In Coventry...

Coventry residents have a few go-to spots for their essential shopping and grocery needs. The Centre of New England, Coventry Crossing, and Coventry Shoppers Park plazas house businesses such as Walmart, BJs, Home Depot, Stop & Shop, and Dave's Marketplace.

If you like supporting small businesses, there are a handful near the center of town, including Krafty Sisters, Porridge Pot, Endeavors and More, Tom's Market, and Bead Sting.

In East & West Greenwich...

You may notice that East Greenwich is a little more refined than its neighbors. Here, it’s all about the small, local shops and makers who specialize in niches — jewelry, fashion, furniture, etc... Yet, if you’re looking for the necessities or an all-in-one shopping mall, just follow Route 2 a few miles north into Warwick. EG even offers a boutique pet treats shop and designer wedding gowns. Window shopping on Main Street is the main attraction on its own!

West Greenwich...

The The Mishnock area of West Greenwich and lower-south Coventry are the shopping spots for residents. There are a few small business retailers and specialty shops around town, such as Leyden’s Winery and Tree Shop, Gordon’s Gourmet or Piecing With Poppers. Most residents, however, make the short trip into Coventry or Warwick for bulk shopping.
