When you shop in Princeton you might want to leave time for conversations. Store keepers in Princeton are quite chatty and are ready to talk about the weather and the latest local news over and over again it seems.

Suggestions for an Away Day

We have a variety of novelty shops where you can buy custom, hand-made furniture, local art, craft supplies, collectables and health foods. Get away for a day and have lunch, tour our fabulous museum, do some novelty shopping and take in the sights and hospitality of a warm, country town – all on one street.

Retail and Service Amenities

Princeton is the retail and service centre for the Upper Similkameen Valley. We can meet most of your shopping needs. If you can’t find what you are looking for, ask the storekeepers. If they don’t have it, then they will tell where you can get it. Oh, and probably make a comment on the weather while doing so.
