Shopping

Delaware is a shopping paradise. As one of only five states that does not have a sales tax, Delaware encourages shoppers from the surrounding states to visit local malls, retailers and boutiques.

The Christiana Mall in Newark and the Concord Mall in North Wilmington are two of the more popular places to shop. Featuring Talbots, Macy’s, JC Penney, Abercrombie & Fitch, Ann Taylor, Bose, Pottery Barn and Williams- Sonoma, the Christiana Mall’s high profile tenants provide a wonderful shopping experience. Wilmington’s Shipyard Shops on the Riverfront features brand-name catalogue outlet stores offering 20-70% off everyday. Visit your favorite catalogue retailers, including Coldwater Creek, L’eggs/Hanes/Bali/Playtex, Nautica, Totes/Isotoner/Sunglass World, Dress Barn, and the VF Outlet.

If you prefer shopping on a smaller scale than a mall, visit retailers in local communities such as Trolley Square, historic New Castle, Hockessin, Little Italy, Newark, Centreville, and Kennett Square in PA, all offering charming one-of-a-kind shops and boutiques.
