Free People Winter Park Village

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WINTER PARK, FL – June 5, 2023 – Summer has arrived in Winter Park, and anticipation is building for the reimagined Winter Park Village, located at 510 North Orlando Avenue.

CASTO has thoughtfully curated a novel mix of coveted luxury brands and intimate boutiques to provide an unparalleled retail experience at Winter Park Village. A unique and diverse collection of retailers, culinary vanguards and entertainment will debut soon and entice patrons to linger longer.

A Resurgence in Shopping In-Person

As part of that redevelopment, CASTO is cultivating a collection of many novel brands, some of which are first-in-market concepts and experiences, into the revisioned destination. According to a recent Forbes article, in-person shopping in the post-pandemic era has become an increasingly desirable way to spark joy or add value. As a result, leading retailers are integrating online and offline shopping into a unified experience. Besides the human connection of shopping in-person, there is the added benefit of immersive, sensory experiences that allow consumers to try before they buy. One example of this will be the new Tommy Bahama Marlin Bar, a restaurant and bar alongside a retail store where guests can eat, drink and shop.

Considering this renewed popularity of in-person shopping, combined with the attractive lifestyle demographic of Winter Park, it’s not surprising that CASTO is announcing the arrival of more A-list retailers this year, including three of today’s hottest national brands—Free People™, Kendra Scott™, and SkinCeuticals®—opening this summer.

“We’re proud of the momentum we’ve been able to achieve in attracting a collection of highly sought after retailers and restaurants to Winter Park Village,” said Brett Hutchens, president of CASTO Southeast. “It’s exciting to see our vision for the redesigned Winter Park Village as being part place, part feeling, come to life. We believe the combination of top-tier national brands anchoring the collection coupled with unique, locally-owned boutiques and immersive experiences will create a shopping and dining destination unlike any other in Central Florida.”
