No matter from where you may be visiting from, one draw to Delaware is undeniable: it’s home to tax-free shopping.
As one of only five states in the United States that doesn’t levy a sales tax on shoppers, and the only state in the Mid-Atlantic, the First State has been drawing large numbers of out-of-state
and international buyers for decades. It has also led to the development of several high-end shopping destinations across the state to cater to those buyers.
Near Newark, the Christiana Mall is conveniently located off Interstate 95 and is home to a variety of brands like Nordstrom, Macy’s, American Eagle, Apple, Coach, Invicta, Levi’s, Michael Kors, North Face, Oakley, Swarovski, White House Black Market, Williams Sonoma, and Zales, among many more.
Surrounding the mall are a collection of high-quality restaurants, including The Cheesecake Factory, Nordstrom Grill, Brio, Tommy’s Tap and Tavern and Churrascaria Saudades Brazilian Steak- house, among others, ensuring that visitors can spend a full day at the Mall
If visiting Delaware’s coastal beaches, shoppers will surely want to check out the Tanger Outlets, which includes
dozens of name brands including Adidas, Boss, Brooks Brothers, Calvin Klein, Coach, Cole Haan, Columbia, Eddie Bauer, Kate Spade, Lane Bryant, Michael Kors, Movado, Nautica, Nike, Polo Ralph Lauren, Steve Madden, Tommy Hilfiger, Tory Burch, Under Armour and Vera Bradley, among many more. The outlet stores located right along Delaware Route 1 carry marked-down merchandise in many instances – which only makes Delaware’s tax-free status even more enticing.
