Caroline Weaver's Locavore Variety Store in NYC showcases over 700 products from local makers within 100 miles, redefining shopping. Established post-pandemic, the store emphasizes fun and community-oriented retail, contrasting with large corporations. Weaver previously ran a stationery shop and now aims to demonstrate the value of local purchases by offering unique, story-driven items. Her mission is to foster a vibrant local shopping experience that big retailers cannot replicate, encouraging New Yorkers to connect with their neighborhoods and discover local treasures.
I want to remind people that shopping is fun. It's about going out, experiencing our neighborhoods, discovering something new and having fun.
The shop was always meant to be my demonstration of what shopping local really means - that it's friendly, it's fun, it's about things that are made in our communities.
