Two of the St Louis area’s most elegant regional
shopping malls are Plaza Frontenac and the St Louis Galleria. The new St Louis Mills mall combines shopping with a NASCAR Speedcar track, rock climbing wall, a skate park and an ice rink (the practice ground for the St Louis Blues NHL ice hockey team). The city’s neighborhoods are also filled with fashionable
boutiques, specialty shops, gourmet
delicatessens and
antique stores.
Soulard Market
in south St Louis is a colorful and amusing place to shop on Saturdays. The
market was established
in 1845 and today offers fresh goods, such as meat and home-baked items. Union Station, the city’s historic Victorian railroad station, has been redeveloped as a festival marketplace, with more than 100 shops and restaurants, and numerous nightclubs.
Branson has also become a popular shopping destination, with three
outlet malls, and unique craft and
gift stores throughout the city. Kansas City has nationally known stores, plus hundreds of shops and boutiques to be found off the beaten path.
