2 Best Places to Shop in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island

Background Illustration for Shopping

The most interesting shops in Charlottetown are on Peake's Wharf, in Confederation Court Mall (off Queen Street), along Victoria Row (the section of Richmond Street between Queen and Great George streets), and on Water Street. There are also factory outlet stores along the Trans-Canada Highway at North River Causeway near the western entrance to the city, next to Cows Creamery, and the Charlottetown Mall, on the outskirts just north of the university.

Anne of Green Gables Chocolates

This local chocolatier sells old-fashioned chocolates, peanut brittle, and assorted candy—all made on the premises. (For a double dose of local flavor, try chocolate-coated PEI potato chips.) Sweet treats for those who can't get enough of the Island's sweetest fictional orphan are available at this location year-round. Other outlets, open seasonally, are at Cows Creamery, in Avonlea Village, at Gateway Village in Borden-Carleton, and on the Cavendish Boardwalk.
