The Town of Farmville is the retail and service hub of the region, although an assortment of grocery stores, boutiques,
and specialty stores can be found in many of the smaller towns throughout the region. However, the largest cluster of
shops and stores can be found in Farmville, including over 700,000 square feet of furniture, carpet, and accessories
imported from around the world and sold by Green Front Furniture. Farmville also has two major grocery stores,
a WalMart SuperCenter, a Lowe’s Home Improvement Warehouse, a Sears Home Appliance store, a Belk Department Store,
numerous fast-food restaurants, two national chain restaurants, several locally owned restaurants, several national
chain retail stores and pharmacies, many locally owned retail shops, two dry cleaning establishments, several regional
and national banks, and a Barnes & Noble Bookstore with Starbucks Coffee Shop.
Many Farmer’s Markets and roadside stands, offering locally grown produce, can be found in the area during the
Spring, Summer, and Fall growing season. Pick-Your-Own farms for strawberries can be found in several locations, and
several of the counties have Christmas Tree Farms that offer “cut-your-own”. Grapes for wine are also
starting to take hold, and several wineries are located in the region.
