About

    "Stickles is a project started by a group of people from Rhinebeck, New York who wanted to see their beloved local variety store continue to operate after the store closed after serving our community for 76 years.  It is an effort to resurrect and recreate the old fashioned small town five and ten cent variety store that we remember growing up with and bring that store model online where it can reach a wider market including the diaspora of former Rhinebeck people who grew up in our small town but have moved away and started their own families and careers.  We decided the best way to do this was to begin online and offer the same familiar products the old store sold and then, when funds allow, open a new storefront in downtown Rhinebeck that recreates the old store and it's wide variety of nostalgic and home style decor, gifts, toys and other specialty inventory that cannot be found in big box stores and malls.  This store will be a return to the traditional experience for the eye and the heart and together we can restore a little piece of Americana along the way.  I hope you will love the experience as much as we do."
