Tamworth provides a quality and diverse selection of retail options for shoppers from throughout the region and beyond.
The city has three major shopping complexes, Shoppingworld, City Plaza and Centrepoint which feature major supermarkets such as Woolworths, Coles and Franklins along with a selection of nationally recognised specialty stores and national retailers such as Big W and Kmart.
Tamworth is shopping central for more people than those who live in the local government area - it is a regional hub for shoppers who come from up to 200km away.

Tamworth is about to see another inner city complex in the new East Point centre which will feature tenants such as Woolworths, Dan Murphy’s and Dick Smith Electronics.
Tamworth city also features another seven smaller shopping complexes and other supermarket operators, bulky goods and appliance and homewares national franchises. These include retailers like IGA, Good Guys, Bing Lee, Carpet Choice, Forty Winks, Harvey Norman, and plenty of boutique retailers and local independents and specialty stores.
Commercial and industrial development in the retail trade is a strong and growing aspect of the region’s considerable retail strength. Bunnings is about to build a brand new warehouse superstore, there’s a third McDonalds in town and new bulky goods shops are opening in a number of complexes.
The retail heart of the city is Peel Street – one of the best looking main streets you’ll ever see. A major beautification project a few years ago has turned it into a wonderful tree-lined avenue where cars share with people and it has become a boulevard of shopping and outdoor dining and pedestrian culture. Other major chains such as Colorado, Target, Best and Less, Adairs, Rivers and boutique fashion stores are located in the city centre.
