Up ahead, to the left, is Pioneer Place.
Inside Pioneer Place shopping mall, is the Made in Oregon store.
It all started with a conversation between Made In Oregon Founder Sam Naito, and a Port Commissioner, who had doubts about Sam’s new idea to open a store at the airport.
No one in the early 1970s thought a store that sold only Oregon made products was possible.
Sam, an Oregon native, insisted he could find plenty of local goods, enough to stock a small store, and make it successful.
They say Portland has become the U.S. poster child, for an artisan, and D I Y renaissance. You should find many of those products in the Made in Oregon store.
Made In Oregon’s first store opened at Portland International Airport in 1975.
Since then they’ve built a solid reputation as purveyors of high quality, local products made, caught, or grown in Oregon.
They were named the best source for “All Things Oregon,” in Zagat’s “2012 Portland City Guide.

With many more.
