Thank You!
When you shop New England Trading Co. you are supporting a small business in Maine and all the local workers who make our products.We opened our online store in 2009 with the guiding principle that customers deserve exceptional quality, value, and service.
Plus, a great back story!
That's why we launched the Original Lobster Rope Doormat - and we were the first to sell a product of this kind online.
The Associated Press wrote about The Lobster Rope Doormat in April 2009 - the same weekend we got married. Needless to say, we felt very grateful for both!
In 2012 our Lobster Rope Doormats were featured in a live segment on NBC's Today and later that year we were a winner of StartUp Nation's Moms in Business competition.
To this day, our Original Lobster Rope Doormats are still the best outdoor mat in the world (in our humble opinion) in terms of value, color, and quality.
Thank you, again!
