Uxbridge is becoming the familiar suburban blend of older, boutique-style stores in the traditional downtown, with larger, big-box type stores located on the periphery.
Near the downtown core, you will find small businesses such as Blue Heron books, Rutledge Jewellers, SugarFX candy and AudioVision electronics.
On Hwy 47, you will find a Zehr's supermarket which also sells electronics, books, housewares and clothing. Next door are both a recently renovated and expanded Canadian Tire franchise, and a medium-sized iteration of WalMart.
Other chain stores you will find in Uxbridge include: Sears, Blockbuster, M&M Meat Shops, Mark's Work Wearhouse, Coles bookstore, Hallmark gift shop, Home Hardware, Rona Hardware, Global Pet Foods, PetValu pet foods, Dollarama, Staples/Business Depot.
