Avery A L & Son, known as Avery's General Store, has been a cornerstone of the Charlemont community since 1861. Founded by Amos L. Avery, the store has a rich history dating back to its origins as W.B. & A.L. Avery, evolving into A.L. Avery, and eventually A.L. Avery & Son when Amos' son Oscar joined the business in 1890.

Throughout its 157 years of operation, Avery's has maintained its status as one of the oldest family-run businesses in the country. In 2016, the store transitioned to new ownership and became an employee-owned business in 2020, solidifying its commitment to preserving its legacy within the community.

Avery's General Store offers a wide range of products, from a meat counter and produce cooler to canned goods, hardware, housewares, clothing, shoes, building materials, and everyday essentials. As a true embodiment of a traditional general store, Avery's continues to serve as a vital hub for the local residents, ensuring its enduring presence for generations to come.
