So varied are the vendors in this 500,000 square foot, air conditioned facility that you may not need to go anywhere else for the rest of your trip. From clothing and footwear, to handbags and jewelry, to hair care products, sports equipment, even furniture, electronics and food, anything and everything is here. Recently added to the mall is the 30,000 square foot farmer’s market known as “Market Street.” Here shoppers will find over twenty vendors selling everything edible from fresh produce to sushi, rotisserie chicken, candy, and wine. For the young and the young at heart, the video arcade and game section known as Winners Arcade is a perfect way to pass the time. Featuring some of the most popular ticket-winning games and the best redemption prizes in Florida, the arcade is a wonderful opportunity to blow off some steam or get rejuvenated for another bout of shopping.
