Shop New Britain: A Blend of National Chains and Local Gems

Over the years, as retail-markets have increasingly become dominated by big box stores, New Britain has remained a city of many mom and pop stores catering to local shoppers. The Little Poland section of the city is an economic draw offering Polish based businesses while other stores have found a niche market reminiscent of days when most cities had thriving downtowns. Not only do these shops have a long history in the city, their continued presence represents a retail market that thrives because of offering a community connection that includes exceptional customer service.
