Peculiar is not packed with big box retail, and that is part of the point. The places that are here matter more because they pull people together.

Peculiar Games and Hobbies
Peculiar Games and Hobbies is half store and half social space. Card tournaments, roleplaying sessions, miniature painting and casual board game nights happen here on a regular basis. It gives people a place to be in person with others who like the same things instead of just sitting behind a screen.

Monte Burgess Farms – Farm Store & Country Cafe
Beyond food, Monte Burgess Farms doubles as a local source for farm products and seasonal items. It keeps a direct line between residents and the land around them, which is a big part of why Peculiar still feels like a town, not just a development.

Around them are trades, home based businesses, services and small operators who mostly grow by word of mouth. Highlight My Town pulls those names into view over time so residents can see just how much is already available close to home.
