SUNRISE, FL (February 25, 2012) — Sawgrass Mills, the largest outlet and value retail shopping destination in the United States with more than 350 stores, will expand its international luxury brand offerings this spring with first-in-market outlet locations from Wolford and Ippolita. These high-fashion brands, along with Zinburger Wine & Burger Bar which will add another decadent dining option to the mix are part of the ongoing expansion of The Colonnade Outlets at Sawgrass Mills.
"The proven success of The Colonnade Outlets at Sawgrass Mills continues to attract more of the best brands in the industry as well as eager shoppers from around the globe," said Luanne Lenberg, VP/ General Manager at Sawgrass Mills. "With our third expansion since the opening of this luxury wing currently underway, we are adding even more market-exclusive stores, further solidifying Sawgrass Mills' longstanding reputation as one of the most popular shopping destinations in the world."
Headquartered in Austria, Wolford has been an internationally renowned retailer of high-end, fashion leg and body wear for decades. Opening its first-in-market outlet concept during early spring, this leading brand will soon offer shoppers a wide selection of sophisticated lingerie, as well as stockings, tights, bodysuits and swimwear at affordable prices.
The Colonnade Outlets at Sawgrass Mills will also soon be home to the first outlet location in the United States from the Italian retailer, Ippolita, one of the leading designer jewelry brands found in luxury department stores around the world. This new outlet concept will feature incredible prices on Ippolita's undeniably-feminine jewelry collections, including handcrafted rings, bangles, necklaces and earrings.
These market-exclusive stores will be part of the 40,000 square foot expansion of The Colonnade Outlets at Sawgrass Mills, which will include a dozen new luxury brand retailers located to the east of Villagio across from the existing retail structure. The ongoing expansion will also include the relocations of South Florida's only outlet locations from Gucci and Prada. These high caliber retailers will also be joined by first-in-market outlet locations from fashion legends, Diane Von Furstenberg and Robert Graham.
In addition to more name brand shopping, Sawgrass Mills will satisfy appetites with the opening of the first and only Zinburger Wine & Burger Bar in Florida. Taking over the space currently occupied by Prada, Zinburger will open during fall 2013, offering gourmet burgers, salads, sides, milkshakes and desserts, as well as a full bar with cocktails, 18 wines by the glass and 17 beer selections. This contemporary and stylish restaurant will complement the already popular dining options at The Colonnade Outlets at Sawgrass Mills, including Villagio, Grand Lux Café, P.F Chang's and Paul Maison De Qualite'.
