Business & services
Excavators, framers, plumbers, maple syrup, body shops, caterers, storage and more — the working end of a town that is still, in every practical sense, a farm town.

The town keeps its business directory updated online between print issues of The Weathervane. To be added, contact the newsletter — that is the route the directory itself uses.
West Gardiner has no hotels, inns, restaurants or wedding venues of its own — and no chain grocery store. The town’s two small commercial hubs are the Four Corners General Store, on the Town Office complex at Spears Corner Road, and Fuller’s Market on the Hallowell-Litchfield Road. There are also several small farm stands in town selling seedlings, plants, produce, fruit, eggs, baked and canned goods.
Everything else — groceries, fuel, hardware, banking, restaurants and health care — is in Gardiner, about fifteen minutes away.
West Gardiner is a small town, and its directory reflects that: trades, farms and services rather than shops. The Kennebec Valley Chamber of Commerce covers the whole valley, and the Center for Maine Craft on the Turnpike plaza carries work by more than 300 Maine artisans.
