As the commercial center of western New Castle County, Delaware, nearby Cecil County, Maryland, and southeastern Chester County, Pennsylvania, Newark offers a wide variety of distinctive stores and businesses that cater to every shopping need with NO SALES TAX. Newark retailers provide shoppers with the latest and finest merchandise and services. In addition, most Newark businesses are owner-operated ensuring personalized customer service and top-quality products. As a result, downtown Newark has a large and loyal customer base.

Newark also has an abundance of first-rate restaurants, offering menus diverse enough to please any palate and purse. A wide variety of take-out foods are also available throughout the city.

While you visit to browse or dine, take a moment and notice the architecture on the street. On Main Street you will find outstanding examples of commercial and residential styles, ranging from the late 18th century to the present. In fact, no two buildings on Main Street are alike.
