Shopping Centers

Trumbull Mall is one of the oldest malls in CT, but don’t let the age deceive you. This mall has a large number of stores where you will be able to find anything you need. There is also a Cheesecake Factory inside where you can take your family and friends to eat to take a break from all the walking. You get all of this with just a short 20-minute drive, for more information click here
Milford Mall is another great location, just like the Trumbull Mall with plenty of stores to choose from and a large food court with their iconic rolled ice cream bar. In addition to stores, there’s a Dave & Busters and a movie theater with reclinable chairs to keep people of all ages entertained! It may be a long drive of about 30 minutes, but with the movie theater, food court, arcade, and retail stores you can easily plan out a whole day making that drive worth it!

The Norwalk Mall is the newest mall nearby which hosts many high-end stores, that fulfill all your luxurious needs.
