Brower Stationers, Troy OH

I recently discovered this little gem of a store in Troy and it has quickly made its way to the top of my teacher supply store list.

When I first moved to Troy in the latter half of 2020, my guide dog and I walked the then unfamiliar streets around our home and around the downtown Troy Square. Every time we would walk south on the west side of Market, my guide would insist we were supposed to turn at one specific place: that turned out to be the entrance to Brower's Stationers.

The first four or so times, the store was closed. When at last they were open when we were there, my dog's joy at getting to go inside was obvious; the bounce in his stride gave it away just as much as his wagging tail did.

It turns out that my dog had very good judgment. I've never visited a shop quite like this one and that's something incredibly positive. A visit here feels like what I imagine is the closest modern equivalent to visiting an early 20th century shop might have been. There's so much to see here that I rarely leave until I've been there at least an hour.

From school supplies for students and teachers to office supplies for just about any sort of business, souvenirs of historic Troy, locally handmade jewelry, numerous postcards, and so much more are here that it's likely there's something here for just about anyone who visits. It also has a very good, wide range of high-quality art supplies for amateurs and professionals, alike. You can even order personalized business cards here.

The staff here makes it all that much more perfect. Friendly, thoughtful, and quick to help, they give customers space to shop yet are ready at all times to help search for a specific item or even to order out of stock items or items they do not carry, if at all possible.

This is one of my favorite places in Troy; it's also one of my all-time favorite places!

The sales lady was very helpful!
She went out of her way to make sure I had the right office supplies.

I had a very positive experience today! I needed a Postage Stamp Keeper to hold my coil of 100 USPS stamps and they had the product in stock, and the price was very competitive (cheaper than Amazon)! Thank you Brower Stationers!
