For those who like poking around in dusty antiques stores, you'll be delighted to know that Richmond has a wealth of shops in the metropolitan area and surrounding counties. You can go on a number of antiquing expeditions without seeing the same store twice. We also have several excellent craft shows at the Richmond Centre, Strawberry Hill and at the Showplace where you can buy items directly from the artisans. In this chapter, we explain what you can expect to find at our major shopping areas and malls. We also cover some of the nearby shopping meccas, and at the end of the chapter, we highlight those special shops you just won't want to miss.
All stores are open during regular business hours unless otherwise noted.
