1000 Islands Artisans & Delicacies

1000 Islands Artisans & Delicacies runs on a straightforward premise, stated plainly on its own site: it gives makers "a way to sell your work without having to run or finance your own store." Located at 307 Riverside Drive in Clayton, New York, the marketplace gathers handmade goods from a rotating roster of regional artists under one roof, open long hours seven days a week — 6:30am to 7pm most days, until 6pm on Sundays. Inside, Bet's Bagels operates as the marketplace's food anchor, serving breakfast and lunch from 6:30am to 2pm and specialty coffee until 3pm, using Lake and River Roasters as its exclusive coffee supplier. That combination — bagels, local roaster's coffee, and a rotating cast of artisan vendors sharing overhead — makes the space function less like a single shop and more like a cooperative storefront for the Thousand Islands region's maker community, with the business actively recruiting new artisans to keep the roster growing.
