Shopping

Instead of modern shopping malls, visitors find a preserved 19th-century downtown where the architecture is as much of a draw as the inventory. The experience is centered on walkability, allowing guests to stroll between blocks of restored storefronts.

Unlike the high-pressure environment of big-box stores, Marshall encourages a slower pace. Many shops are housed in buildings with original features, such as a large pipe organ that came from the Garden Theater, and is still played for customers today during special events. It is common for retail spaces to double as social hubs, often featuring integrated coffee bars or seating areas that invite shoppers to linger.
