Street Scams in Charlottetown

Overpriced Souvenir and Craft Pricing

Souvenir shops concentrated on Victoria Row and along Great George Street in Charlottetown sell Anne of Green Gables merchandise, PEI red sand products, and local craft items at prices 40-60% above comparable items available from the same producers at the Charlottetown Farmers Market or local craft studios. The tourist-facing shops rely on foot traffic from cruise ship passengers and visitors who will not comparison-shop before purchasing.
