Shop Local

You can learn a lot about a community from its friendly shop owners.

Essex is fortunate to have two distinct urban areas with many friendly faces to greet you. Vibrant downtown cores in Essex Centre and Harrow offer a world of opportunity for shoppers and entrepreneurs.

To find out more about our shops and services, visit the websites of our local business associations and review their business directories.

Off the beaten path

Business doesn't always happen in urban areas. Take a drive along the back roads of our municipality and you'll find many small shops, agriculture-based businesses, roadside stands, and wineries.
