Shopping in Lexington, KY: Horse Capital of the World

From Local Goods to Name Brands

Over the last couple of decades, Lexington has grown from a handful of quaint boutiques to become a serious shopping destination. We’ve added large-scale shopping centers such as Hamburg Pavilion and the Summit at Fritz Farm—not to mention Fayette Mall, the largest mall in the state of Kentucky. Today, Lexington is home to major retailers, local boutiques and neighborhood public markets like Julietta Market, all offering a different kind of shopping experience for every kind of style and every kind of budget.
