Shopping online? Take a break from the big guys and support local first.

Vermont merchants have faced mandatory store closures and other challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, but many are still open for business and need your support. That’s why Seven Days created the Register, a guide to shopping locally online.

Are you a Vermont retailer open for shipping, delivery or curbside pickup?

Let us know! If you’re doing something different, we want to know about that, too.

Shopping from home is both safe and convenient during this public health crisis. Let this directory of small, locally owned Vermont retailers be your guide to products available for shipping, delivery or curbside pickup. Browse businesses by categories ranging from jewelry to electronics, outdoor gear to apparel.

Looking to buy local for gifts? Shop early to give retailers a much-needed financial boost and ensure that your gift is delivered on time. Shop savvy and keep Vermont strong!
