Speaker 1: What the Community Store does well is it bridges that gap between 
necessity and discovery. So it has the things you need for necessity, but it 
also has that element of discovery every time you go it. It's kind of one of 
those funny things about you say when you go shopping: You never know what it is
 that you needed until you actually went there. But it carries both. It has a 
necessity and it has a discovery which ultimately makes for a unique shopping 
experience

Speaker 2: The Community Store is worth it. You really need to just go in and 
look around. You may not have an idea of what you want, but you'll find it by 
the time you leave

Speaker 3: When you first walk in, there's a nice book section and local crafts 
and candle soaps, maple syrup, all that stuff. And then there's a housewares 
section, which is wonderful. Towels, sheets, blankets, a great craft section. I 
know that knitting and thread is one of the biggest-selling items in the store. 
Shoes. Menswear. Children's wear. Underwear. Everything you can need
.

Speaker 4: We're a family that loves to walk. We're a family that would rather 
walk down the street than drive to a place, and my daughters, they're window 
shoppers when they don't even realize it. They're looking not only at the stuff 
that's in the window, but they're looking beyond the window to see what's inside
, and it's exciting for them because they're exploring it. Their livelihood is 
connected to our livelihood, and it makes all of our lives better to have that 
physical connection, and Community Store is exactly that story. It's connection 
of families

Speaker 5: The Community Store needs to be around for a long time. I want to see
 it around, but it really needs the local support and the tourists, but locally
, we depend on locals

Speaker 7: Saranac Lake is unique in so many ways because we want a carousel, we
 get a carousel. We need a retail space downtown that's owned by the community 
and is a revolutionary way of looking at shopping and the country, we can get 
her done
.

Speaker 4: You can connect with Saranac Lake and connect with the Adirondacks 
because it's a place that's owned and supported by the community itself
.

Speaker 7: When someone shops at the community store, it just means it's 
sustaining the business. It will stay, and that's what we need
.

Speaker 8: There's a lot about Saranac Lake where there's that feeling that we 
can make it happen. If we work together, we can really make it happen
