The retail landscape in Denville has always been unique, and with several new additions recently, that remains truer than ever. The additions of The Wren and The Raven on Broadway and Sweet Vinyl on Diamond Spring Road, for example, are very specialized niches and refreshing to see. Whether you’re shopping for yourself or someone else, the collection of various independently owned shops and boutiques, flanked by several chains, will help you find just what you need.
Beyond the uniqueness of the retail offerings in Denville, our favorite aspect is that more times than not, you’ll find the owners behind the counter helping you. Seeing their faces truly drives home the importance of “shopping local.”
Popular retail predictions for 2022
Write-On Gifts: “My most popular items are always the personalized ones—the step stools, piggy banks, and rocking chairs are favorites!”
The Wren and The Raven: “I think it will be spell kits! We are still in difficult times so my sense is that folks will want to enter the new year feeling like they have some agency over their experience by focusing on intention and self care.”
Faith & Begorra: “It’s a toss up between, Crunchie Bar or Cheese & Onion Taytos! My guess is the Crunchie for the win!”
The Urban Muse: “A new item, our shower steamers that contain essential oils, are proving to be quite popular. It creates a relaxing and soothing spa while you shower.”
Wild Birds Unlimited: “Most popular for sure is our No-mess Seed Blend which should continue in 2022. Our Eliminator Squirrel Proof Feeder is our most popular feeder.”
Flowers By Candle-Lite: “Flowers! They can’t solve problems but they’re a good place to start.”
