Shop local: 7 independent Hilliard shops you’ll love

Shopping local has become more important than ever, so it’s a comfort knowing that when you live at The Pointe - Hilliard Apartments, you have access to a variety of local, independent shops within a few miles of home. And according to Indiebound.org, when you shop local: 


  • More of your money is reinvested back into your community.

  • Less packaging and transportation reduces your carbon footprint.

  • Local retailers are your friends and neighbors who provide their support in return.
