Pratt's Store Opened: 1969 Owner: Darwin Pratt Previous Tenants: unknown Cooperative: unknown Location: 2504 VT-22A, Bridport, VT Photographed: August 9, 2025 Our first store is the only grocer here in Bridport, Vermont -- a town of just about 1200 -- and it's Pratt's Store, a general store/small supermarket of around 4,000 square feet. It's been Pratt's since 1969, but it was likely another grocery store prior to that. It also has a gas station out front, as many of these small-town stores are really the one-stop shop.

I've included a few key ones below, but definitely click and drag to tour the store in 3-D!

A lot of my Vermont store visits are up here in the northern half of the state, mostly from St. Albans to Montpelier and everything in between. There's a large variety of supermarkets up in this area, which is so far north that St. Albans is under 15 miles from the Canada border. We're going to begin in Bridport and Addison, kind of in the northern end of the central part of the state near the New York border, and then moving north via Barre and Montpelier, and then we head west through Waterbury, Stowe, and a number of the smaller towns in that area. We'll turn north to the Enosburg and St. Albans areas, then back down via Cambridge and environs before ending in the Burlington area. This will all take us several weeks, so sit back, relax, and enjoy this road trip through a stunningly beautiful area of New England!
