There are many little shops that line the streets of Lake Geneva that are great for leap-frogging between on a summer night.

The best of the shops are located on the two major roads of Broad & Main. The Treasure Cove has made a name for itself by serving their tourists for over 20 years. The store is a great place to shop but if you are not able to make it to Lake Geneva take a look on their new website www.lakegenevatshirts.com to see their items along with other gifts as well!
