candy, candles, and hand-crafted toys. In addition, a giant collection of charming Americana and PA-made products exists from old-time remedies to jewelry, and furniture.
The Mushroom Cap (Kennett Square): Since the town is known as The Mushroom Capital of the World, it is fitting to have a store with this unique name. Some of the best mushrooms are sold here as they come from the owner's family mushroom business. Inside you can watch a 13-minute video about the mushroom industry in Chester County and view an impressive exhibit of artifacts and paraphernalia. In addition to mushrooms and mushroom-related products, such as Mushroom chowder, dried mushrooms, and marinated mushrooms, you'll find Christmas ornaments, cookie cutters, and puzzles.
