Columbus has no shortage of places to shop. In fact, it is among the top cities in the United States in terms of retail space per capita. For those who prefer the variety of a mall setting, Columbus offers Easton Town Center, Polaris Fashion Place and The Mall at Tuttle Crossing - featuring anchors such as Macy's, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Von Maur and Sears. Other staples of these malls include Victoria's Secret and Bath & Body Works, both part of Limited Brands, which is headquartered right here in Columbus.
If you prefer shopping without all the hustle and bustle of a mall, there are other venues, such as the North Market, a public marketplace where you'll find everything from fresh meats and fish to tasty confections, and from beer and wine to gourmet ice cream.
The Book Loft in German Village is one of the largest independent bookstores in the United States, offering new and used books spread out among 32 rooms.
Don't forget, the city's suburbs also offer opportunities for shopping or just wandering - such as Gahanna's Creekside area, Worthington Square, and the downtown areas in Dublin, Westerville, Worthington, Grove City and Delaware.
