Shopping
Shoppers in our community need not worry about traveling elsewhere! Jersey City has a lovely blend of local small businesses and bigger chain stores to meet everyone’s needs. Nestled among the streets of Jersey City, shoppers will delight in small, locally owned boutiques offering a variety of goods, many of which are locally made. One of the best ways to sample all the shopping and locally owned stores that we have to offer is to visit the many street fairs that occur throughout the year. There you will learn about the fabulous businesses that call Jersey City their home. Sustainability is key these days. Why buy new when Jersey City boasts several contemporary and vintage thrift stores? Looking for your favorite brands? We also have a large shopping mall conveniently located on the PATH and Light Rail lines.
