Windsor, Maine (May 20, 2009) Hussey’s General Store has been recognized as the 'Best One Stop Shopping' 2009 Editors’ Choice in Yankee Magazine’s Travel Guide to New England.

The Editors’ choice recommendation designates Yankee editors’ and writers’ favorite restaurants, lodgings, attractions, and bargains across New England.

“Yankee’s editors and our trusted legion of travel writers select our Editors’ choice winners,” says Yankee editor Mel Allen. “From their own experiences and tips from our readers, they research and find the most deserving establishments in New England. Recipients range from the rustic to the refined, but all are noteworthy and memorable destinations.”

Hussey’s General Store is located in Windsor, Maine and has over 30,000 square feet of groceries, sporting goods, clothing, formal and wedding gowns, hardware and appliances. It truly defines the slogan “If We Ain’t Got It, You Don’t Need It”.

For 33 years Yankee Magazine’s Travel Guide to New England has been the most widely distributed and bets-selling guide to the six-state region, providing readers with a comprehensive vacation-planning tool and daily reference. Yankee Magazine’s 2009 Travel Guide offers 270 reasons to see new England, including 254 “Best of New England – Editors’ choice” selections where visitors can find the best foods and refreshments, lodging, attractions, and bargains. This special issue also names 120 top events around the region and includes food, home, and garden articles. Yankee tells readers who’s the Best Seafood Place with a Water View, Best Trendy Eatery, Best Down-Home B&B, Best Summer Theater, and many more. And for those who think Yankee is wrong, the staff is running a “Best of New England – Readers’ Choice” survey at YankeeMagazine.com/readerschoice, with results to be published in Yankees January/February 2010 issue.

“Travel may never have been as important to our psyche as it is now; we may have lost money, but not curiosity,” says Yankee editor Mel Allen. “We still need the fun and adventure and stimulation that travel, more than anything else, gives us. And no place I know lets you see so much – from mountains and deep, clear lakes to storybook villages and world-class museums, all within a few hours of one another – as New England does.”

Hussey’s General Store will also be recommended on YankeeMagazine.com.
