The flagship Simon Pearce store is also a mill, glass-blowing factory and restaurant, located in Quiche, Vermont. Visitors can watch glassmaking first-hand, enjoy a farm-to-table meal at the restaurant and bar, and, of course, shop for factory deals. Simon Pearce, originally from Ireland, opened his flagship in America after seeking what he felt reminded him most of Kilkenny, Ireland. Visitors will dine and shop overlooking the falls, and see the process of making glasses, vases, and other glass items by hand.
