2 New Stores At Miromar Outlets In Estero Are Opening This Week

This is the most exciting news to come to Miromar Outlets in Estero since we announced the opening of Lululemon late last year. And, if these two stores draw the same types of crowds I've run into at the new Lululemon store, than these places are going to be packed.

We've learned that two new stores at Miromar Outlets will open their doors to shoppers this weekend in Estero and the shopping in Southwest Florida is about to get even better. It's hard to believe there's something missing at Miromar Outlets, it seems like they've got everything.

Both men and women alike have something to look forward to with the announcement of openings of Victoria’s Secret and Tommy Bahama at Miromar Outlets this weekend.

Victoria's Secret will open their doors on Friday, May 3rd. The new store will be located between other female favorites, J Crew and Kate Spade.

For those of you that don’t know Victoria’s Secret is a very well-known women’s intimate brand that also offers athleisurewear, sleepwear, swimwear, beauty products, including lip, scents, lotions, scrubs and more. My personal favorite is the VS line of PINK. Think bright colors, soft materials and comfort.

Tommy Bahama will open its doors on Saturday, May 4th. The new store will be located between Travis Matthew and Perry Ellis. Tommy Bahama is most known for their resort and island wear for both men and women. They also offer a beach and home line with towels, linens, barware and more, perfect for entertaining in Florida.

The openings of both stores come at the perfect time as we approach summer months and will be out and about finding vacation clothes, no doubt. While we do have both stores at Coconut Point, also in Estero, we should expect lower prices at these new outlet stores.

I cannot wait to go shopping this weekend. My husband will be thrilled. 😎

This isn't your grandma's movie house and it serves much more than buttered popcorn. I just got a sneak peek at the new Alamo Drafthouse Cinema In Naples and it's impressive. In addition, here is a quick video from the preview.

It's the  movie chain's first location in Florida and at over 30,000 square feet it is the largest one.  Opening date is Monday, April 29th. However, I got to join a group of media folks for a look inside and a movie screening.

Alamo Drafthouse has 40 locations around the U.S.  Naples makes 41. Each one has a different theme but all are commited to film, food and fun.

The theater in Collier County has 11 screening rooms. Not only do they show all of the new movies but also many of the classics. They also have theme days, weeks and months with curated movies and coordinated events.

It's a cinema for movie lovers developed by movies lovers and they have thought about nearly every detail.

One of the things I think most movie goers can appreciate is the theater's "No Talking/No Texting" policy. Violate it once and you will be warned. Violate it again and you will be asked to leave. Thank  you.

The sound is impeccble. The seats are luxurious recliners and there 650 of them. They are specially fitted to safely hold your food and drinks. No more juggling in those small seats.

The ordering system is fast and efficient and continuous throughout the movie. No longer do you have to attempt to time a trip to the lobby for more popcorn. By the way, it is bottomless. So are the soda's. The cinema is about the entire experience, not just the movie.

There is a lobby bar and they deliver to your seat. Enjoy craft cocktails, a good selection of bourbons and whiskeys, draft beer and premium wines.

Then there is the food. Sure you can get the traditional buttered popcorn. Or you can get Truffle Herb Parmesan or sweet and salty Churro Popcorn. The menu features mostly from scratch items like pizzas, burgers, salads and more.

There is more to do than watch movies. Enjoy nine holes of movie-themed miniature golf in the lobby and terrace. Each hole has a movie theme. However, the inspiration comes from the movie "Happy Gilmore" with Adam Sandler.

You are encouraged to put with a hockey stick on the last hole. If you know, you know.

Putt as early as 30 minutes before the first movie screening of the day. You can stay until curtain goes up on the last movie of the day.

Alamo Drafthouse takes over the space formerly held by Silverspot at Mercato in North Naples. They have lots of grand opening specials and deals on monthly passes so be sure to check it out. Welcome to the neighborhood.
