Kittery Trading Post takes pride in offering the finest goods and service to enhance our customers time in the outdoors. For over 80 years, "The Post", as the locals call us, has been a hunting tradition & outdoor destination for the most extensive selection of brand-name shooting sports gear in New England. A visit to The Post BEFORE a hunt would involve stocking up on hunting supplies for the trip, while a visit AFTER the hunt would often involve acquiring gifts & souvenirs to bring home to family & friends. It's a tradition we happily continue to this day. From our selection of quality brands and products to the knowledge and personal service of our staff, we continually strive to maintain your confidence and trust. Join our team and see just how we do it!
