Local Centric was founded in 2017 in the heart of Gray, Maine as a small gift shop focused on supporting local makers and bringing unique products to the community. What started as a place to find handmade goods has grown into a beloved gathering spot for the whole area.

In 2024, Travis and Rhee took over ownership and have continued building on that foundation — adding a full coffee café experience alongside the curated selection of Maine-made products, handcrafted goods, and fresh baked treats that customers have come to love.

Today, Local Centric carries products from dozens of local artisans and small businesses. You'll find everything from art and jewelry to craft beer and homemade soap. It's a place where you can shop for a thoughtful gift, grab a quality cup of coffee, and enjoy genuine small-town connection all under one roof.

Rooted in Gray, Maine, Local Centric brings people together through locally crafted goods, quality coffee, and a community-first experience that feels like home.

We exist to celebrate local talent, meaningful connection, and everyday moments while strengthening the community by creating opportunities for artisans, offering exceptional café experiences, and building a gathering place people genuinely love returning to.

At Local Centric, our team is built around family, community, and a shared passion for supporting local. From serving handcrafted coffee drinks and fresh baked goods to carefully curating products from Maine makers and small businesses, we work together to create a welcoming space where everyone feels at home.

Whether you're stopping in for your morning coffee, shopping for a unique gift, or just coming by to say hello to Travis and Rhee, our goal is to make every visit personal, genuine, and rooted in the spirit of community.
