To some, Main Street may look like just another street, but to us, it's home base. It's where we walk on our lunch breaks, it's where we shop and it's where we celebrate when our work week is done.
Horwood’s Mall at the river end of the street has one of the best cheese shops: Cultured Fine Cheese. (Fun fact: We've discovered that a wedge of your favourite cheese is a must for any backpack.)
For a little pick me up you can get your hands on a pretty fine brew or scone at Baked Café . Waiting for your order? Step into Collective Good…a retail wonderland that has everything from hip Yukon T-shirts, to beeswax wraps to pack your lunch in.
A few musts for all things knickknacks and gifts is a visit to our friends at Murdoch's , Bear Paw Gifts, Paradise Alley Gifts and Midnight Sun Emporium. (Did someone say homemade fudge?)
Looking for a new book to read? Stop in to Mac's Fireweed for a nice selection of reading material, many of them even written by local authors!
We are big, BIG fans of tasty lunches from Bullet Hole Bagels , dinners at Miners Daughter and a few after work "staff meetings" at the Gold Pan Saloon.
But sometimes, all you need is a nice refreshing walk to appreciate some local art. We like to start at North End Gallery and Unorthodox Yukon, and wander up Main Street to Arts Underground (right beneath our store), then walk one block up to The Craft Shop on 5th avenue …and finally you can walk 2 blocks north on 4th avenue to Yukon Artists at Work Co-op!
We are firm believers that Yukon Nature and Yukon Art will feed your soul.
Speaking of nature, you may have noticed Aroma Borealis near The Craft Shop….they combine wild plants from the sub-arctic with organically grown herbs and essential oils to create wonderful body care, herbal teas, aromatherapy and much more. In fact we sell some of their salves… so perfect for skin dried out by the rigours of the trail.
Last but not least, we are so happy to have new friends joining us on Main street right below us. Welcome to the Main Street family, BluEnvy Boutique .
This is just a start, just a few of the shops and galleries our Main Street has to offer. As we grow our site, we will grow our stories about our neighbourhood.
We hope you'll visit us on Main Street too! Can't make it? You can check out Coast Mountain Sports online now here.
