The General Store Emporium, located in downtown Sussex, is home to more than 80 artisans, crafters and collectors. With few exceptions, everything is locally produced by NB artisans.

The General Store Emporium is full of hand crafted items including pottery; jewelry both old and new, local authors; quilling; baby products; hand-made dolls and teddy bears; soap; jams & jellies; rugs and quilts; and a wide selection of specialty yarns.
