Nestled in the Heart of Evergreen there is a special store that seems to carry a little something for everyone.
Actually, they carry quite a lot to cater to both tourists and locals alike.
Evergreen Crafters will celebrate its 75th year as a landmark downtown this summer, serving the mountain community since 1948, yet they always seem to evolve with the times.
And surprising enough to some, they’re not a craft store.
Displaying a well-curated range of merchandise, this store caters to everyone from new moms to newlyweds to new guests to our state. And there are options a-plenty for many different ages and tastes.
It’s easy to spend a lot of time here just “looking around.” There is a lot to see.
Hosting a gathering? You may want to pick up some tasty dips, sauces, or margarita mix. Maybe add a fun serving dish to go with. And an apron. Or a table runner.
The baby department is probably the largest in the area. Grandparents love choosing the new-love-in-their-life’s first outfit, moccasins, book or stuffed animal here.
Anything from locally made gourmet chocolate, specialty soaps and lotions, to bronze sculptures, gorgeous cashmere wraps and women’s clothing have a temporary home here at the store. And the handbag selection is pretty nice too.
It’s a great spot to pick up a rugged coat, hat or leather belt for the man in your life, artist-created jewelry and wall art, or one of literally hundreds of beautifully illustrated greeting cards.
Tourists from all over the country come in annually to see what “part of Colorado” they can take home with them (there is a huge souvenir department) and to say hello again to the friendly staff, while locals know they can always come in for that gift that will be memorable upon receipt and even leave with it in a professional complimentary gift wrap.
So many times that happy customer will say, “They’ll know I didn’t wrap it!”
And, if you’re a dog in Evergreen, chances are you’ve enjoyed one of the treats under the counter. Crafters has a well-rounded retail pet area along with an ever-filled bowl of water out front for our four-legged pals.
Susan and Bob Fariss have owned this store for over 35 years.
They have appreciated veterans by offering a military discount and have been supportive to the many various organizations in this community during their time as store owners. Most of the staff has been a part of the group for years as it’s such a family atmosphere.
You won’t want to miss this summer’s celebration of Evergreen Crafter’s 75th anniversary and you’ll be happy you’ve stopped by next time you’re looking for that “just right” gift.
Open 7 days a week!
