World Market

Tony and I had a few errands to run today. First, I went to sign the deposit contract for our pre-construction townhouse at Montclair in Miramar! Then we went to buy some turtle supplies at Petsmart in Pembroke Pines. That was when we noticed a new store next door and decided to check it out.

World Market
11960 Pines Boulevard Pembroke Pines, FL 33026

According to their website there are only five of these stores in Florida, and this one in Pembroke Pines is the only one in south Florida. Tony and I wanted to check it out for a few minutes and we ended up browsing and buying for the better part of an hour. Their furniture is very Pier1esque; however, their selection is not as broad. What this store gets props for is their pretty heavy line of imported foods and beverages. We bought some Hawaiian chips, canned Salmon pate, an English chocolate bar, another imported chocolate bar, and some cool garlic stuffed olives. Their selection of foods is fun and whimsical, like the Pez candies they have on stock, or the 3 liter extra virgin olive oil jug. Also, on hand is a huge selection of teas, coffees, and imported wines organized by country.

This is a really cool store that both of us hope is still around when we finally move into our house. We'd love to decorate it with items from this store, and fill our plates with the fun food selection.
