Boston General Store

Boston General Store sells well-made everyday goods chosen for function, durability and thoughtful design, with shops in Cohasset and Dedham Square. Shelves cover kitchen and bar tools, coffee and tea gear, pantry items, stationery and art supplies, home and garden goods, bath and grooming products, and apparel and accessories. Brands include Opinel, Chemex, Blackwing, Hobonichi, Bürstenhaus Redecker and Rancho Gordo, alongside a collection of goods made in New England.

The business began in 2013 as a small online shop, created as a tribute to the founder’s Nanna, who believed in getting the most out of what you have and taught that not everything had to be disposable. Childhood summers with her in the Berkshires, picking wild raspberries and making jam with pots and pans she had used for decades, shaped the store’s outlook. The goal is to revive the community role that old general stores once played.
