We love this shop! We've purchased online for years but finally made the trip for the first time today. It's beautifully decorated and will certainly put you in the Christmas spirit if you need a boost this time of year. We loved the variety of products and saw so many unique items that you just can't find anywhere these days. The welcome we received from the gracious shopkeeps added to the great experience we had. Thank you again!

I have yet to step a foot in the store, only because I live on the West Coast. But I order online all the time and their selection of Jerkey is top notch. And even though it is a small store their selection of music is better then my local record store.

Hours listed online do not match actual store hours. I drove here ready to overpay the portly business owner for poorly manufactured unoriginal t-shirts, overpriced pretzels, and bottled soda, but found the ship closed. Where else can i pay $25 for a $10 candle? Alas, thank goodness I wasn't looking for a pizza crusade at 1130am on a Tuesday.

What a quirky little place this is, staffed by the chillest and kindest folks in the biz. This is my go-to for gifts for my husband. Hot honey and fun sauces? Check. Locally-roasted coffee? Check. Weird candies he hasn't thought about since the 80s? Check (in spades). We're lucky to have this fun shop in Old Town.

This is a great place for unique snacks, candy, drinks and even a selection of hand picked vinyl. Friendly small business in downtown Fairfax. So good I drive 50 mins to visit.

One of the most unique shops in all of Northern Virginia. Come for your country music records but stay for the best smelling candles, coffee, and unique pouches of jerky! They do fantastic events (like Christmas in June) with the best customer service. Make it a priority stop if heading through Old Town Fairfax!

Best store in Northern Virginia! They've got a huge selection of beef jerky. Their candles are amazing. All the nostalgia based candy you could ask for! And they even have great selection of vinyl music! And don't forget to grab an ice cold Cheerwine!

What's not to love about Commonwealth Dry Goods? Ownership is fantastic, friendly and helpful. The selection of good is outstanding, featuring a wide variety of candles, records, spices, peanuts, and sweet treats. Every item is a winner, because ownership won't sell anything they themselves wouldn't want to buy. Highly recommend.

Great spot for snacks, drinks, candles and other goods. A prime example of a small business that supports other small businesses. Check them out!

Our favorite store to visit with great products and friendly staff/owners that always make you feel welcome and are happy to have you in their store! They have everything you need, from vinyl records and jerky for myself, to candles, sauces, spices for the wife, and any kind of candy you can think of for the kids! Chips and dips, sodas, and great seasonal selections of candies and snacks! Our family looks forward to our visits and always leave happy!

Such a great place with things you can find nowhere else. Family owned (by great people) and the epitome of local small business. Homemade candles, custom hats/hoodies etc, and so much more
