Chester, NY has welcomed a new business.

Chester is located in Orange County, NY. A New York vintage shop has officially opened here in the Hudson Valley.

Sonder is known for being a local, home good shop with great vintage finds.

They have something for everyone. Merchandise for men and women, babies, and items for your home and space are all on site.

This new gift shop has brought a fun space to Chester. Their products are unique and fun.

From sunglasses to candles, clothes, and perfume, I'm sure that it'll be hard for me to leave without all of my favorite things. It's always exciting when a new business opens near existing shops and restaurants. Residents can enjoy the best of both worlds and this would also be a treat for out-of-town visitors.
