Columbus has a large variety of retail options. Everything from larger malls to smaller boutique shops. The latter won out in our reader survey though, as The Short North was named as the “Best Place to Shop in 2008” narrowly beating out Easton Town Center.
Originally emerging as an Arts District, The Short North has continued to diversify over the past decade and now includes one of the widest selections of boutique shops and stores in Central Ohio.
Some of the Short North shops that were mentioned by name in our survey include Rowe, Grand View Mercantile, Dr Mojoe, Sole Classics, Loot, Tigertree, Collier West, Substance, Rivet, and Paradise Garage.
Other Short North shopping favorites include Jinny, What the Rock?!, Take 2 Apparel, Paul Robinett, Kickstart, Milk Bar, On Paper, Cookware Sorcerer, G & Co., Europia, Flower Child, Posh Pets Boutique, and Torso. All of these and more can be found on the Short North’s Shopping Homepage.
