We are proud to be a part of such a vibrant, unique community that is evolving every day. Worcester is full of creative small businesses, bustling restaurants and lively events.

As the second largest city in New England, Worcester holds rich history and is home to thousands of college students. This demographic has spurred a recent revitalization in the city and created numerous opportunities for entrepreneurs. Situated a short 50 miles from Boston and 40 miles from Providence, Worcester's centralized location has also drawn residents and tourists alike. As The New York Times so eloquently put, the city of Worcester now 'looks the part' and has lived up to it's potential.

In an effort to spread the #ShopWOO love Crompton works closely with The Canal District and Discover Central MA.  Whether you are planning a day trip to Worcester, want to open a business here or simply looking to visit Crompton Collective, these are some of our staff approved shopping and dining locations. 

The Canal District is a great place to spend the day. We suggest using Uber, Lyft or Woo Rides if you are local and the Commuter Rail if you are the Boston Area.
