Shopping & Services The Killington Region of Vermont is a large geographical area. It encompasses approximately 30 towns. At the heart of the region is the state’s second largest city, and the world famous Killington Ski and Summer Resort. Rutland serves as the major shopping mecca for a population of approximately 150,000 people. Rutland has the Diamond Run Mall that features traditional anchor stores, boutiques and a food court, and two other malls at each end of the city, a vibrant historic downtown district, many with interesting architectural and historically important characteristics, plus a shopping plaza and many other locally-owned specialty shops. The downtown area offers street parking, as well as a multi modal transit facility with parking garage. Retail shops, restaurants and lounges as well as financial institutions and professional services line the principal streets. In the Killington area there are many specialty sports retailers and upscale shopping outlets, including a mini mall at the base of the Killington Road. Surrounding communities feature hundreds of country stores, gift shops, antique dealers, art and craft galleries, and other specialty retailers; a sampling are listed below. The pace here is unhurried and the fun of discovery makes shopping a pleasant diversion. Shopkeepers are friendly and helpful and always pleased to meet a new customer. Vermont is not about Neiman-Marcus, Tiffany’s or Sach’s 5th Avenue. It’s about a simpler and less expensive lifestyle. Luxury items for purchase here are more apt to be items of art or virtue produced by local artists and artisans. Vermont is home to some of the most famous people in the art world who live here for the very reasons you like to visit. Their works can be found for sale at many local retailers or at their home galleries. Although Vermont is not an ‘urban’ area, you can be confident that most major credit cards will be accepted no matter where you go.
