The Loop

On our last visit to Florida we decided to try out a few of the other alternative shopping places to those we normally do such as the Florida Mall and the Millenium Mall etc, we had heard about The Loop as a new destination so one fine sunny day we set off from our home off the US27. We took the I4 eastbound and got off onto the 417 then shortly after that took the turn for John Young Parkway where we just followed the road around until we came across The Loop on our left hand side. There is a large variety of shops to suit every taste and budget for example there is a large Khols which a department like store with clothes, shoes and household items for everyone, for the bargain hunters among you there is a Ross Dress For Less where you can spend a good time browsing through the rails looking for exclusive designer bargain or as I do have a good look around all the household items I have purchased some great one offs a great prices and this is a good place to get some boxed gifts to keep in the closet for those unexpected xmas gifts you forgot for the managment etc ! !

A very nice Bed Bath & Beyond store has THE most beautiful goods for the house and they have some excellent gift ideas for different times of the year. One of my favourite stores is the Yankee Candle where its a pleasure just to walk into the store with the lovely smelling candles and oils etc, there is a huge amount of choice to suit everyones smell ( taste ! ! ! ! ) or pocket and they have good sales on at various times of the year to get the real bargains.

There is a Micheals craft store with loads of ideas for making your home individual, an Old Navy store plus and American Eagle outfitters for those of you such as me with teenages in the family ! ! ! lots more different stores and of course a cinema complex to boot this will keep you occupied for hours but one of the best things we found about the Loop is the array of eateries, we love Panera Bread for delicious suops and sandwiches for lunch but of course you may be there in the evening so I can highly reccomend the Maccaroni Grill for that something special, the restaurants are generally quieter than those around and off the 192 so its nice to lots of different things all in a short space.

Try it, its worth it.
