The Peninsula is host to many chain department and discount
stores, including Wal-Mart in Hampton, Newport News and Gloucester
County. For families desiring low-prices, bulk-item goods, they can
join members-only outlets such as Sam's club and the Price
Club. Individual stores provide everything from upscale china and
gifts to arts and crafts and unique clothing. For individuals who
enjoy the challenge in finding treasures in castoffs, periodic flea markets are
a delight. Open-air markets and indoor sales feature countless items
such as household goods, clothing, furniture, and recreational
items. Even the Hampton Coliseum features a Big Flea Market each
year.
