Shopping's a Breeze
Wangaratta's bustling retail precinct in the city centre draws shoppers from near and far (the retail catchment exceeds 58,000 people), attracted by the diversity of facilities and the friendliness of the staff. There are major chain stores, franchise outlets, delis, bakeries and boutiques to satisfy even the most ardent shopper.
If you have a passion for food, then you'll be tempted by the region's superb array of gourmet food and fine wines available in an ever-changing seasonal environment. And don't forget the city's cafes. The locals take their coffee very seriously here, so it comes as no surprise that one cafe even won an award for Best Barista of the Year.
Major retailers include:
- Coles, Big W, K Mart, Safeway, IGA, The Warehouse, Super Cheap Auto
- Retravision, Harvey Norman, Mitre 10, Telstra Shop, Dick Smith Electronics
- Bakers Delight, Subway, McDonalds, KFC, La Porchetta
- Brown Sugar, Rivers, Just Jeans, Mensland, Sportspower, Jay Jays, Kleins
Plus a wonderful variety of locally-owned and operated outlets retailing everything from food to furniture and everything else in between.
