Shopping Erie provides much in the way of the artistic—woodcrafts, pottery, etc—and the natural.
For the latter, check the Nature Shop at Presque Isle. The Nature Shop offers items put out by resident artists, including specialty goods that vary with the seasons. These manufacturers sometimes demonstrate their design techniques in store, and the Shop also provides visitors with books and other souvenirs to commemorate their visit to Erie.
The Branynn Woods Country Living Store is housed in a barn, displaying gobs of gifts in the form of furniture and collectibles. Residents go here for items of larger physical size, while vacationers are more likely to grab customized decorative work and other such souvenirs.
Allen Stoneware vends hand-formed pottery, each singular and hand-painted.
And for practical shopping, Erie has a K-Mart, a Kohls, a Target, and a 175-store mall called Millcreek, assuring you’ll be able to buy whatever you need during your stint in this canal town .
