Shop
Kenilworth has a wide range of shops and businesses to serve the eager shopper.
The town has undergone a renaissance over the last few years with more work being done to bring more retailers and businesses into the heart of the town. Talisman Square has been (mostly) refurbished with a 200 space car park and a new Waitrose in the centre of the town. WH Smiths will open shortly and they join independent fashion retailers, sweetshops, home design, and other businesses who see Kenilworth as a thriving small town with a big future.
The shopping offer is well complimented by a range of bars, restaurants and coffee shops so Kenilworth is a place to linger as well as shop.

NEWS:
… and finally …
It is a common misconception among shoppers that when they buy from a market they “take a chance”, when in fact they have exactly the same protection as they would if they were shopping at a high street store or supermarket.
