When you’re visiting Loveland, browsing feels more like exploring, with big-name retailers, locally owned boutiques and festive touches that make scoring the perfect gifts part of the fun.
Shop Local, Support Downtown
Before you head to the big stores, start your holiday shopping downtown, where local business owners put care into every display and gift. Each purchase helps support small businesses and keep the area lively and welcoming.
If you’ve noticed construction downtown, that’s the Heart Improvement Plan (HIP Streets) in action. HIP Streets is a major revitalization project that’s enhancing the area with new utilities, walkable streetscapes and artistic touches. The work will make downtown even more vibrant and accessible for years to come.
During construction, all businesses remain open, and sidewalks are accessible for shoppers. Visitors can park along 5th Street, use nearby lots or park in the parking garage at The Foundry to access downtown boutiques and restaurants. By visiting and shopping local now, you’re helping these businesses thrive through the transition and building momentum for Loveland’s next chapter.
