Old Town Shop Moves Business Across The Street In Alexandria

ALEXANDRIA, VA — The Old Town Shop is no longer at 105 S. Union Street in Alexandria, but shoppers will soon be able to find products at a new location opening across the street.

Owner Valerie Ianieri confirmed Old Town Shop will open Monday, Jan. 31 at 104 S. Union Street, which is across the street from the original location. The 104 S. Union Street is located in a building that dates back to the 18th century. It is the former location of Old Town Books, which is now at 130 S. Royal Street.

Ianieri searched for a new location for over a year in anticipation of the old location's building being sold. The building at 105 S. Union Street was sold to new owners, who will move into the location.

At 600 square feet, the space is smaller than the former location, but the space was rehabbed to prepare for Old Town Shop moving in. Ianieri plans to consolidate product offerings and redevelop its online shopping experience.

The Old Town Shop is a gift shop selling a variety of products, including Alexandria and Virginia branded products, home items, food and artisan products and more. Top-selling products include local ornaments, local foods, farmers market items, custom apparel, and pineapple-themed houseware items.

The shop has been in business for five years. For more information, visit theoldtownshop.com.
