The Schenectady Trading Company

Adorable little-bit-of-everything store, with locally sourced gifts and grocery items. You can find pet toys and treats, snack food and basic staples like milk and bread, and a wide variety of gifts for tourists and locals alike. The owner is a joy to speak with, and is a Schenectady native who is giving back to her community. This is a must-visit!

Great Schenectady attraction! So many Schenectady businesses, artisans, and talents displayed under one roof. Definitely a great place to visit and shop. Super friendly and helpful shopkeeper.

Schenectady Trading Company is a must visit place when in Schenectady! The store carries a wide variety of locally made craft and food items that are beautiful and delicious! The store is organized in such a lovely, aesthetic way and the owner is extremely helpful and thoughtful. It's an amazing way to support local crafters and businesses!

I enjoy this little shop with a little bit of everything for everyone. I enjoy getting local products and some organic local produce too. The owner is very hospitable and gets to know her customers. I definitely like the prices are pretty fair and you get quality. I enjoy coming here at least once a month for different things. Last time I was there I got purple peppers which were very nice. Definitely a place to check out if you live or are visiting Schenectady.

Impressed by this store. The owner is extremely helpful and there are a lot quality items. So glad we have this wonderful store on lower Union Street. Its a great place to stop in and shop. Plus they have a great way to order items online. I bought a flag and had it shipped to me in Seattle. It literally arrived in 3-4 days. I was extremely surprised how quick it got to me. Thank you Schenectady Trading Company! Can’t wait to order again!

Schenectady Trading Company is chalk full of locally sourced food, artwork, clothing, and much much more! The store has a very nice layout making shopping a unique adventure. The owner is very friendly and knowledgeable about local attractions and has great recommendations for travelers. If you find yourself in Schenectady, you've gotta check out this trading post and general store. A+

This is a wonderful little store, all the items are made locally. Good place to pick up a unique little gift.

I love this locally owned business! Great place to get staple grocery items. Cutest gifts to remind you of Schenectady.

I visited Schenectady Trading to look for a gift for a visiting friend, I found something for her and bought a few things for myself too! Excellent variety of locally crafted items, especially like the Schenectady items! I'll be back, and I've already made a note on my wish list for Santa of the gifts I'd like to see under the tree!

So glad a store like this exists. It's important to shop local and this store makes that easy, show casing all of the locally made products here in the Schenectady area.

My first visit here and I am in love. Some great items and.... A bunch of kitty gifts. Most places only gave dog related items. I also purchased a bunch of greeting cards that are amazingly different!!

Super cute store with unique gifts and collectibles. Also has wonderful local farm products! Awesome find!

If you live nearby, and regularly drive the to suburbs for your groceries, think again and try this place. Do it for yourself! Unlike what you might expect, it's not merely an outlet for well-meaning do-gooders who want to support local business as an act of charity. I discovered this out of necessity under COVID conditions. I hate going into grocery stores with a mask, and (living in the Stockade), I enjoy having a place for basic supplies that I can WALK to. It's super easy to order groceries from here online. They leave it on the porch and you pick it up. It's as sterile as you can get while still shopping. Milk, sour cream, eggs, great sausages of several kinds, ground beef, local vegetables fresh or frozen, pastas, sauces, cheeses, even fresh mushrooms and locally grown greenhouse lettuce. Seriously, check out their grocery lists and buy whatever you can from here instead of the chain grocery stores. The prices are reasonable, and you're supporting a whole network of local producers. The more people discover this place, the better stocked it will be, with a greater variety of foods, so spread the word.

Beautiful store! The owner was there to greet me at the door and was super nice! They really put their all into this store and it shows! I can't wait to go back, luckily I live close!

Great concept on the part of the owner, a lot of cool stuff to buy in there, and the best part is most of the goods for sale are locally-sourced... (good Electric City Roasters coffee on-tap here also).

Beautiful place for one of a kind items. Caroline the owner is a beautiful woman inside and out. When you visit take a look at some item handcrafted by me. Evadneyline.com

Great place, really cares about local sourcing and locals, great selection of food, snacks and crafts. Like a condensed farmer's market, complete with cery nice owner.

My favorite local business! They have something for everyone! If you haven't checked this place yet, you don't know what your missing.

Love looking around at all the new products. Lovely owner and great items. Highly recommend you check it out.

Lots of great stuff. All locally made/grown. A gem we just learned about. Definitely recommend.
