Are you looking for a gift that will be treasured by the one or ones you love – something unique that epitomizes their passion, hobby, beauty, charm, or fashion style? Well, it’s time to Discover Downtown Concord and fall in love with shopping again.
Downtown Concord is your date night (or day) destination during Valentine’s week, with dozens of delicious places to eat and enjoy each other’s company, from full-serve or take-out restaurants to a variety of cafés, delis, and bakeries – not to mention an array of places to hear music or catch a performance or movie or get a spa treatment.
According to a Valentine’s Day Consumer Spending survey, the average person celebrating Valentine’s Day in 2015 will spend $142.31 on candy, flowers, apparel, and more (Prosper Insights and Analytics). Shifting some of that shopping to downtown businesses makes a big difference in creating local jobs and local wealth – that’s the kind of local love that helps keep our community strong.
Love is in the air all along Main Street and our charming and picturesque side streets, which are home to more than 200 locally owned retail establishments, eateries, entertainment venues, and personal service businesses of all kinds. You will love the shopping experience and how easy it will be to find the perfect, personal gift for your Valentine. What’s to discover? How about: collectibles and antiques; fine art and juried crafts; personal health and beauty services; gourmet food, wine, and candy treats; jewelry and accessories; gifts for sports enthusiasts; clothing for men, women, and children; footwear and outerwear; books and music; games and toys; home furnishings and home accents; and much more.
