You have Mojo's for Cajun and Coleman's for Irish fare. The Comic Shop, Ontario Outfitters, Time and Again Books and Tea and more. The movie theater is a big draw downtown. The linear walkways on each side of the river make Oswego special, as does the water itself. The downtown businesses on each side of the water try to support each other.
Personal service is the key to many local businesses' success.
As a good example, Riley pointed to Waynes Drugs. You can't get better personal service than at Waynes Drugs. We all want to be able to help our customers. Once, someone came in here looking for something. We didn't have it.
