Malton shopping is a delight with so many fascinating small independent shops and quirky stores. To ensure a thriving local economy Malton retailers work hard to actively encourage its people and visitors, both from the Town and the surrounding areas to use its wide variety of shops, rather than visiting large out of town centres, or buying online.
