Why Live in Rolla? Shopping!
When looking for the right place to call home, there's always a number of questions you find yourself asking. What are the school ratings? How are the neighborhoods? How will you resume your normal habits and hobbies in a new environment? Where will you live? All of these are excellent questions to be asking yourself. We understand that all of these things are vital concerns when discovering a new to you hometown. So, we at The Lodges at Rolla decided to share with you some of the many perks of Rolla living in a series of blogs called 'Why Live in Rolla'. This week, we're talking SHOPPING!!!
Outside of the Big Box Stores

From the unusual to the sublime; clothing to knickknacks; name brands to local crafts - you can find almost anything you are looking for or perhaps something you aren’t! You’ll be tempted by countless opportunities to bring a piece of Rolla home with you. But you can visit those big box stores just about anywhere, right? Good thing Rolla offers so much more!
