Shop Small, Shop St. Francisville

There’s something special about the holiday season in St. Francisville. The air feels a little warmer, the town a little brighter, and local shops like The Corbel come alive with the energy of community and connection. It’s a time when choosing where you shop feels just as meaningful as what you buy.

At The Corbel, we’ve always believed that shopping small matters not just for the economy, but for the soul of our town. Every time you make a purchase from a small business in St. Francisville, you’re supporting local families, and helping this community continue to flourish.

Shopping local isn’t about avoiding the big-box stores, it’s about being intentional. It’s about pausing to think about the hands that create, package, and sell the items you love. It’s about knowing that the person behind the counter probably knows your name, and that your purchase directly supports the town we’re lucky to call home! We love St. Francisville so much, and know you will too. Join us this holiday season.
