This second branch of Trader Fred's of Edgartown has much more space and somewhat different merchandise than the original store, focusing more on clothing. Sharing a main entrance with the Shaw Kramer art gallery, Trader Fred's of Vineyard Haven has a large foyer and upbeat music inviting shoppers in.
During nice weather, you'll often see beach chairs outside waiting for tired passersby to take a break between shops. The store has a bit of everything (though mostly non-name brands) and the prices are reasonable. It is open year-round, seven days a week, with just a few holiday closings.
