Downtown Worcester’s specialty and retail shops are a huge part of the area’s unique cultural fabric. Spend an afternoon shopping for one-of-a-kind items while supporting our local businesses and see for yourself!
Thrift and Vintage
Whether you are looking to add to your wardrobe or pick up a gift you won’t find anywhere else, you’ll want to stop at Concrete Collection in the Midtown Mall. The local hotspot has a curated collection of thrifted and vintage clothing, accessories and more, with a focus on men’s apparel (though there is definitely something for everyone in the store). You can enter the mall from the Front Street or Mechanic Street entrances.
Hidden Gems
Searching for something shiny? Downtown has two jewelry stores known for their exceptional service and quality craft. Along with the wide variety of jewels, City Jewelry offers convenient services like appraisals, cleanings, and gold sales. Nearby, you’ll find Markos Jewelers—part of the cityscape since 1981, when the Markos Family brought their diamond-setting skills and craftsmanship from Turkey to Worcester. Don’t miss their original designs and fine diamonds.
New and Vintage Vinyl
Joe’s Albums offers high-quality new and used vinyl spanning the genres and the decades. Joe’s shop is meticulously organized and always well-stocked. The staff is well equipped to answer your questions and make expert recommendations to help you find exactly what you are looking for.
Worcester Themed Gifts
Worcester Wares offers a wide range of Worcester-themed apparel, decor, and artwork to help patrons proudly display their allegiance to our city. Collections include an homage to our Seven Hills, Turtle Boy, blue space, the smiley face, and more.
Designer Bags and Shoes
Just a few blocks north of Downtown, you’ll find the area’s premier high-end designer consigner, Sweet Jane’s. The shop on Main Street is more than just a retail destination—it’s a popular gathering place for Worcester’s most stylish creatives. If you want to find Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Prada in Worcester, Sweet Jane’s should be your very first stop.
