Stomping Grounds

I was in town visiting the college and went to explore downtown Geneva. I happened to find Stomping Grounds. It was a beautiful store. It was clean and elegant with plenty of unique items. The front display room was set up beautifully. The upstairs was even more beautiful! The owners created a space for students and individuals looking for a quiet study space. The idea and outcome was quite charming. The owners were extremely friendly and willing to share their vision and aspirations for their store with me. They made you feel welcome to and part of the town. The have created a store that celebrates both the old and the new of Geneva. They are a true example of what Geneva needs.

James and Beth have a lovely store and are amazing examples of what local business owners should be all about. I would recommend visiting their location.

Stomping Grounds has moved from Exchange Street to Castle
Street, right around the corner and one block over. They scored and became tenants in the old Annie Walker gift shop space, which is a gorgeous building.
This store specializes is books of all kinds which is cool today in this digital age. Where they shine IMO is their frame section with an amazing selection of custom frames, some «ready made» frames, very reasonably priced I might add. There is an array of choices and the man in this husband/​wife team spent a significant amount of time with me showing me options for a project I need help completing. I am going back soon to get my wedding photo framed!
This is also a gift/​furniture/​rug/​coffee shop. Yes these ambitious people have all bases covered in this truly beautiful store.
Upstairs is a whole open floor with a coffee/​tea bar, adorable seating options, a gorgeous piano and beautiful beam work, redone original floors. I was blown away.
This is a game changer in Geneva people and I want to share my love of this awesome store.
Check it out!!!

Very good place to pick up a present. I stopped on the way to a birthday dinner the other night, and found a fun set of bookends. When I told the shop keeper that I was on my way to give it as a gift, she added a ribbon. It was a nice touch.
