Shopping in Historic Dublin

The Market at Serendip is an eclectic collection of original art, upscale handcrafts, some vintage furnishings, and unique gifts. We are looking for a new location that will give us increased traffic and community interest. My question is, do Dublin residents consider Historic Dublin a shopping destination? Even with the new Bri-Hi activity, is there enough traffic to support a shop like this? Opinions welcome!

Hey Deb....I was hoping someone else would give some perspective, because i'm obviously partial :).....But i think it would be a welcome addition to the district....as with anything retail, location is key....and carving out an outreach and awareness strategy prior to openning up is critical....especially with all the construction and economic adjustments happening.

We work real hard at promoting the district, and encouraging local and surrounding residents to come explore the unique shops, nice variety of dining and the expandind sweet tooth we seem to be developing! If you want to learn a little more about the district, itself, you can visit www.brihidistrict.org.

    Dublin history lesson

    Peter and Benjamin Sells came to the area around 1801 from Huntington County, Pa., to buy land. Old Dublin was first platted in 1810 by their brother, John. Surveyor John Shields named the town after his birthplace in Ireland. The town developed the usual assortment of mills, shops and churches, with settlers coexisting peacefully with Wyandot Indians, who camped on Indian Run. The town gained notoriety in the mid-19th century, when a surplus of taverns and rowdy Civil War veterans gave the village a tough reputation. Columbus' growth and the construction of I-270 made expansion inevitable. Dublin achieved city status in 1987.
