Shopping & Dining
Something for Everyone

You can learn a lot about a community from its friendly shop and restaurant owners.

The Town of Essex is no exception.

We are fortunate to have two distinct downtowns – one in Essex Centre and one in Harrow Centre – with many local treasures within easy driving distance of each.

Over 250 shops and services can be found throughout the municipality. We hope you enjoy our small town charm and relaxed
shopping and dining environment.
