20 Lounge

20Lounge.com | Village at La Floresta

From 20 Lounge:

  • Back in 2009, Owner Valerie Griggs was running an internationally-recognized interior design business and raising a daughter: two full time jobs that left very little time for relaxing. But, she always made time for a manicure and pedicure, and that hour of relaxation left her feeling refreshed... and with beautiful nails, to boot! Valerie sought to combine great service with elements of a boutique. Add a refreshment and entertainment, and 20 Lounge was born.
  • It's simple. You want and deserve affordable luxury, so we focus on delivering 5-star service in a luxurious environment. 20 Lounge is a multi-service nail bar offering a range of treatments for the nails, face, body, and skin. When you try us, you'll see why our Loyal Loungers membership program is our most popular option.
  • Step foot into one of our stores to share in the 20 experience. Our highly-trained, licensed technicians provide everything from the latest in nail art trends to the classic go-to services, focusing and educating on nail health. All services come with complimentary beverages, and music video entertainment that simply rocks. So sit back, relax, and let 20 take care of you. Take home the spa experience and capture a bit of the 20 essence with our retail loot, hand-selected to meet our standards for affordable luxury.

 

Floyd's Barber Shop

FloydsBarberShop.com | Village at La Floresta

From Floyd's Barbershop:

  • At Floyd's 99, our approach is to keep services simple, providing quality cuts, shaves, and styles to the masses with our accessible pricing model. With cuts starting at $21 and color at $45, our brand delivers a rockin’ haircut at a value price. To top it all off, every client’s experience is complete with our signature shoulder massage.
  • Walk-in service is the norm, but clients can also call ahead to be put on a wait list (just like in restaurants), or call anytime on the day they’d like to come in and make a reservation with their favorite stylist or barber. Appointments are recommended, though, for those wanting face and head shaves and coloring services. Clients can even check out individual stylist and barber schedules on our website.
  • Floyd's 99 Barbershop most importantly represents great business in practice. Consistently our shops win Best Barbershop awards in nearly every one of our markets. Visit us to see why!

 

Hudson & Fouquet Salon

HudsonFouquet.com | Village at Lee Airpark

From Hudson & Fouquet:

  • Hudson & Fouquet Salon, voted Best of Annapolis for the past 7 years and Best of Baltimore, offers a menu of upscale treatments and products for hair, as well as customized services to meet our customers’ unique needs.

Moon & Lola

MoonAndLola.com | Cameron Village

From Shop Talk:

  • Cameron Village has scored another retail coup—the newest location of Moon and Lola, one of the nation's leading fashion and jewelry accessories lines.
  • The company is owned by Kelly Shatat, a creative young woman who left a career as a pharmacist just a few short years ago when her avocation became her living dream.
  • The space will be upfitted to the Moon and Lola aesthetic, sure to include plenty of the signature bright pink color.
  • "Moon and Lola is an exciting addition to Cameron Village. We pride ourselves on supporting local North Carolina businesses and they are the perfect addition to our retail mix," said Lynne Worth, Vice President of Retail Leasing and Property Management (York Properties).

 

Sokai Sushi

SokaiSushi.com | Fountain Square

From Sokai Sushi:

  • Chef Carlos Adarmes came to the United States in 1999 to work as a chef with the Great Enamoto Fusao in Sushi Chef Restaurant; this is where he learned to master the Japanese techniques he is well-known for today and presented on every dish at Sokai Sushi Bar. He worked by his side up until 2006 when he became a chef at the world renowned Nobu in Miami.
  • Opened in 2013, Sokai Sushi Bar is a casual fine dining restaurant, offering eclectic Japanese and Peruvian cuisine and warm hospitality in the heart of Miami. A high, open vault ceiling, exposed brick and concrete floors display the original space, while an open sushi bar, banquette seating and gentle lighting contributes to an intimate and contemporary feel.
  • We specialize in original fusions, allowing the customer to select from an ever evolving menu and long-time favorites sourced from top quality seasonal ingredients. Our restaurant prides in differentiating from traditional Japanese and Peruvian cuisine to creative flavors that enhance your palate at every bite.
  • Inspired by great artisanal foods of the world. We craft all of our stocks, sauces, entrees, and pastries from scratch on a daily basis. We also strive to support local producers when purchasing wine, produce, seafood and many other ingredients.

 

Homegrown Sustainable Sandwich Shop

EatHomeGrown.com | Sammamish Highlands

From Senior Leasing Agent, Kalin Berger:

  • They leased our very last space at recently-redeveloped Sammamish Highlands: a highly visible, yet undersized, long-vacant end cap formerly occupied by Quizno’s. They will complement our already-strong tenant mix, and help set the tone for future tenant merchandising at the center.
  • The concept is local to Seattle, founded by two college friends. They currently have eight locations, ranging from marquis urban locations like Fremont and Capitol Hill, to affluent suburbs like Mercer Island and Kirkland. I have visited a number of their stores, and found them to be well built and nicely presented, with attention to execution and product quality.
  • Their mission focuses on responsibly-sourced organic, local ingredients (many from their own farm) and environmentally-friendly business practices, e.g. the “slow food” movement. They present their product in a convenient, succinct format, with a limited but high-quality menu.
  • I would have no reservations putting them in other A-quality centers, and recommending them to counterparts in other regions as Homegrown expands to other markets.
