Shopping in Duluth

Thousands of plants populate the cheery purple farmhouse and grounds at Randy’s Perennials & Water Gardens, where resident garden masters greet customer questions with horticultural knowledge derived from two decades in business. Display ponds and gardens spark landscaping inspiration, and staffers answer any gardening questions thrown their way and provide advice on purchasing from the selection of water-gardening accessories. A selection of vegetables such as tomatoes and peppers are tasty and vibrant, while rosemary, thyme, and lavender herbs cheerfully sprout in front or back yards.

Fleet Feet Sports helps promote an active, healthy community by outfitting people of all fitness levels with the proper apparel and footwear. At three different locations, the staff maintains a one-on-one connection with customers, particularly during the Fit Process—an extensive, multistep fitting formula that incorporates multiple measurements and a gait analysis so shoes, socks, and inserts jive comfortably with every foot. To ensure clients are swift enough to compete in marathons or outrun even the fastest repo man, Fleet Feet Sports also offers marathon training and free workouts every Thursday at its Sandy Springs store.
