Retail

While traditional large malls have gave way to more intimate shopping experiences, the area has wonderful boutiques, a 100+ year-old feed and supply store, and quaint shops sprinkled along the downtown streets throughout the region. Nearly all of the communities host a farmer’s market for easy access to fresh produce. If you’re not sure where to go for a particular item, just ask us and we’ll point you in the right direction.

Just 25 miles to our north is Arthur, home to an Amish settlement where you can find beautifully constructed furniture, delicious home goods and wonderfully hand-sewn quilts. Plus, highly skilled craftsmen are plentiful.

You'll find much of what you may need at the Cross County Mall in Mattoon. Larger mall shopping is close by in Champaign, Decatur and Terre Haute .
