The Emporium

The Emporium is a neighborhood hobby shop on Mercer Street in Princeton offering die‑cast collectibles, model railroading supplies, RC cars and outdoor gear. It opened in late 2022 and hosts regular events and races for the local hobby community.

The storefront doubles as an experience space with an indoor RC racetrack, interactive displays and periodic public events like drag‑racing competitions and train sales. Check the official site or phone ahead for event schedules and current hours.

A compact, locally run hobby shop that also functions as an event venue; expect product displays, workbenches and an indoor RC track you can watch during races or demo days.

Look out for:

• Indoor RC drag‑racing and off‑road crawler events.

• Model‑railroading sales and community meetups (e.g., “Coffee and Choo Choos”).

• Die‑cast and collectible displays with retail items for sale.

• Occasional interactive demos and repairs/service advice from staff.

Best way to experience it:

Visit on a scheduled event day to see the track in use and meet local hobbyists; otherwise stop by during posted open hours to browse stock and ask about upcoming races or demo sessions.

• Confirm current hours and event dates on the official website or by phone before visiting.

• The space is small and can get busy during events—arrive early for races or sales.

• Parking is on‑street downtown; accessibility details should be checked in advance.

• The Emporium runs community events; age restrictions or safety rules may apply for hands‑on activities.
