I live in NJ and hardly ever get up that way -- you can't imagine how disappointed I was. There was a small group of folks in the parking lot all hoping against hope that it was some kind of cruel joke. Someday I'll try it again -- but I'll call beforehand. <strong>Oh, Nancy - so sorry! What bad luck, huh? I do apologize - for all of us here at KA. Hope you come back sometime... we're open ALMOST every day (but don't come Sept. 12, 3-6 p.m. - it's our company summer picnic!) Check our Web site, too - it says when we're closed unexpectedly... - PJH</strong> Alas, I was one of the unfortunate ones who went almost 100 miles out of my way to visit your store on that fateful Sunday.

Your store is a wonderful place - food, drink, cookbooks and kitchen tools, who could want more? Look forward to an Autumn visit, since there is none of that here in Florida! I love your new floor.

I was at the store and the floors are great. There seems to be twice the room as a lot of the shelving is up against the wall. Had minor problem locating some familiar products, but everyone is always helpful. The one issue I had was that there are only two cashier areas, and nobody was sure where to stand and wait in line.... it was a little confusing. <strong>Thanks for the input about the cash register confusion — I've forwarded this along to the retail folks, and they'll be looking into it. - PJH</strong> I live locally and King Arthur Flour store is, as my husband puts it, my second home.

My son is hoping to go to attend college in Norwich and I'm looking forward to coming and checking it out (the school and King Arthur)! Now my son teases me that he will be only minutes away from the store. I guess he doesn't realize that when he comes home to visit, he'll be carrying bags and bags of King Arthur products with him! <strong>Alas, LeAnne - Norwich University is in Northfield, VT, not Norwich - about 70 minutes away. NorWICH is a tiny town with a general store, and that's about it - though just across the river from Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH. But come visit anyway - we're probably on your way... - PJH :)</strong> The store looks amazing!

Replacing the flooring was a huge job! I really appreciate the photos of the 'new' store. I realized I haven't made the journey (pilgrimage?) from Oregon to Vermont since the new store was built! It may be time to plan a short vacation back east. I'll have to check the class schedule! Wow. Replacing the flooring was a huge job! I really appreciate the photos of the ‘new’ store.
