Alpine Shop is a family-owned South Burlington institution dating to 1963, and its 20,000-square-foot store now houses what it bills as Vermont’s largest tennis and pickleball specialty shop alongside its ski, snowboard, and golf departments. The pickleball wall carries paddles, balls, footwear, apparel, and accessories from brands including Selkirk, Vulcan, Head, Babolat, and Wilson. A smart demo program lets you test paddles or racquets for $5 a day, credited toward purchase if you buy. Re-gripping and re-stringing are handled in-house, and the shop supports the local scene by hosting events like the Vermont State Pickleball Championship. The store holds a 4.6 rating across 276 Google reviews and is open daily 10 to 6, with online ordering at alpineshopvt.com.
