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.

Guido's Fresh Marketplace

For thirty seven years and counting, Guidos Fresh Marketplace has been the premier purveyor of quality produce in Berkshire County and neighboring areas. In 1979, brothers Chris and Matt Masiero combined their backgrounds in culinary arts and produce retailing to christen the original Guidos. From this humble roadside stand on Route 7 in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, the Masiero brothers set about the business of bringing exceptionally fresh, robust produce to Western Massachusetts.\nWithin the brief span of two years, the Masiero brothers outgrew their little seasonal market. In 1983, just south of the original Guidos on Route 7 in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, Matt and Chris debuted Guidos Fresh Marketplace, where vendors specializing in meat, fish, flowers and prepared foods joined forces with produce to assemble a comprehensive, old-world style food emporium. The marketplace soon became a destination for the discriminating food shopper, drawing Guidos fans from near and far.\nGuidos harmoniously blends classic marketplace atmosphere with up to the minute goods and services. Bella Flora beautifies each store with lush, fresh cut flowers, seasonal plants, gifts and homegoods. Bella Flora, a full service florist, welcomes and delivers custom orders for all occasions. Their gift baskets are always delicious and welcomed for all occasions. Mazzeos Meat and Seafood is the areas prime source for certified Black Angus beef, Kurobuta pork and Murrays all-natural, free-range poultry, along with a wide selection of gourmet chicken and store-made pork and turkey sausages, as well as a complete line of fresh, frozen, smoked and prepared seafood specialties, including live lobsters! Completing the marketplace, Guidos Kitchen in Pittsfield and The Marketplace Specialty Foods in Great Barrington offer premium sliced meats, gourmet cheeses, baked goods and all manner of delectable prepared foods. Rounding out the offerings in our Pittsfield store is a sunny cafe serving up custom-blended juices and smoothies, coffee, kombucha, and locally made gelato. Our self-service salad bar is the freshest around. Daily diverse hot soups and hot bar selections make for tasty and wholesome meals to eat in or take out.
