A variety of stores are available in the local area for your
shopping pleasure. Sumter also houses Sumter Mall with Belk, JC
Penney, Sears and a variety of specialty shops. If you are looking
for more than Sumter has to offer, there is plenty of shopping in the
Columbia area including 6 major shopping malls!
There are too many dining
opportunities in and around Sumter to list here, but diners can choose from
nearly 40 locally-owned restaurants serving everything from down-home southern
barbecue to ethnic goods from places across the world, to more sophisticated
dining fare.
One example: Situated on the banks of an old mill
pond, the aptly-named Boykin's at the Mill Pond Restaurant takes visitors by
complete surprise with its homey outward appearance, concealing a ritzy
restaurant serving dishes like rack of lamb, blackened rib eye steak, and
broiled swordfish.
Of course, in addition to our locally
owned restaurants, visitors and residents can dine at all of their favorite fast
food and chain "sit-down" restaurants including Ruby Tuesday, Red Lobster, Casa
Grande Mexican Restaurant, Redbone Alley, The Outback Steakhouse, and more.
