The Clinton Museum Store is a gift shop and office building located at 610 President Clinton Avenue in the River Market District of downtown Little Rock, Arkansas. The store is managed by Connie Fails. Offices of the Clinton Foundation are located on the second floor.

Shoppers can purchase Socks the Cat mittens and scarves, Bill and Hillary cookie cutters, Clinton action figures, Clinton hard hats, walking canes with donkey heads, and toy replicas of the 1992 Clinton-Gore campaign tour bus. Also available are squeezable miniature saxophones inscribed with the comment: "Clinton, a cure for the blues."

The gift shop also sells a selection of Bill Clinton's favorite books, including Maya Angelou's I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, the Collected Poems of W. B. Yeats, Thomas Wolfe's You Can't Go Home Again, and Thomas à Kempis's The Imitation of Christ.

The store, located at 610 President Clinton Avenue, was renovated with the assistance of a $2 million loan from Metropolitan National Bank.
