Shopping
While we have big box stores, Sumter has much more to offer with local business open for almost everything you need, from gifts to antiques to clothes.
Bultman Dr. offers a wide variety of shopping, with unique gifts at places such as The Olive Tree and Doolallies, Elephant Ear, Silverpaper, and even locally grown The Farm Store.
