Ballina has 2 shopping areas. One is the main street, called River Street and the side streets around it, such as Tamar Street, which runs paralell to River Street. The other location is at the end of Kerr Stret, where there is Ballina Fair on one side of the road and Ballina Central on the other. There is a fairly good cross section of shops between the 2 shopping centers, as well as Coles, Woolworths, K Mart and Big W. There are also Red Rooster, KFC and Hungry Jacks fast food outlets in the area
There are also smaller shopping centres at East and West Ballina however these are only of interest to anybody who would be staying nearby, being mainly groceries and other services.
