Merchants Square, on the west end of Duke of Gloucester Street, has both licensed Williamsburg shops and non-Colonial, upscale shops that include Laura Ashley, the Porcelain Collector of Williamsburg, and the J. Fenton Gallery. There's also Quilts Unlimited and the Campus Shop, which carries William and Mary gifts and clothing.

Williamsburg at Home
An official store of Colonial Williamsburg, Williamsburg at Home features the full line of Williamsburg furniture, bedding, rugs, fixtures, and wallpapers.
Williamsburg Craft House
The Craft House sells a full line of Williamsburg dinnerware, flatware, glassware, pewter, giftware, and jewelry.
Williamsburg Pottery Factory
The Williamsburg Pottery Factory is an attraction in itself, and the parking area is usually crammed with tour buses. The original location looked like old barn warehouses, but the new address now looks like a small town center. The enormous stores sell luggage, clothing, furniture, food and wine, china, crystal, and—its original commodity—pottery. Individual stores such as Pfaltzgraff are within the compound. There are always some great deals on name-brand home decor.
Yankee Candle
All shopping should be this fun! The national brand Yankee Candle created a huge village of different shops that include toys, a general store, Pandora, candles (of course), and more. Each "village" offers something unique; the Christmas shop has snow that comes every four minutes. It's very interactive, and kids love it too—they can make their own candles, paint shapes, and form designs they can take home by dunking their hands in wax moulds.
