General stores were trading posts present in the 18th century Caribbean and Colonial America.
Unlike the various 15th and 16th century merchants, general stores provided several types of supplies simultaneously, ranging from melee and ranged weapons, ammunition, hunting supplies, clothing dyes and maps.[1][2]
The stores in the Colonies were located in the major cities such as Boston and New York, and in the Frontier. The Kanien'kehá:ka Assassin Ratonhnhaké:ton could trade in his hunting spoils at any of these stores.[1]
Each store possessed an accounting book, through which Ratonhnhaké:ton could trade the goods crafted by the artisans of the Davenport Homestead, as well as manage the convoys that would be sent to the other colonies across America.[1]
In the Caribbean, general stores were found in the cities of Havana, Kingston, and Nassau, as well as many minor islands around the West Indies. One store was also funded by Edward Kenway and built on the Great Inagua. Unlike the stores in the colonies, those around the West Indies allowed Edward to buy hunting goods to be used for crafting, as well as sell them.[3]
