Shopping in Cape Coral.

 Cape Coral’s population has grown by almost 50 percent in the past five years, and retail and dining options have grown along with it. Many of the national chains have opened locations in Cape Coral and the days “driving over the bridge” to find what you need are long gone.

    Whether you are driving along Pine Island Road, Del Prado Boulevard or Cape Coral Parkway, you won’t come up short for places to purchase clothing, collectibles and essentials or enjoy a meal. The Cape’s 114 square miles include a blend of chains and hometown businesses, with the roster increasing as more and more people discover the canal-latticed community.
