Welcome to the Brewster Store on Cape Cod, Massachusetts - general store, candy, logo gifts, sweatshirts, coffee
Description
The Brewster Store opened its doors in 1866 to serve the needs of the local residents. Now more than 130 years later, the doors never seem to shut, and the Brewster Store serves not only the local populace but the visitors from Cape Cod and beyond.
The two-story building was built as a church by the Universalist Society in 1852. A declining congregation sold the building and the property in 1866 for one dollar to William W. Knowles, who ran the Crocker and Kimball Store down the road. Knowles removed the church steeple and extended the front porch before opening his new general store. He reserved the spacious second floor for plays, dances, and social
events, and during his tenure it was known as THE HALL. Knowles was the town Postmaster in those years; the post office was an integral part of the Brewster Store, providing a regular meeting place for residents and insuring a steady flow of customers into the store.
