Best Shopping in Whitefish

Central Avenue is the place to shop until you drop in Whitefish. Most of the shops listed below carry souvenirs and Montana branded items. Here are ** stores you need to visit while shopping in Whitefish:

1. Haskill Creek

Since opening in 2022, Haskill Creek has been a favorite amongst locals and tourists alike. It is a one-stop-shop for wellness products anywhere from face and body products with a separate cannabis counter. The flagship location is temporarily closed. However, their brand new downtown location on Baker Street is open!

2. The Toggery Montana

The Toggery is a perfect stop if you forgot to pack any of your outdoor gear. They carry everything from hiking shoes and outdoor gear to fashionable tops. My favorite thing about Toggery is that it is family owned and operated!

3. Montana Coffee Traders

A perfect stop to make on your shopping day, Montana Coffee Traders is connected to The Toggery. In addition to buying a fresh cup of local brew, MCT has a storefront with plenty of Montana branded items.

4. Sage & Cedar

Sage & Cedar is the place to go for all of my self-care friends. They carry several skincare lines including their own brand. Be sure to stop by the blending bar to create your own skincare. I just refilled my bottle of honey and oat exfoliator.

If you visit Whitefish on a semi-regular basis, I’d encourage you to sign up for their loyalty program so you can receive benefits for each visit. Sage & Cedar also has loungewear and pajamas available that change for the seasons.

5. FORLOH

FORLOH is your go-to destination for USA-made hunting and fishing gear, perfect for your next Montana adventure. Conveniently located on Central Avenue, the Flagship store offers high-quality apparel and equipment — an essential stop before heading into the great outdoors.

6. Out West Trading Co.

This is probably my favorite store in town for souvenirs and Montana branded items. They have everything from shirts to cabin signs. They always have items for sale too in the street or back of the store.

7. Dick Idol Signature Gallery

Dick Idol’s gallery has beautiful pieces with a strong emphasis on local artists. While most of the items tend to be out of my budget, they do sometimes sell smaller canvas pieces that are worth a look.

8. Tailwaggers

Tailwaggers has to be one of my favorite pet stores out west! They have an awesome self service dog wash that is available any time for $13. Again, if you visit frequently they offer a loyalty program that is worth joining.

9. Cycle & Ski

Cycle & Ski has been in business for almost 20 years and is a favorite hangout for many locals. This is the best place to come for any gear needs while you’re in Whitefish. They also carry outdoor gear for all seasons.

10. Bookworks

The largest independent bookstore in the area, Bookworks has been in Whitefish for over 50 years. In addition to offering a wide variety of books, they also sell artwork and greeting cards created by local artists. Their team also does a fantastic job of providing book recommendations.

11. Whitefish Gifts & Gear

I think the name speaks for itself, this is a great shop for all things souvenir related. They also sell huckleberry products such as jams and syrups. A perfect stop if you weren’t able to shop at the Huckleberry Hatch after your visit to Glacier National Park.

12. Big Sky Antiques

Big Sky Antiques is a fantastic store full of treasures from all over the world. In addition to items such as furniture and home decor, they have an awesome collection of jewelry. If you do purchase an item that cannot be put in your luggage, the owner will work with you to ship the item home.

Mum’s not only offers beautiful flower arrangements, but a super cute gift shop. They always have fun & cute items for all of the different holidays and seasons.

I know this is a chain store, but they are too fun not to check out! If sarcasm is your form of communication, Meriwether is the place for you. I also loved this location because it is dog friendly.
