First Look at River City Goods’ New Evansville Store [PHOTOS]
Just in time for the holiday shopping rush, an Evansville favorite has a brand-new home, and it’s a beauty.
River City Goods Brings Local Charm to Eastland Mall
River City Goods officially opened its doors this morning inside The Eastland Mall’s JCPenney wing. If you’ve ever wandered into River City Coffee + Goods downtown, you already know it’s the place to find fun gifts, curating the perfect mix of local charm, whimsy, and snarky humor. This new shop brings that same energy (minus the espresso machine!) to the east side.

The space is bright, warm, and filled wall-to-wall with Evansville, Indiana, and Kentucky-themed treasures made by local artists and makers. Think cozy apparel, handmade jewelry, small-batch candles, and clever gifts that celebrate the places we call home.

Owner, Heather Vaught, says the goal was to make local shopping more accessible during the holidays while giving regional creators another platform to shine. And after seeing the photos she shared of the new store, we can confirm. She has nailed it!
Where to Find River City Goods at Eastland Mall
Whether you’re crossing names off your holiday list or just treating yourself to something Evansville-made, River City Goods is the perfect stop this holiday season. You’ll find the shop open now at Eastland Mall, right across from Sweet Treats Candy in the J.C. Penney wing. Support local, shop at a small business, and maybe grab one of those “812” mugs while you’re at it.
