Shopping Areas

Each of the larger communities has its own shopping district. Some of these
have attracted malls, and some not.
Okanagan
Vernon's 32nd Street (Highway 97)
This area, especially along the 30th Ave cross-street, has most of Vernon's
stores, restaurants and malls.
Kelowna's Bernard St
This quaint little street with plenty of parking has a shopping district that
extends from the waterfront along Abbott Street for several blocks. The
shopping district is recognized by its wide street and diagonal parking. It has
that "small town" feel and has a mix of stores and services that every local
(and visitor) would expect.
Penticton's Main Street
This street stretches beteen Okanagan Lake and Skaha Lake. At the northern end where it
divides into two one-way streets, there are small shops and boutiques
clustered together for pedestrian shopping. In the middle, south of the
Penticton Museum, it becomes a cluster of Penticton's malls.
Shuswap/Trans-Canada Highway
Revelstoke's Main Street
This town has a small population, and much of its shopping traffic is from
vistors to the area. The town has been renovated back to its turn-of-the-
century look, from the early railroad days. The Main Street, with its views of
the surrounding (but not too near) mountains has many charming
shops and services.
