The Flying A

A recent visit to the University Town of Sackville, New Brunswick, yielded an absolute gem of a store – The Flying A! Housed in a heritage building at 20 York Street in the downtown core, this lovely little shop specializes in quality clothing, giftware, and accessories all emblazoned with Mount Allison University insignia and logos. A wide and varied inventory includes T-shirts, sweatshirts, golf shirts, track jackets, pants, boxers, undergarments for girls and women, hats, scarves, mitts, outerwear and even infantwear for the future Allisonian! The Flying A carries a full range of sizes to choose from as well as various colours including the university colours of garnet and gold!

Quality giftware includes pen and pencil sets, mugs, tankards, calendars, note paper, and full lines of jewellery that range from white and yellow gold and silver university crested rings, cufflinks, tie pins, to a more casual line of popular Sterling Silver jewellery to appeal to the younger set. The perfect spot to shop for the freshman, career student, graduate, or seasoned alumni, at The Flying A, there’s something for everyone!

The Flying A is owned and operated by Sandy Harper, who, together with a team of friendly and helpful staff, exudes that timeless charm so typical of this lovely, small town. Just a 30-minute drive down the Trans Canada Highway from Moncton, Sackville is the perfect place to visit on the weekend. Drop by and enjoy their local farmers markets, stop at one of the many fine eateries, shop at their quaint specialty shops, and pay a visit to The Flying A and experience an important component in the flavour of this special university town.
