Retail & Shops across the Worcester metro

Inclusive and diverse-owned retail & shops businesses across the Worcester metro, not just the city itself. Listed in Worcester and Clinton.

9 listings8 Women-owned4 Minority-owned1 Disability-owned1 Veteran-owned

Independent shops across Worcester and the county, covering apparel, gifts, beauty supply, groceries and makers selling their own work. The Canal District and Shrewsbury Street carry most of the walkable retail, and international groceries are spread through the neighborhoods rather than concentrated. Several are online first with local pickup, so confirm shop hours rather than assuming them.
