The wait is (almost) over! 🛍️✨
I managed to catch a sneak peek of the gates open at Lake Nona West, and the vibes are already 10/10. This 54-acre lifestyle destination is officially kicking off its opening phases this May, and it’s going to be a total game-changer for the neighborhood.
While the massive 150,000 sq. ft. Target is the anchor we’re all watching, the full lineup is stacked with brands we’ve been craving. Check out what’s officially confirmed:
• Shopping: Nordstrom Rack, Barnes & Noble, Sephora, Homesense, and Dick’s Sporting Goods / Golf Galaxy.
• Dining: Cañonita (elevated Mexican), Just Salad, and Kilwins (for that post-shopping ice cream fix).
• Self-Care: Drybar, JETSET Pilates, and Gloss Nail Co.
• The Extras: Total Wine & More and a massive 20-stall Mercedes-Benz EV charging hub.
Beyond the stores, keep an eye out for the 30 new murals being painted across the site by Chalk & Brush—it’s going to be just as much an art walk as it is a shopping trip. 🎨
Who else is ready to spend their entire weekend here? Let me know which store you’re hitting first! 👇
