We are really lucky here in our Bangor region to have something for everyone when it comes to shopping, eating and lodging.
This is great for a few reasons, one is different people like different styles of shopping. If you like Mall Style shopping, we have a large mall area with over seventy stores as well as manyothers located around the property. We have several discount stores, added to the mix in recent years on Union Street and Broadway in Bangor, as well as Wilson Street in Brewer for great buys on familiar items- and who doesn’t need to save money?
For those that enjoy more intimate shopping, like a "downtown" style we have several wonderful downtowns like, Bangor, Brewer, and Hampden where you have a more boutique style experience, easy parking and great restaurants that are not franchises but locally owned where the owner is often "in the store" or better yet, "behind the bar" or "in the kitchen." Unique Irish food or old fashioned pub grub, or if you are in the mood for some Caribbean flair, it is all downtown! All are family friendly with plenty of booster seats!
As a local tradition, for several Saturdays in downtown Bangor, we have had Mr. and Mrs. Claus located on Main Street for photos with the kids, as well as a "Festival of Lights" parade on December 5th, complete with light snow and lots of hot chocolate!
Our region really is great for people traveling in groups that may enjoy different experiences. Hardcore shoppers may drop the "amateurs" at a movie theatre, live theatre, museum or restaurant while they do their work! Everyone has a great time and nobody feels abandoned!
Put our Bangor region on your list of great places to visit to shop, eat and stay, we have something for everyone!
