The first Sunbeam General Store opened in Frenchtown, New Jersey in 1889. Their second location opened in New Hope, Pennsylvania after that. The store was established by Ben Duensing and Hannah Opdyke. Their goal was to give customers a spot to purchase both essential and fun products, unwind, and enjoy themselves. The store is also fully devoted to environmental conservation; they host academic events and have a blog with information about natural history on their website.


Some of the merchandise that the store sells is food manufactured right in New Hope, a large selection of footwear, books and notebooks, vintage toys, and face masks. They display their newest products on their website's homepage, so be sure to check them out. As of the time that this post was written, they have a cute Dachshund windchime <3


A restaurant called Oldestone inside a church is next!


If you have been to a general store, what is the best product you bought from there?
