A diverse mixture of quaint shops, antique and collectible markets, major department stores and a long list of appetizing restaurants make Germantown a premier site for shopping and dining excursions.

The “Old World” feel to Germantown’s Main Street district makes it quite unique, with much of the area displaying the traditional German fachwerk architecture. Main Street, featuring the new Markt Platz, is lined with charming boutiques and delicious dining establishments in a distinct European environment.
Every Saturday from June to October, shoppers can peruse the high-quality homegrown produce and various items at the local Farmer’s Market, which is located at The Livery. Fruits, vegetables, dairy items, breads, flowers and a variety of handmade works can all be found at this popular Germantown event.
If you are looking for national store chains, west on County Line Road and north on Appleton Avenue is the corridor for you. You will find a wide range of choices within a relatively compact area.

The more adventurous shopper will be rewarded for their pursuits in locating our local merchants along Mequon Road and Main Street who offer their unique merchandise such as baked goods, specialty treats, homemade sausage and fresh meats, jewelry, German Christmas ornaments, German and European collectibles, antiques, flowers and plants, bridal gowns, kitchen and bath fixtures, counters, floors, electronics and more.
Germantown is also home to many professional service providers, including accountants, attorneys, automotive services, business coaching, home and commercial builders, investment advisors, insurance agents, massage therapy, pain management, music lessons, realtors, salons, shipping, printing and copying services, advertising and marketing and banking.
A day of shopping can certainly work up an appetite. Not to worry, since Germantown is chock-full of eclectic eateries to satisfy just about any palate. The community is within a 20-minute drive of more than 50 restaurants and pubs, serving up everything from well-known American fare to ethnic favorites such as Italian, Chinese, Mexican and, of course, traditional German dishes. Choose from casual atmospheres to fine dining establishments, or grab a cup of coffee at an area coffeehouse.
