A quaint store in Westport is excited to announce a significant milestone in its storied history. Country Woolens is getting a change of hands, and it's a spectacular move that will keep family values thriving.

The ownership of the store, which has been a staple of the community for over 45 years, is being passed from Ann Squire to her son and daughter-in-law, Ben and Liz Squire.

Ann Squire, who founded Country Woolens in 1977, has dedicated decades of hard work and passion to building the store from the ground up. Her tireless dedication and commitment have created countless stories and memories, shaping the very core of this local treasure.

Now, as the store embarks on its 48th year of business, Ann is passing the torch to the next generation.

They are thrilled to continue the store’s legacy and assure customers that they will maintain the same high-quality service and product selection that patrons have come to love.

Country Woolens offers a curated selection of high-quality apparel for men, women and children, featuring esteemed brands such as Patagonia, Barbour and Pendleton.
