You know that gift store you wished existed in every funky little town you visited? Well, this is the place in Eau Claire. Everything from books, foods, clothing, stickers, games, artwork and more. Its just a really nice place to visit and browse, even if youre not interested in buying anything (though you will be tempted). Service is always super friendly as well. Many of my family members are proudly wearing Wisconsin t-shirts thanks to this place :)
The Volume One Local Store in Eau Claire is a really fun store. The smell of scented candles wafted over us when we walked in. They have a nice selection of books from or about the area, as well as local drinks, cheeses, treats, and knick knacks. It is across the street from the Oxbow hotel, and a stones throw from Ramones ice cream shop. Yum! 😋
I was at the shop tonight and had such amazing service that I wanted to show my thanks. The two guys that were working tonight were so warm and helpful - I really felt welcomed and valued. It was just before closing and they didnt make me feel rushed and even took time to show me other items that might work for a decor project Im working on. They were really fantastic and made my experience positive and memorable.
One of the best gift purchasing stores Ive visited. A huge selection of local food, art, stickers, mugs, shirts, and even things like backpacks and dishware. All from local creators, reflecting deep pride of place and community.My buddy who lives in Eau Claire insisted that we visit. They are open late too - 9pm!
Awesome local store in downtown Eau Claire. Great selection of unique gifts, including glasses/mugs, t-shirts, sweatshirts, candles, posters, and more. Definitely check this place out if you are in Eau Claire!
Incredible mix of unique products. Plenty of local goodies to buy for yourself or to make a great gift. The staff was very friendly as well.
I really enjoy bopping around the local store. Lots of great products and information on the vendor if you want to contact them. Its a fun place that has only expanded their stocks. Go here and spend money.
Really interesting and fun selection of midwest/eau claire related items and more! Apparel, pottery, books, plants, home decor... Tons of options for unique gifts at moderately affordable prices.
I was in town for a short trip and I wanted to bring a little bit of Wisconsin home with me. This store was the perfect answer to this! Some many unique items, tasty treats and options.The curation and creation of these local items were so well thought out. I wish all the places I visited had a store like this!
Filled with great gifts, probably would have spent more money if I had a bigger piece of luggage. Also it had a great outdoor plant store attached to it. Overall a great atmosphere.
Fantastic store with local Wisconsin made products! Good, wine,liquor,games,art,plants,cards,clothes. Greatness!! Also..latest Volume I magazine.Checkout the outside alley..Beautiful plants and gifts! Great local sponsor for community events!
Wonderful unique WI based products. Beautiful store. I wish Id discovered it sooner.
Great location. Prices are higher then I would like but it was local. So you have to pay for quality. Worth stopping in.
Wonderful merchandise. Friendly staff. Love the venue.
Love this shop! Always has good energy and super helpful staff. We stop every time we are in Eau Claire and almost always find something fun, new, and unique! Highly recommended!
So much fun to go there and look around you can always find something to bring home with ya. Love all the local writers books!!
Fun place. Interesting & unique local items.
Just left the store and had to make sure to write something about her! I was helped out today by Jada or Jade, THE sweetest and best service i’ve had in awhile, she was working on the floor filling inventory and I had so many questions since i’m from Madison and this was my first time at your store and she never stop answering or looking for me even though she was trying to get stuff done. She helped me with sizes, running around (literally), all for me!! Such a great smile and attitude, i’ll be back when i’m in town again! Thank you guys!!
Everything there is unique and they always have changing/updating inventory. Great store for local and Wisconsin gifts.
Matt is a welcoming and excellent assistant manager and showed us a lot of neat stuff in the store...great job👍👍👍
Great customer service! They put together a gift basket on short notice and brought it out to an Uber driver I arranged for local delivery. Thank you, from a consummate procrastinator!
Very cute store! They had a wide selection of so many different things and they had really good sales when we were there. Lots of local Eau Claire things but something there for everyone! Would highly recommend going!
Quaint shop offering Wisconsin, Eau Claire and local community products at reasonable prices.
Cute shop, definitely a little pricier than I expected
Honestly I dont find it that great or helpful theyre top places to go for fun rarely changes in a long time frame ( would like to see new things to try) and to a lot of places they dont like they seem very judgmental and almost rude to just because its not for one person doesnt mean it not for others and a lot of good businesses take a hit when one of their employees post a bad review( think they should stress that even though it not for them others may find that place enjoyable) giving it a one star only because cant give 0
Very neat little tourist shop with some nice items that we picked up. Would love to visit again!
Local items. Friendly service.
Really relaxing vibe! They carry a wide variety of local crafts and artisanal products from local vendors. Art, photography, woodworking, apparel, and a good selection of locally sourced food just to name a few.
Always my favorite stop for WI souvenirs
I took a wrong turn and ended up here! I absolutely love this store! I love what it stands for, the aesthetic, the products and the people!As a ceramic artist myself, I was very pleased at the prices. Quality, handmade, local goods are hard to beat, so, I’m happy to pay a little more to support artists and craftspeople who are trying to make a fair wage while using their gifts and talents!I’m venturing out on a similar path, opening a gallery and studio, and had a lot of questions. The shopkeeper was friendly, encouraging and helpful. Yay for local!!!
Friendly people and fine local goods
One of my favorite shops! Love what they stand for and how there is always something new when I stop in. The apparel is great... Especially the nostalgic local designs. I appreciate that they support a variety of artists. :)
Great place to shop and buy locally made and produced items!!
Great deals and fun Eau Claire and Chippewa Valley memorabilia... cool place!
Excellent selection of Wisconsin made gifts and Items, Im always happy to support local when I can
Very unique things
Great place for all things wisconsin and made in wisconsin
My wife and I always enjoy stopping in here. They have a lot of awesome and unique gifts. Plus a lot of cool local themed items.A lot of the items they have a hand made and or from local companies as well.
Great place, besides having quite a selection of merch made in China. Is the far East considered local to WI now?
A really fun atmosphere! Store has that home country feel. They have everything from one fighters, to handmade household items from local artists, two books written from those within the area. Honey went there, they were having a 15% off sale. Sometimes they have sales as some items are a little pricey, but definitely unique!
Local sweet spot to find that unique gift!
Local goods at fair prices in the historic downtown area. Shop and dine and explore Phoenix Park.
A very nice gift shop selling hand crafted items from community artisans. All things Eau Claire.
Beautiful interior and exterior, make sure you check out the art gallery
Love this store. Small but well organized. They have locally written books, artists, music, jewelry, soaps, and more. Such a fun place to shop for gifts. They also have a small place they do events in like host readings, use as an art gallery or show Christmas movies around the holidays. Never gets old, I have gone there innumerable times over the years. Friendly staff and a great atmosphere make this a must stop.
THE place to find the perfect gift for that special someone! I love all the local options! Baby things, Christmas things, prints, pottery, cups/mugs, clothes, games, books, snacks, literally everything! This is a MUST see in EC!
Gorgeous, quaint lil shop! Lots of local made items- pottery, artisanal soaps, specialty cheeses in the shape of a cow, gorgeous pottery, clothing, wooden toys, etc. Most of it Wisconsin themed. Masks and hand sanitizer available, all workers were masked as well.
If you are looking for something made in the Eau Claire area this is the place to go. They had a good selection of a variety of things. A little something for everyone.
Lots of unique Wisconsin items. I looked all over for a cribbage board. Yep, they had some really nice ones.
Awesome variety of WI and EC items. Visited when I came back home from out of state and looking forward to showing off some cool unique gifts.Anyone looking for a unique gift can certainly find what they are looking for here.Ill be back on our next visit to see what new items they have!
Love this place soo many things wisco
Not a very reliable source. Seem to discriminate against small businesses that may offer great things but dont choose to allocate their advertising dollars to the volume one publication. Check it all out for yourself.
The experience starts when you open the door, the sound and smells welcome you before the staff have a chance to say hello. The pride for Wisconsin becomes infectious as you peruse all the things you didnt know you need and want. Take your time, put your phones down, and take it all in. I cant wait to come back.
We love The Local Store - always fun and unique items and very friendly staff!
I attended the opening reception for a new exhibition of art by a local photographer. The display room allowed the art to be seen to best advantage. I enjoyed looking at the high-quality items for sale in the main part of the store, and bought several for myself and for my grandchildren.
Knowledgeable staff, good pandemic preparedness, awesome gift options! Check them out!
The local store is full of unique gifts and photographs. The store and Volume One headquarters are in the same building. Great vibe and cool merch.
I absolutely love this store! Neat locally made items. Fun shirts that only locals would understand and so much more! I visit as often as I can to see their new products!!
Love this store! Great selection of unique gifts, appreciate all of the local and WI items. Super friendly staff!!!
Theres no better place to shop in Eau Claire if you like affordable goods that pay proper homage to the region and state as a whole. Love this spot!
My go-to for gifts - love supporting the local artists.. we have so much talent! BUY LOCAL!
I love the handmade gifts and unique items that are at this store. This place is a hidden gem in the Chippewa Valley.
Love all the local merchandise! The store expansion is awesome! Dont forget to check out the artists featured in the gallery!
Nice little local store. Great place to go for gifts with Eau Claire flavor.
Cute gift shop. Found some nice local items for my friends Christmas. They also have a shelf of locally distilled liquors which was pretty exciting to me! I cant wait to try the aged double barreled gin...nom nom nom!
Coolest place ever. If youre a tourist, come here! If youre a local, come here! Has such genuine Eau Claire/Wisconsin products. The employees are always friendly, and the variety of products allows you to shop & buy gifts for absolutely anyone.

One of the coolest gift shops I have ever visited!
Loved all the locally made things. Very quaint and cute store. Neat one of a kind items. Buy a $1.00 caramel at the counter if you visit....the best caramel I have EVER eaten!!
Great selection of local goods and creative finds! Very chill atmosphere! Awesome place to see live music and local art!
Discovered Volume One when I was attending UWEC and still love it now. My favorite part is probably the listing of classes or events that are happening in the area. The Local Store is also amazing and I have bought stuff for myself and even as presents for friends and family from out of town. Have never been disappointed by a visit and all the stuff I have purchased has seemed to be good quality without being too expensive.
A nice selection of Wisconsin and Eau Claire memorabilia. Staff is friendly and helpful.
A very cool place with lots of Eau Claire and Wisconsin themed merchandise. Also a great place for small up close shows.
Always fun to explore the store. Many new areas of interest!
Great selection of goods. If youre looking for all things Wisconsin, this is your store!
Awesome little shop with tons of locally made things. Lots of stuff from eau claire or the chippewa valley area, and also just general Wisconsin things! Also loved the local music being played, already was introduced to so many local artists because of just one visit here! Volume One is also a great news source for the area, would recommend everything related to them!
Great local store.
I actually bought a really cool shirt from here. I went to school in Eau Claire at the college level so it was nice to see that they have a store where you can buy local trinkets
This is where we go when we need a gift for out-of-town guests, family, friends, coworkers, hosts, etc. We also go here for gifts for ourselves. Bought ourselves a Wisconsin cribbage board and love it!
Great local items by artists and vendors from Eau Claire and the surrounding area.
A fun place to get all your Wisconsin home town gear. Cute unique gift finds. Always a fun stop.
Gem of a shop. Great place to send visitors who are looking for a taste of the valley.
The Local Store is such a cool place offering unique and tasty items from the Chippewa Valley! I have gone here many times to get gifts for others and have never been disappointed with their service or selection.
Updates are great! Very cute store with novelty gifts,many locally made.
Great store with helpful staff and awesome prints, t-shirts, coffee mugs, etc. Buy something original for yourself or family that supports the local economy and explore the area. Highly recommend. Oh, and dont forget to grab a VolumeOne on your way out.
If you are visiting Eau Claire, stop by the Local Store for a huge selection of items made by local artists, designers, writers and all sorts of creative types. Located a short walk from downtown hotels and 2 blocks from Phoenix Park.
The local store has everything you could want to show your Wisconsin pride or your local business love. The staff were friendly and helpful.
Nice local shop that has a variety of goods for gifts and yourself!
Cute souvenir shop in a nice part of Eau Claire! It combines an antique shop with current cultural items, like music, arts, and crafts. Mom will love this shop!
We brought friends, from out of state, to the Local Store and they loved it! Great gifts, unique gifts, and always fantastic customer service.
Little overpriced. But still a cool store.
Kudos to Volume one / Local Store for supporting local artists. One stop shopping.
