Here’s a rundown to catch up:
Broward-based Jamaican restaurant expands into neighboring town. What’s on menu?
Peppa Seed Jamaican Restaurant recently opened its second location in nearby Pembroke Pines, bringing the same island staples as its Lauderhill flagship. Expect classics such as oxtail, jerk chicken/pork, curries, rice and peas, plus rotating desserts from an in-house pastry chef (and they also cater large parties).
Upscale home goods store to replace Hollister at Pembroke Gardens. What we know
Williams Sonoma is set to take over the former Hollister space at Pembroke Gardens, with an opening planned for the fall and hiring already underway. The news is getting mixed reactions online — some see it as a big upgrade, others wonder if the plaza is adding too many similar home/furniture retailers.
Furniture stores to replace Barnes & Noble at Pembroke Gardens. Reaction is mixed
Pottery Barn and West Elm are moving into the former Barnes & Noble space at Pembroke Gardens and are also expected to open in the fall. While some shoppers are excited to have these brands nearby, many still feel the loss of the longtime bookstore and wish the space had gone to something more family- or community-focused.
