If you’re a shopper living in or traveling through Lancaster, OH, well, we have a secret for you: You’re really spoiled for options here! Our small town in Central Ohio has enough shopping options to keep you busy until your wallet runs dry. Of course, there are stores where you can buy just about everything you need, but if you’re looking to shop for the experience, here are our recommendations for some unique options.

1. Peddler’s Junction

Oh, Peddler’s Junction! This huge consignment store at 1375 Old Logan Road is an absolute must-visit for anyone in Lancaster. Walk through vintage-decorated doors, and you’ll find yourself in an antique store that feels more like a city from another world than a small mom-and-pop shop.

Peddler’s Junction is most renowned for its collection of antiques, handcrafts, and home ornaments, but they have just about everything. You can easily spend hours browsing goodies here and probably want to come back for more. And coming back is easy – the vendors and selection change basically every day!

2. Olde Shoe Factory Antique Mall

If you’re looking to buy something unique for yourself or a loved one that you won’t find anywhere else in town, the Olde Shoe Factory is the place to go. This massive antique and retro shop is located downtown at 301 Forest Rose Avenue and has enough of a selection to blow the mind of any shopper.

The antique mall is most frequented by local collectors for its collection of retro toys, games, and home decorations, but of course, you can find lots more. We can attest that this is a great place to take the family; you might find some throwback memorabilia for yourself, while the kids can pick out some new toys that they won’t find in any ordinary game store!

3. The Smoke Stack Hobby Shop

If the other stores we’ve recommended still feel too “ordinary,” then we guarantee you haven’t checked out The Smoke Stack Hobby Shop yet! Right nearby at 342 Lincoln Avenue, you’ll find the largest store of its kind in Central Ohio. Prepare to be amazed!

If you’re looking for books, toys, art supplies, games, puzzles, electronics, or anything cool that buzzes or moves, this store will be a goldmine. Their selection is so extensive that no matter what your hobby might be, you’re bound to find something special here.

Lancaster has so many options to shop that it would be impossible to include all of them, so we’ve picked the best options for you, as we assume you care about the quality of what you buy. If that’s the case, you’re probably looking into a top-quality car as well. So, drive down to the Coughlin Kia of Lancaster to check out some of the best quality new cars on the market, like the 2023 Sportage Hybrid!
