Founded in January 2014 by Laura Sabolefski, the store offers more than just the finest goods & wares, Laura also offers workshops taught by in-house or guest talent. This brick-and-mortar is a must-visit any time of the year!

Paying Homage to Family History

Laura is no new-comer to retail. She was the general manager, buyer, and merchandiser for Boston & Cambridge shops, Black Ink and The Gardener (California). After many years of running those stints, it was time to branch out on her own, thus the introduction of Templeton General.

Templeton General actually takes its namesake and inspiration from The Templeton Country Store. When Laura was a child, her parents moved the family to a small town in central Massachusetts. With the entrepreneurial flame burning, they opened a country store in the center of town - a one-stop-shop for all your needs. Whether it be the morning paper, a cup of coffee or groceries for the week, the store had all you needed and more. 40 years later, Templeton General opened their doors and welcomed Boston into it's wonderful world of curiosities and crafted goods.
