Specialties

The Local Store a full-on retail store featuring apparel, books, music, art prints, glassware, gifts, and more - produced by, for, and/or about people in this community. All merchandise somehow evokes a sense of place in the Chippewa Valley, Wisconsin, or the Midwest in general. Many artists, writers, businesses, and creators of the Chippewa Valley use The Local Store as a retail outlet for their goods, and Volume One's own creative team creates many of the products we sell. Wherever possible, our own product lines are designed, sourced, and printed in the Chippewa Valley. The Volume One Gallery is also a part of The Local Store. It's a multi-use space hosting art shows and receptions, music performances, book readings, film screenings, and a variety of talks, parties, and meetings.
