Markets

Penrith New Square shopping centre has a 55,000 square foot food store, shops to rent, free parking for 3 hours and housing.

Sunday trading restricts certain large shops from opening for sale to a maximum of 6 hours between 10am and 6pm.

The Eden economy tends to specialise in consumer services, due to the importance of the tourism industry in the area.
