Shopping

-

What's your shopping preference? Do you like to hit the big, franchise stores and just get it done? Well, Arlington Square is a good place to start, then. The biggest shopping concentration, though, is just north of I-70 at Wadsworth. Every type of franchise store, from furniture to office to clothing, is conveniently located in this area.

Head just a little farther north, and you're in Olde Town Arvada. Head here when you're in the mood for small-store shopping. You may find designer clothes or fine jewelry in these little shops. However, you can pop into the spice shop for a unique gift, the bead store to supply your hobby, the army surplus to prepare for an outdoor weekend or even a consignment store to furnish your apartment.
