Hey Folks! We are participating in Downtown Grass Valley's annual sidewalk sale, which is happening this weekend on Saturday the 19th! We'll be up and running by 9:30 and the sale officially runs until 3:00pm. We have selected items at 50% and and 75% off- look for the orange and green dots. We will have some items outside, but will have more inside too! Here are a few old school sidewalk sale photos, and some teasers of what we have on sale!
Hello Everyone! We are all fully aware that the world is especially crazy and difficult right now, and we hope that you are hanging in there and doing the best you can. It's not even Halloween yet, and I apologize in advance for mentioning Christmas & Hanukkah already, but the holiday season is fast approaching and even in the happiest of times they can add extra stress- and who knows how things will change and shift by the end of the year. So be kind to yourself and each other. Take steps now to try to reduce stress down the road. I'm trying to take my own advice- sometimes it's hard to be kind to myself, but I have started on holiday shopping.
One way we can help you is that we can do the wrapping. We offer free wrapping on full-priced items that are purchased in store or on the website, and for a small fee (depending upon size and number of items) we can wrap sale items or items not purchased from us. We have papers for Hanukkah, Christmas, and most other occasions! Here is a look at what we have available.
Take good care and be well.

Stay safe out there, and Happy Halloween! We thought we'd share something fun- more old school photos from when the store was first starting out! The first two are from the late 70's or early 80's when we were Foothill Hardware. The other two are from the 80's after we became Foothill Mercantile. Enjoy!
Happy Halloween! Even a quiet Halloween can still be fun! We have decorations - even some for Dia de los Muertos - costume accessories, masks, make up, and costumes & dress up clothes (mostly for the littles!) to help make it a fun day.

OH MY GOODNESS. Today our fudge maker made a massive batch, which made the store smell of hot fudge and sugar and it was so lovely. She also made the first batch of the peppermint fudge for the holiday season, it's so pretty! It won't be set until tomorrow, but we're excited to have this holiday favorite!
It's a crisp sunny Saturday, and the holiday season is upon us! One tradition that has remained intact this year is the annual Downtown Grass Valley ornament, and Yuba Blue is the 2020 ornament!

Countdown to Christmas! It's December 1st tomorrow (?!) and it's time to get out the advent calendars!

We don't have them up on the website, but if you would like curbside pickup, please send us a message or give us a call at (530) 273-8304.
Bear Yuba Land Trust works to conserve our natural, historical, and agricultural legacy, and they have a holiday auction full of goodies to bid on to support their work in the community.

Head over to their website and put in your bid before the auction closes this Saturday at 5:00pm PT! Visit: https://paybee.io/@bearyuba@15

Happy Hanukkah! This year it runs from Dec. 10th - 18th, how does the time sneak up on us? We have candles, gelt, rolls of wrapping paper, greeting cards, Mensch on a Bench, and a store full of gifts to choose from! We also offer free gift wrapping on purchases from us. We ordered Menorahs over a month ago, but they have been held up in shipping and we are hoping they will be in early this week. We have some items up on the website, but we also take phone orders, offer curbside pickup, shipping, and we are open extra hours!
Hello everyone! I hope you are all keeping safe and warm on this damp, chilly evening. It's the 5th night of Hanukkah and 10 days before Christmas. Even small celebrations can be beautiful, and hopefully next year we can all have big celebrations - for many things!
After a long delay we got Menorahs back in and they are up on the website, we will soon be putting up Christmas crackers, plates, and napkins up on the website (so many things!) and we also got a covid-compliant certificate from the city of Grass Valley and it's on display in our window
Have a good evening!
Our truffles are handmade for us by a chocolatier in Sacramento who has been making them for us for at least 25 years. We have been making our fudge in-house since the early 90's. Both are very popular during the holidays because these decadent treats make lovely gifts. We have gift boxes for each, and you can call us at (530) 273-8304 and order over the phone. We are allowed to be open at 20% capacity and are requiring masks (as always!)
We also have boxed chocolates which can be ordered online, over the phone, or in store. All can be wrapped up if you wish!

We of course have them in store, but you can also find them on our website- you can even listen to what they sound like! Click on a wind chime, and you'll find a youtube clip in the description.

Christmas is in 5 days- who's ready? Don't forget that tonight through Wednesday we are open from 9:30 am to 8:00pm and evenings tend to be less busy. We are open on Christmas Eve from 9:30am to 4:00pm. Because we are limiting the number of people in the store at one time, sometimes there might be a wait to get in. We have free wrapping available for purchases made with us, and free curbside pick-up for both phone and online orders. We also ship, but keep in mind that most of the USPS and UPS shipping deadlines have just about passed!
We have a fantastic selection of toys and have a lot items that stimulate the imagination, creativity, and develop scientific curiosity. We have some of our toys available for purchase online- and will be adding more in the future!

Sorry for the re-post, but we had to make a correction: we're actually open until 6:00 this Sunday, not 5:00. Hanukkah is just ending, Christmas is less than a week away, and the New Year is two weeks away! We are open at extended hours all this week. Evenings tend to be quieter, which gives people more time to shop safely- we have earned our Covid-19 compliant certificate by the city of Grass Valley. Don't forget that we have free wrapping and curbside pickup! To use curbside you can either call us during business hours (530) 273-8304, send us a message, or shop anytime on our website!
(Today I am working on putting more items on the website- Christmas plates & napkins, table crackers, and a few new puzzles.)
Foothill Mercantile updated their business hours.
Merry Christmas!
Apparently there is a wrapping paper shortage in town (which is better than a TP shortage!) We still have a lot of cute papers to choose from and we’re open on the 24th from 9:30am - 4:00pm. Prices range between $5-$10 per roll. We don’t have these up on the website, but you can always call in and order over the phone for curbside pickup. (530) 273-8304
A long, wild, and challenging year has passed and now we face a new one- but we have hope that it will be a better one. The holidays are over and we're back to our regular schedule. We would like to thank you all once again for your fantastic show of support for us and for the other local merchants, pulling together as a community will help us all through these tough times! We would also like to thank the Grass Valley Downtown Association, Sierra Commons, and everyone else that has helped us pivot and adapt this past year. Cheers to a new and better year.

Who is up for something simple, relaxing, and artistic to play with? We have Buddha boards - simply paint on the surface with water and your creation will come to life in bold design. Then, as the water slowly evaporates, your art will magically disappear leaving you with a clean slate and a clear mind, ready to create a whole new masterpiece.

Whee!! We got in these huge, 27” tall lava lamps! They are so hypnotic to watch as the blobs rise, fall, collide, and split. Here’s a fun video in time-lapse and normal speed. Turn the sound up and start feelin’ groovy, then check out the various objects used to give it a sense of scale. 🙂
It is available on the website, but local pick-up only due to its size and weight.

We just wanted to thank you again for the support you've all given us the last 45 years (!!!) and most especially in this last year. Hang in there, we're all doing the best we can, and we'll get through it.

Baby Yoda (sorry, Grogu!) is an expressive little guy. His arms and head can be easily posed in many different positions to show him using The Force, his sassy and stubborn personality, and how cute the little guy is. This is the way.
We have him up on the website, too!

Whee!! We got in these huge, 27” tall lava lamps! They are so hypnotic to watch as the blobs rise, fall, collide, and split. Here’s a fun video in time-lapse and normal speed. Turn the sound up and start feelin’ groovy, then check out the various objects used to give it a sense of scale. 🙂
It is available on the website, but local pick-up only due to its size and weight.

Bit by bit, we are continuing to expand the website! This week we've added more to the games, science, and puzzle collections and have started adding products from Michel Design Works- a line of luxurious body, bath, and home products that are beautifully designed and packaged. They make great gifts, or a special treat for yourself.
Here is a direct link to the collection, and we will continue to add to it! (There's a lot.) https://foothillmercantile.com/collections/michel-design-works-bath-body-and-home

It's springtime, and insects are beginning to make an appearance! Up in the toy department, we have a Ladybug House and a Butterfly Tent with real ladybugs and caterpillars- who are getting ready to turn into butterflies. We made a short little video of their progress so far- enjoy!

Let's talk about Easter Candy, because we have ours out! Our Easter Candy is beautifully packaged and ready to put into Easter Baskets, and we can custom package any of our regular candy for baskets, too!
We have classic solid milk chocolate rabbits from Madelaine that are made of gorgeous, silky smooth chocolate. Foil wrapped solid milk chocolate eggs that are so yummy! We have four types of delicious chocolate eggs with a variety soft centers and a pretty flower piped on top. Chocolate Malted Eggs that have a wonderful crunch.
