AIM Encourages Shopping Local With Center Store Sunday

Center Gift store with items for the holiday season

On Sunday, November 28, 2021, the American Independence Center will be taking part in its second annual Center Store Sunday. More than 1,650 museum stores representing 50 states, 24 countries, and five continents will offer inspired shopping at museums and cultural institutions during Center Store Sunday. The museum joins museum stores worldwide in this signature annual initiative by offering unique gifts for the holiday season—with all purchases supporting its mission.

“Last year was the American Independence Center’s first year participating in Center Store Sunday. We were still closed because of the pandemic, but used this event as further encouragement to make our store available online,” said Executive Director Emma Stratton.

With a variety of products in the store this is the perfect time to stock up on holiday gifts for loved ones. Items range from history books, examining New Hampshire’s revolutionary past, to colonial-inspired children’s games, and hand-crafted goods made by local artisans. All items can be shipped, or are available for local pick-up the week of November 29.

“Thanks to our participation in Center Store Sunday we had online customers shopping from multiple states and shipped more than we had ever before!”

Shoppers can look forward to Center Store Sunday as the global annual day to Be a Patron – and shop conscientiously and support museum stores and their missions worldwide. While there is only one Center Store Sunday each year, everyone is encouraged to Be a Patron of museums and museum stores all year round.
To participate, shop on aicnh.org this November 28.
