About us

The Hope General Store has been an integral part of the community in Hope for almost 200 years, but our chapter of the story began in February of 2019.

Damon and Svea love to make delicious food, Simi loves to decorate for the holidays, and we all love to provide a warm and welcoming place where one can have a slice and a pint with friends; pick up groceries and household basics; find local produce, flowers, syrup, honey, and more; pick out a great gift, card, or bottle of wine for special occasions; or just get a cool (or hot) drink and a snack. (and Desi Lu likes to bark out greetings from her window above the store…)
