We're slowly expanding our retail presence and we are making retail sales top priority in 2008. However, internet sales continue to be our top source of revenue.
If you're a local and you're looking for Vermont Shortbread gifts for the holidays, you can pick them up at the following retail locations:
- Sweet Clover Market, Essex
- Beaudry's Store, Huntington
- Vermont Green Grocer, Richmond
- Moon Studio Day Spa, Shelburne
- Vermont Holiday Craft Shop, University Mall, South Burlington
- Simply Delicious, Barre
- Firehouse at Barre, Barre
- Apple Tree Natural Foods, Morrisville
- Stowe Coffee House, Stowe
- Leunig's Bistro, Burlington (dessert menu only - not available for retail sale)
We've got a few more big potential retail customers in the hopper, but I can't list them yet. I'll let you know just as soon as they're on board. We want to be in all the food co-ops and coffee hangouts across Vermont in 2008! Let us know where you'd like to see Vermont Shortbread Company's products.
The easiest and most stress-free way to order your holiday shortbread now is right here at our convenient Vermont Shortbread Company web site. There's still plenty of time to order and ship before Christmas and we'll even put in a gift card for your recipient.
This year we're doing quite a few corporate gift orders (40-50 gift boxes at a pop - we like those!) for local attorneys, banks, and other professionals who want to show customer appreciation with a personalized thank-you from Vermont. We're also selling a lot of our shortbread sampler boxes for $22 (filled with 8 assorted "shorties" so your gift recipient can try ALL our wonderful flavors).
There are 23 days until Christmas. We cannot guarantee that orders shipped after Dec. 19 will arrive by the big day. So, as of this writing you have 17 days left to order YOUR holiday shortbread. What are you waiting for? Order today.

Congrats on the recent retail expansion, Ann! I saw your display at the U-Mall,and it looked great! Talk soon.

Ann, came across your website from the wordfeeder.com website. I'll probably order some shortbread because it sounds so delicious.
Anyway, I'm really just leaving a suggestion. Since tea and shortbread seem like such a great combo, have you ever thought about selling fresh tea leaves on your website? It could be a great combo.
Anyway, keep up the great work. It looks like you're going to do really well!!

Anniezee... we miss thee. Come back... we hunger for your stories! Remember that one of you driving around in the stifling heat, getting nauseous alone in your car? Ah, those were the days!
