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.

Local goods at fair prices in the historic downtown area. Shop and dine and explore Phoenix Park.

My only complaint is that this place isnt closer to me hahaha. Stumbled across this place with my girlfriend while we were visiting Eau Claire and we both found things there that interested us. Prices arent cheap, but neither is the quality. Cool place.

Great place, besides having quite a selection of merch made in China. Is the far East considered local to WI now?

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!!!

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.

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.

Review №23

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.
