Norwich is known for a lot of things, Norwich University and producing an outrageously high number of Olympians to name a few. However some may say that Norwich is best known for their all encompassing general store. Dan and Whit’s General Store in VT has been a Main Street institution since 1891 and has been serving customers with their daily needs, special requests and friendly service since the store opened. In the 1930’s Dan Fraser and Whit Hicks began working at the store and eventually bought it in 1955, and the rest… Is history!
The motto at Dan and Whit's has always been "If we don't have it, you don't need it."
They even sell shirts that say just that!
And this saying is no joke!
Are you looking for mousetraps, shoe polish, hunting or fishing gear, natural dog treats, livestock grain, gardening tools, snow shovels, work gloves or door mats?
You'll find it here!
Maybe some holiday decorations, flower pots and soil, hoses, grill supplies, baskets, pet beds and dishes, canning supplies, weatherizing necessities, camping gear, fencing, screens, custom glass and plexiglass cutting, axes and sledge hammers as well as replacement handles?
You'll also find it here!
There are loads of unique and thoughtfully selected merchandise here. We love these little Soulmates. Socks that come with a spare, because we all encounter those missing sock mysteries!
Looking to start your own sugaring operation? You can find supplies here!
Not a hard core sugarer? Fear not because you can always get a fresh supply at... You guessed it! Dan and Whit's!
No Vermont general store would be complete without a scrumptious food selection.
Grab a sandwich or a famous slice of meat loaf which is made with the best ingredient of all - love.
Every night is pizza night here! You can order a fresh, hot pizza here and within 5 minutes it will be ready to take home with their special oven!
The staff is known for its fun and friendly service.
We love that they solved a draft issue with making some old school cardboard forts.
From fiddleheads...
To wine tastings...
To peanut butter...
To garden Buddhas...
When they say "If we don't have it, you don't need it," we know that truer words have never been spoken.
