About Us

Let’s talk Shops.

The Shops at Farmington Valley is located on Route 44 in Canton, CT, just five minutes from Avon and Simsbury, The Shops at Farmington Valley is Hartford County’s premier open-air lifestyle destination. With over 45 shops, eateries, and wellness experiences set against a backdrop of rolling hills and valley views, it’s the kind of place where a grocery run turns into lunch with a friend, a style refresh, or an afternoon you didn’t plan but didn’t want to end.

This is a property in motion. Summer 2026 brings the Farmington Valley’s first Shake Shack, along with Ramen + Bao, Wonder, and more including CAVA coming soon, joining an already exceptional lineup that includes Mercato Italian Kitchen, Sweetgreen, Sur La Table, Sephora, FP Movement, Warby Parker, Blow Blo Dry Bar, J. Crew Factory, Barnes & Noble, Golf Lounge 18, and dozens of the brands and businesses this community counts on every day.

Free parking. Litchfield hill views. Open daily from 6am for a ShopRite run to a late dinner at Mercato. Walter’s Boundless Playground for the kids. Events year-round that bring the whole Valley together.

This is your everyday, elevated.
