Tucked away on East Main Road, The Portsmouth Shop may be Aquidneck Island’s best-kept shopping secret. Run by Sarah Zlydaszek and her mother, JoAnn Ryder, this small shop is easy to miss if you’re a tourist – which just adds to its charm.
The store opened 35 years ago when Sarah was in kindergarten, and was primarily a ladies’ clothing store. “We diversified over the past 10-15 years to be as relevant as we could to as many people as we could.” Sarah explains. “We have a little bit of everything; we’ve created sort of a niche for ourselves.”
The shop still has clothing, but is now more item driven. “We’ve become known as the place you go to find a special gift,” she says. “We wrap, and it’s easy. We try to make things as stress-free as possible.”
