Local Shop Celebrates all things New York

The store specializes in Albany area products

A little piece of Albany awaits inside Fort Orange General Store, where you can find and strut your local pride! The shop, located on Broadway near UAlbany, is owned by Albany native Erica Cubello, who turned a little joke with her husband into a business celebrating the Capital Region. On a whim, she sent a photo of a 'for sale' sign in front of the business to her husband, who replied 'let's do it'. 

The couple now run the store that features Albany-inspired apparel and products crafted by small businesses across New York.  Cubello says the key to bringing the store to life is through social media videos, where they spotlight local history, hidden gems, and the adventures of small-business ownership. 

The store is open 7 days a week, check their website or socials for the latest.
