The Last Trip of Summer

Kittery Trading Post and Krispy Kreme Doughnuts

​With the end of Summer upon us we decided to take one last quick trip to Maine for a little outdoor gear shopping at the Kittery Trading Post and doughnut shopping at the closest Krispy Kreme Doughnuts store.

Kittery Trading Post
Our first stop was the Kittery Trading Post, located in Kittery, Maine. For those of you that have not heard of the Kittery Trading Post – it’s a regional treasure that has been in business for 80 years; since 1938. During that time it has grown from 360 square feet to over 90,000 square feet. So it’s big – really big! So big that it carries merchandise from over 1,700 different manufacturers.   https://www.kitterytradingpost.com/all-brands/ 

 The store has three main levels where you can spend hours roaming and looking at cool gear:
 
Main Level

• Outdoor Clothing & Footwear, Gifts & Collectibles, Handmade Fudge Shop

 
Upper Level

• Seasonal Specialty Sports & Related Apparel - backpacking, camping, canoeing, kayaking
• Shooting Sports & Related Accessories - firearms, knives, bows, hunting gear

 
Lower Level

• Fishing Tackle & Related Accessories - fresh water fishing, fly fishing, saltwater fishing, canoe fishing

​We spent over $80 (how could you not) so we even got an 80th Anniversary T-shirt:

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts
After our detailed perusal of all of the gear at the Kittery Trading Post we continued to head North to Saco, Maine where one of only three Krispy Kreme Doughnut stores in New England is located. Since New England is Dunkin’ Donuts territory getting some Krispy Kreme doughnuts is a real treat since they are so much better.

Needless to say, the quick trip was a great way to end the Summer!
