The downtown area of Napanee has experienced a recent revival ( "A Changing Landscape" ) and is home to a number of boutiques such October's Clothing, Starlet and Serendipity Studio. Nearby are Len's Bakery, John's Restaurant, Louie's Restaurant and The Loaf N Ale. A gourmet coffee shop, Coffee Cravings, sits on the corner of Dundas St E. and John St.
Giant Tiger can be found at the corner of Industrial Boulevard and Centre Street North, in the uptown core. The store features a 200-foot mural by Pierre Hardy. The community also includes a Walmart, a Canadian Tire, and a Home Hardware. A No Frills grocery store is located in the Napanee Mall, and there is a Metro grocery store, (formerly the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company, known as the A&P), down the road from the Napanee Mall.
On the east end of town at the Palace Road exit of Highway 401 is the newly constructed 'Palace Village' that includes numerous small boutique and speciality shops, as well as the Smiling Wilderness restaurant.
A Flying J gas station and truck stop is located off Highway 401 on Highway 41.
A well known favorite of tourists and locals alike is the Chip Truck in Springside Park that has been a "must visit" for over 20 years. In September 2010 the Chip Truck was asked to move from the park while renovations were done. It has recently relocated to the parking lot of Canadian Tire at the intersection of Centre Street and Jim Kimmet Boulevard.
Napanee is also the home of "La Pizzeria", made famous by Avril Lavigne's declaration to Rolling Stone Magazine that her "favorite pizza" was served there. Also as her favorite toppings green olives, mushrooms and pepperoni.

“Shopping seemed to take an entirely too important place in women’s lives. You never saw men milling around in men’s departments. They made quick work of it. I used to wonder if shopping was a form of escape for women who had no worthwhile interests.”
