It had received that nickname in the late 1880's. some local workers had spit tomato seeds on the ground. Tomato plants grew and flourished throughout the winter. The workers nicknamed the area Winter Garden.

The Best Shopping in Winter Garden Fl
You would have to start off this list with the Winter Garden Village. I end up there all of the time. If you are lake a lot of families you will have pizza occasionally. If you do I recommend the Uno Pizza in the WGV. You can still go there to eat also. They have a curbside pickup for when you order. There is also Lowes, Super Target LA Fitness and probably everything you will ever need.
Next up will be Stoneybrook West Village. For those living to the Southwest a few minutes this is a great place to shop for groceries at Publix or grab a bite. There is also childcare there etc. It is not anywhere as large as Winter Garden Village but it is great for locals or passer-bys.
I would be remiss if I did not mention that there is a mall in Ocoee. Ocoee borders Winter Garden and many Winter Garden residents end up visiting this mall. It is called the West Oaks Mall. Their website stinks so I just linked to the stores there. I have never been in this mall. I would go the the movie theater there it just is not the most convenient place for me to drive to.
Lakeside Village is a shopping complex in Southern Winter Garden. It is small but has a lot of what you would need there. Restaurants, hair salon, pet stores , immediate care center a gas station and more.
Very soon there will be many new options in Southwestern Winter Garden Florida. There is currently a massive movie theater, Publix and much more being built. All part of the Horizons West project you may have hear about. There already is a Walmart Super Center there and I am sure they were thrilled to see all of the competition moving in.
One of the many great things about Winter Garden is the 429 or the Daniel Webster will get you around Orlando etc very quickly. No matter where you see homes for sale in Winter Garden Fl shopping is nearby. So Let's jump on it and go to the best shopping nearby.
The Orlando Premium Outlets Mall is 20-25 minutes away from the 429 on ramp by Stoneybrook West Golf Club. This outlet is probably the most popular in all of Orlando. If you like outlet stores you should definitely visit it. It is easy to get to and the Mall is only about 1 mile from Universal Resort. There is a great selection of store there as you would expect for a large city mall.
Next up Would be the Mall at Millenia. The Mall at Millenia is a high end retail Mall. It is not that large but it is very nice and filled with places to spend lots of money. People refer to it as upscale shopping in articles about Orlando. I'm a middle aged man I do not hang out at malls but this one is nice and I have been to it. The link will take you to a video walkthrough of the mall that I made for this site. Drive time 20-25 minutes.
Finally we have the Florida Mall.The Florida Mall is the most popular mall in Orlando. It does have some really neat stores in it such as Crayola, M&M store and of course a Disney store. Just in case you have visited Disney and just can not get enough of it.Once again the link goes to a Florida Mall Page with a video of the mall. The Video is of the Mall on a slow day as soon as it opened for exercise. I did not want to put up with a crowd. It is normally much more crowded. A large mall should be. There is ample security there both in the parking lot and walking around in the mall. Drive time 20-25 minutes.
Bass Pro Shops. It's only fair. Yes there is a Bass Pro Shop here in the area. It is a huge one as you would expect for central Florida and Orlando. You can be there in 20-30 minutes if you time it right. However plan on 30 minutes plus. Especially until you learn the area and the short cuts. I actually do not have a transponder for the turnpike. All of my driving is through the rural areas and cities. Once you get used to Windermere and Winter Garden you will see why. The drives are all closer than you expect and if you time them right they are really nice.
