Instead of going back to our old 10am every morning opening time, we decided to give our customers an earlier option on our busier week days. We noticed that people really weren’t coming in before 11 frequently on Tuesday and Wednesday, so we’re going to keep those days as later opening. Stop in earlier today for GF sourdough because it just arrived!

This cup and saucer set is our most talked about vintage item in the store (well, besides the Pyrex nesting bowl set!) It’s by the register which catches the eye of many shoppers and it really is quite beautiful! To be honest, I’m shocked it’s still here.

The sun is shining and all I can think about is how much I can’t wait to go to the lake this summer ⛵️ What’s better than summer on a lake in the Adirondacks!? Not much! Make sure you’re prepared with a crocheted can & cup cozy! The best thing about these (besides the great color combos!) is how stretchy they are to fit a wide range of cups, cans & bottles

Our Story

The owner of The Schenectady Trading Company moved to Schenectady at the age of 5 and has a love for the City and its unique American heritage. After selling her original photography and poetry in the marketplace, she began to envision a space that was specifically focused on highlighting Schenectady County. Why limit these pursuits to weekend festivals and farmers’ markets? The store will be a place where both residents and visitors can find affordable goods that are created locally and also find items that are inspired by the area and its history - architecture, invention, electricity, locomotives, Erie Canal heritage, Dutch and indigenous origins, and the Mohawk River. This inspiration started with some souvenir items - framed prints, magnets, calendars, mugs, etc. - and quickly grew to incorporate products from other local makers and manufacturers living in and around Schenectady. The owner has done the legwork to bring all of these products under one roof so that local is truly local! If you have friends or family in town, are passing through as a tourist, or want to send a care package or gift to out-of-towners with a connection to the city, The Schenectady Trading Company is the place to shop. More than that, it endeavors to be a gathering space for nearby residents to get connected to their community in a warm and inviting atmosphere.
