Welcome to The Mercantile at Paul Smith’s College, where the heart of our 1859 Adirondack resort legacy beats strong.

Harkening back to the original shop at Paul Smith’s Hotel, The Mercantile brings you an authentic Adirondack experience—with a Smitty twist.

Whether you’re looking for rugged wilderness provisions, cozy logo hoodies and flannels, or some good old-fashioned balsam sachets, you’ll find it here alongside textbooks and campus-themed essentials.

More than just a bookstore, The Mercantile is a hub for students and the community. Whether you’re grabbing a gift, stocking up on a few campus must-haves, or browsing, you’ll feel right at home.
