The Wooden Indian, Ltd., Rehoboth Beach, Delaware Beaches, Gifts, China, Accessories, New Proprietors

The Wooden Indian is an iconic store in Rehoboth Beach.  This store has been opened for 33 years and has seen many changes.  It was always the place to go to get that special gift.

I have seen a lot of those changes since I have been a customer for many years.  This past winter I decided to stop by and I saw a sign welcoming everyone to the reopening of The Wooden Indian.  I never knew it had closed.

I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the store had new proprietors; Paul J. Roscosky and Joseph S. Yasik.  The Wooden Indian is located at 25 Baltimore Avenue in Rehoboth.  Tels. are 302-227-8331, 800-225-8331.  The website is www.woodenindianltd.com. At the time of my writing this post the website was being updated.

One of the most important persons in this store is Frances Cowgill.  She is the General Manager.  She has been with The Wooden Indian for 32 of the 33 years.  She is one of those people that have such a friendly personality, key to making customers feel at ease.

I met the new proprietors and they wanted to find out how I liked the store.  I think they wanted feedback from the customers.  I told them that I thought the store looks like what it should look like; an elegant shop with fine accessories like Lynn Chase, Waterford, Herend and Godiva, but also carrying items affordable to all.

The interior of the store looks amazing, you can move through it with ease and at the same time enjoy all the wonderful items available for purchase.

Some palettes have vivid oranges, while others have blues and browns.

Edibles like Godiva Chocolates and all the wonderful conserves, make this store a must stop shop.  Paul, Joseph and Frances really have done everything to make The Wooden Indian look larger and fabulous.

The photos say a thousand words, so I hope you enjoy a tour of this magnificent store at the Delaware Beaches.

Once again, I have to mention that one of the best things about living in a small coastal town is the interaction with all the merchants in town.  It really is priceless…I guess I will be talking to you soon….
