BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 Wow, it's finally happening. We first heard about this years ago when we were dining at Johnnie's Hideaway in Crossroads - one of our favorite off-property spots. They told us that at some point they were going to have to move but didn't know when. Hopefully they're able to find a new location nearby. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The pandemic has sped up some of the closures within the Crossroads Plaza, with Gooding’s, Sweet Tomatoes, and other businesses permanently closing last year. Others are moving to new locations nearby. Just east of the 535 interchange is Daryl Carter Parkway, currently only a bridge over I-4, but it will see a full interchange built in the coming years. This is the new overpass from Palm Parkway across I-4 over to the outlet mall. That’s where O-Town West is located. Previously envisioned as a luxury development with Vegas-style amenities, the development has been downgraded into a mix of smaller developments with a large strip mall and surface parking lot at its core. Many of the former tenants of Crossroads will open new locations in O-Town West. A small section of O-Town West called The Crossings will be home to Wendy’s, Tijuana Flats, World of Beer, BurgerFi, Dunkin and other dining options. Across Palm Parkway in The Village section of the complex will be Jeremiah’s Italian Ice, Taco Bell, Flipper’s Pizza, Vitality Bowls, Wawa, Portillo’s and the world’s largest White Castle. The Town Center section that fronts Apopka-Vineland Road will house a new McDonald’s, Publix, Planet Smoothies, Mooyah, Cold Stone, Gator’s Dockside and other strip mall retailers. A Zen Hotel, two apartment complexes, a subdivision of 250 townhouses, a high school, and the Marriott Vacations headquarters will also be located in the development.

It will also not feature the visibility that made Crossroads so successful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
