What to do and see in Saint Louis, Missouri (MO): The Best Shopping
The history of St. Louis has been heavily influenced by Westward expansion and blues music. The big "must-see" in this region is the Gateway Arch, while other important sites include the Museum of Westward Expansion, the St. Louis Cathedral and the Anheuser-Busch factory tour. The city offers plenty for the whole family. Children will enjoy the local zoo and the Magic House, while family members will also want to unwind at Forest Park, home to the World's Fair almost a century ago.

Ken and his team do a great job of running this place. I stop here EVERY time I am in STL. Great variety of soaps and bath products, made in the shop. Even if you are not a soap person their factory tour ( which is understandably on hold during the pandemic) is fun and educational. The still do their scavenger hunt for kids.

We come here year round to buy spices because my husband loves to cook and grill. They have a variety of spices, coffee, and teas. Also have Cajun food accessories such as dirty rice, gumbo, etc. They also have a meat market, deli, fruits and vegetables, honey, jellies and jams, homemade breads and rolls and desserts. You can also eat and drink and be merry and enjoy the live musicians. My one wish is that they're open on Sundays but after seeing how busy they are on Saturdays, they need Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday to rest!!!

I shop at Di Gregorio's to stock up on deli items, frozen pasta, sauces and some great pantry items. It's always tasty. I'm reviewing because I recently sent DiGregorio's medium-sized Italian Dinner gift baskets to three out-of-town relatives, and they loved them. So nice to be able to send a little love from St. Louis in these difficult times, and my relatives said the pasta sauce, pastas and wine made for festive dinners. Thanks, Di Gregorio's, I will order these baskets again.

This is a beautiful, clean mall just off highway 270 near Des Peres. My college freshman daughter and I really enjoyed our shopping experience there. It seems to stay busy. There are a variety of shops with something for everyone. Nice food court area as well. With malls dying all over the United States, I hope this one manages to keep its clientele and stays busy and sustainable.
