PANAMA CITY BEACH
Simon Property
Group’s updated list of
new Pier Park stores is
heavy on national
clothing and accessory
retailers, as the
Indianapolis-based real
estate announced its
latest additions
Thursday to the 93-acre
Panama City Beach
development.
Ann Taylor Loft,
Chico’s, Jos A. Bank,
Lane Bryant, New York
and Company, Victoria’s
Secret, and Bath and
Body Works were among
the list of coming Pier
Park stores announced
Thursday.
Also on Simon’s list
were The Walking
Company, Sun Sights by
Solstice, Lids and
Journeys.
Simon spokesman Les
Morris said the
retailers were typical
stores someone would see
at their local mall.
“They’ll be ready
for the grand opening
next spring,” Morris
said of the stores
announced Thursday.
New York City-based
Ann Taylor Loft has 10
Florida stores, while
Chico’s has 958 women’s
specialty apparel stores
nationwide. New York and
Company is a nationally
known women’s clothing
store. A men’s apparel
store, Jos. A. Bank has
350 stores nationwide.
Morris said the
stores would be spread
throughout the Pier Park
development.
Thursday’s
announcement comes on
the heels of Simon’s
late July unveiling of
more than 20 new stores
and restaurants that had
been added to Pier Park.
Anchor stores such
as JC Penney, Dillard’s
and Old Navy also have
announced they will join
the already open Target
at the development.
Simon likely will
make another Pier
Park-related
announcement later in
the month, Morris said. |
