Shopping in the Historic Richmond Region has come a long way from the days of blacksmiths and general stores. Today, the area boasts upscale shopping malls, eclectic boutiques, quaint specialty stores and treasure-filled antique shops. Shop ‘til you drop! Check out Richmond Region's best shopping spots.

Find incomparable styles and fashions at the unique stores of Carytown or the designer shops "On the Avenues" at Libbie and Grove Avenues. More local shopping information is available at the new Retail Merchants Association site, ThinkShopBuyLocal.com.
