Unique and Unusual Stores Across America

Some are weird, some are historic, some are wildly specific, and some combine categories in ways that make them hard to explain until you visit. Use the directory to search by state, place, store type, or product category, switch to the map, or browse state by state to find a stop worth adding to your next trip.

    OR

    Medford, OR

    Harry & David Country Village

What Makes an OddStop?

An OddStop is more than a store with an unusual product. It is a place where the retail experience, history, setting, collection, or mix of uses makes the stop memorable. That can mean an old general store still serving its community, an oddities shop filled with curiosities, a hobby destination built around racing, or a market, museum, roadside attraction, or workshop that also happens to be a place to shop. OddStopsUSA focuses on places worth understanding as destinations, not just businesses in a category.
