Connecticut Shopping

Modern malls filled with hundreds of store and shops, delightful village districts, lifestyle centers, factory-store bargains, and nationally famous antique districts are all a part of the vibrant retail scene in Connecticut. Open-air markets add a homespun atmosphere to shopping for farm-fresh produce and baked goods. Many smaller towns have developed charming retail districts with a medley of specialty shops and one-of-a-kind boutiques as well as relaxing cafes and fine restaurants.

Connecticut claims more than 60 farmers markets and receives a constant flow of requests to certify new locations. Residents enjoy seasonal access to farm-fresh fruits and vegetables as well as home-baked goods.
