The Merchant - Purveyor of Local Goods

This is my favorite shop to go to when I’m at a loss gift shopping. I’ve found the cutest and most unexpected gifts for just about everyone on my shopping lists. I particularly love the “animals on bikes” t-shirt/tank top collection!

Beautiful store. We went the other day and tried these amazing chocolates . They are flown in from Switzerland and only so many places carry them . Def recommend trying them .

If your looking to support local businesses this is a perfect place to shop. Many different artists and even a local chocolatier have items for sale here. Owners were very personable and showed passion for their shop and helping out other locals.

Great quality products of all sorts.
Lights, colognes, jewelry, chocolates, mixers, fancy alcohol and rare and unique items that would make great gifts. Some items in here would make many return customers.

A very cute store with a variety of goods and services! You can find an item for everyone here. I found the cutest Halloween ghost sculpture while shopping with a friend! The chastise was friendly and service was good. I would recommend visiting this store on your trip to Downtown St. Pete!

Cute and inviting store in general. The young lady that helped me out that morning to find the perfect pair of sunglasses was just super sweet and helpful. I ended up getting some really rad pair of Modasten shades that just happened to be made of recycled skateboards!
One of my favorite things about this store is they support local artists and have a bunch of local art on display all around the shop! I also got some other souvenirs and wanted to get so much more, but had to stop myself from going overboard lol. They have an amazing selection of local goodies to choose from for everyone on your list. Would definitely go back if I'm ever visiting St. Pete again👍

What an adorable shop! This tiny shop is a great place to discover and support local artists and creators. It's connected in the back to an adorable coffee shop. Love it.

This is such a fun little shop! I love getting my Christmas ornaments here and other gifts for throughout the year that are made by local artists! Definitely a must see when in St. Pete!

Really cool and artsy vibe. Loved exploring all the different stuff. We were greeted and made to feel welcomed. Such a good vibe going on in there definitely recommend

So much amazing locally inspired art and products inside this shop. Got a local key lime wine to try and a fun St. Pete magnet. Also has a coffee shop inside the store. Can't wait to go back.

The best coffee I’ve ever had and I’m a huge coffee drinker! Beautiful and awesome place, like Alice in Wonderland meeting urban green witches! A lot of beautiful jewelry, crystals, amazing art and one of the kind gifts. If you are looking to be amazed, must check it out and support local artists, by buying a souvenir or something special for yourself, like I always do. Definitely number one on my Top 10 list in US and abroad!
Very nice and friendly staff also! They will make you feel welcome anytime you come!

Great selection but even more impressive was the exceptional customer service we received from staff - a friendly greeting, follow-up offer of assistance, product knowledge, etc. She made our shopping experience a true delight, and we'll definitely be back.

The people were really nice and got what i needed.

Wonderful store and great staff....enjoyed an event we Hosted with Jennifer and Kevin..both were very organized and easy to work with for our Guests. We look forward to having other fun program at The Merchant in the future. Stop in and say hi to them and shop for unique gifts...you will not be disappointed.

I was able to visit the new store location just a few storefronts down from the old location and....wow! It's bigger and more great local product and artwork. There is also a cafe at the back that has baked goods and sweets which I'll try the next time I visit. I'm so happy that they are open again. The store has such a great vibe.

Jennifer is super cool and has been supporting local artists. She owns this neat shotgun style shop with a coffee shop in the back. We found some cool artisanal gifts.

A perfect place to go see all of the amazing things that come out of St. Pete! Everything from jewelry to art to bath products and more can be found here and the staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. I will definitely be back for Christmas shopping!

Very unique spot. Extremely helpful staff. Delicious offerings. Highly recommend!

Went in for holiday gifts for my staff and this is such a great store to have around. The selection was spot on and they wrapped up my items nicely.

I love this store!!! Full of great pieces from local artists and a extremely kind staff! :D
