Recent News & Information on Downtown Napa & the Napa General Store
After several years of dealing with construction and a parking lot jammed with construction workers, it looks like the end is in sight.
“It’s been a long haul,” said Jill Brandt, who along with her husband Jim, has operated the Napa General Store since 2002.
The Brandts, however, are looking forward to easier access to their store, which sells artisan arts and crafts along with wine country specialty items, and especially to their restaurant, which is getting a fresh shot of enthusiasm and inspiration from its new chef.
