View Full Version : Re-supply in Johnson
Does anyone know whether there is a supermarket in Johnson? I was hoping to bypass Smugglers Notch/Stowe during my E2E in June/July.
Thanks!

I believe the supper market has reopened. Or you could mail a package there. Your first Switchback ale is free for LT hikers at one of the pubs in Johnson. I forget the name, but they are on the right hand side of the road at the east end of town.
Getting into Stowe from Smugglers notch is a hard hitch. It's all tourist traffic.
Yes there is a small but nice grocery store there. I stopped by last year. It is right next to the post office. It did take a while to hitch into town though. I ended up walking halfway there before I got picked up.
http://www.johnsonssterlingmarket.com/ is the site for the store.

The supermarket was open last summer. Nice little place, had a good selection of stuff, though missing a few things that we normally buy. They did have some terrific fresh baked sourdough bread, though, and we made awesome big deli sandwiches with it for lunch on the trail.
Thanks! Enjoyed reading your journal.
