Why Small Businesses Matter

Shop small, do big things for your community

Why Small Businesses Matter puts a spotlight on the local merchants who donate their time, talent, goods, and services for the betterment of our community. The shop local movement spreads virally as local businesses who are “tagged” have the opportunity to share their story.

You're IT Goldenberry!

Congratulations to Goldenberry on their 1st anniversary in Wilton and 29th year in business!

Three questions with Deb Hecht,  owner of Goldenberry.

Why did you start your business?

In 1990, we started Goldenberry because we love lovely things. We enjoy creating a fun, relaxing atmosphere for shoppers to find unique goodies and gifts. We like knowing people leave Goldenberry feeling happy. Fast forward 29 years and we still enjoy making people happy.

We are grateful to the wonderful customers and friends who have followed us to our still-new feeling Wilton location in the Stop & Shop River Park Shopping Center.  In what has been dubbed the ‘retail ice age’, it is a challenge to attract consumer attention when people can sit in their PJs and order online. 

Here in Wilton, we still enjoy creating a fun & festive atmosphere that makes Goldenberry a joyful experience, and that is missing from online shopping.

Best selling product or service?

This really depends on the customer & the time of year. Goldenberry has lots of special food treats, especially around special holidays.

  • During Easter and Christmas, we have lots of British Isles and European imported foods that remind people of their childhoods and family traditions. Right now, we have a wonderful selection of English & Irish imported Chocolate Easter eggs and candy.
  • For birthdays, new home, host/hostess, bridal showers, Mother’s Day, and just ‘because’, Goldenberry has unique gifts & little treats.
  • For home entertaining, we always have beautiful teapots and mugs for enjoying afternoon tea, or for outdoor entertaining, a wide selection of easy care, charming service ware.

People tell us that the 'best' part of Goldenberry is the fun & unexpected eclectic mix.

Do you use any local businesses to support your business? Can you name them?

We regularly order food from Tom-E-Toes Pizza!  We use the services of the UPS store in the shopping center and visit the Town Green Tailor and Wilton Hardware (TrueValue). We so appreciate the support of Kumon, Happy Hands Pottery, Campus Jewelers and Salon Citrine.

The HamletHub's campaign 'Why Small Businesses Matter' is a fabulous project! We are so thrilled and feel honored to be asked for Goldenberry's participation and the opportunity to let people know a bit about Goldenberry. Thank you HamletHub!
