Trousdale's General Store

Lovely store to shop at. No bathroom availability even though there are bathrooms in the facility and they are selling coffee and ice cream. You are expected to run around Sydenham searching out a bathroom. For this reason I will shop elsewhere.

Oldest general store lot of interesting things and huge space to explore, the decoration is very cool and the owner is very nice.

This store is such a fun destination! It is full of unique items and the fact that it is the oldest general store in Ontario is very neat! Great card selection and fun gifts for everyone!

Gorgeous and spacious small town boutique. The store is incredibly packed with products of all kinds. Everything from self-care products, artisanal foods, clothing, games, and decor can be found. This store is so much bigger than I would have expected, and seems to keep going forever. Would highly recommend stopping by for a little shopping spree!

What an experience! Could easily spend half an hour and not see everything. Must see. Many Canadian arts, wonderful variety of lovely items. As well as antiques honoring the store's history. So worthwhile.

This is a cute shop with lots of over-priced items you can find just about anywhere else, for instance Bloomfield. We drove from Kingston on a country tour and this was our first stop. I had a friend with me who had never been so I wanted her to have this country experience. We were both in the Christmas spirit and ready to purchase gifts for our families. We are both super friendly, kind, open people who left the store shaking our heads as to what we could have possibly done wrong other than put money in their coffers. The owner and staff were so unfriendly, actually downright rude, that I was embarrassed for having brought my friend there. She was so perplexed to encounter such rudeness while shopping in any store let alone a country venue. We carried on to the Limestone Creamery and the Cookery in Inverary then on to Napanee venues where we were greeted with smiles and kindness. Either the Trousdale people have been in business way too long or they simply don't like their customers which doesn't seem to be a very good way to conduct business. Either way, we will never go back and I'll be sure to spread the word to my friends who are plentiful in that area and in Kingston. Shame on them.
