The bright yellow wooden shoe outside a local Wyoming store caught this reporter’s attention, which resulted in a short detour from my intended destination. The small store situated behind that yellow shoe didn’t disappoint, offering a quiet respite from a busy schedule.

A premiere source for Dutch products in the U.S. for over 80 years, Vander Veen’s The Dutch Store is tucked along Wyoming’s busy 28th St. A trademark yellow wooden shoe positioned outside the front of the shop helps visitors locate the quaint store. Inside, bright colors, delicious aromas, and a small cafe-style seating area create a cozy atmosphere.
