2-day shipping and big-box stores are great, but do you want to know what is even better? Small, local businesses that care about their customers and know most of them by name! If you, too, crave this personal touch and a more intimate shopping experience, you will want to visit the historic Knotty Pine general store in Colorado:
Located in Bailey, the Knotty Pine is about as rustic and charming as it gets, thanks to its no-frills exterior and ambiance, and a staff who will treat you like family.
Built in 1940, the building that houses the small shop has worn many hats since its inception, beginning as a family restaurant before morphing into a bar and gambling hall, chamber of commerce and information center, and, finally, a general store.
When you visit the Knotty Pine today, you will be treated to an assortment of goodies, beginning with Colorado apparel and souvenirs.
If you are looking for a unique gift, you have come to the right place, as the Knotty Pine offers tons of one-of-a-kind and hard-to-find items from local artisans.
Do you plan to fish in the area? They have all of the supplies you need for that, too!
While all of the above is reason enough to visit, the pièce de résistance may just be the old-fashioned soda fountain complete with tasty sandwiches and hot dogs, ice cream, and coffee.
To learn more about the Knotty Pine and its fascinating history, please visit their website.
The Knotty Pine is open every day from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
