Market Square

Known as the “first artfully designed shopping center in the country” the Historic Market Square Hallmark shops showcase trending styles.

Since 1916, this artful collection of upscale shops has been trending among the North Shore’s finest circles. Reminiscent of a quaint European marketplace, Market Square is a signature of accomplishment. Quaint cafes serve grand gourmet. And hidden alleyways hold seasonal surprises. From fashions and food and gifts of grandeur to celebrations of art, music, and merriment, Market Square compliments

your tasteful life. Midway between Chicago and Milwaukee on Lake Michigan’s shore, Market Square is easily reached by car or public train. The Metra North Line station is directly across Western Avenue from Market Square, and there’s plenty of free public parking in and around Market Square.
