MANY MANY years ago we stopped in the Hadley Christmas Tree Shop each winter when visiting family that lived at that time near Hadley.

I am wondering if anyone remembers the Hadley Christmas Tree Shop, it was in a small shopping center with a pet store and a flower shop and a soda fountain if I recall correctly.

Is the Hadley Christmas Tree Shop still open?? No sign of it on the internet searches...
Many thanks

The "Christmas Tree Shops" are a chain store originally started on Cape Cod, now all over the place. There isn't one currently in Hadley, closest would be Holyoke.

you don't remember it then, it was family owned, decades before chain stores and malls were around.

the last time I was there it was the day Thurman Munson was killed in a plane crash, rocking the sports world.

I remember that place when I was in graduate school at UMass. I lived in Amherst for 3 years, then Hadley for 2 years then Northampton for 2 years. My time living in Hadley was some of the best.

The store was called the Christmas Tree Barn. It was in a small plaza right of RTE 9 in a plaza caed the Hadley Village Barn shops. This was in the same plaza as Riverbend Animal Hospital.

The name of the store was Christmas Tree Barn.

They went out of business sometime after the RTE 9 widening project started picking up when they started doing work on rebuilding and widening the RTE 9 bridge over the CT river to get to Northampton.

The Christmas Tree Barn was an independently owned place.

There is a Christmas Tree Shop (the National chain) in the Holyoke Mall and the Yankee Candle is in Deerfield and not in Hadley. The scary part of that Yankee Candle factory in Deerfield was you could smell the very strong scent of various candles as you drove by with the windows closed.
