Small Business Spotlight:

4GoodVibesBoutique in Kingston

The largest handmade gift shop in Massachusetts just got a little bit bigger (sorta)!

4GoodVibesBoutique is located next to their Kingston store, 4GoodVibes, which is currently the largest handmade gift shop in the state. The store was bursting at the seams and needed more space, so the store owners opened a smaller boutique next door to house their clothing and accessories. This move allowed for more space to be dedicated to art, home decor, and other products in the original store.

The latest addition is an old favorite of most locals, Sullivan's from Castle Island! Sullivan's has opened its newest location, and residents are buzzing about everything from the classic favorites on the menu to the slightly higher food costs (likely to cover the slightly higher rent fee).
