South Floridians, if you're a fan of American Girl dolls, Bitty Baby, and Bitty Twins you'll be happy to know that there's a new store in town.
The Grand Opening for The American Girl store is October 6 and October 7. The new store is located at The Falls, 8888 S. W. 136th Street just off of US1. Store hours for the grand opening will be 9:00 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday.
Activities for opening day include paper doll crafts, balloons, face painting, free gifts and doll drawings. Assigned numbers will be given out prior to the store opening since they expect over 10,000 people to visit just this weekend. Fans will only be allowed to enter the store when their assigned group numbers have been called.
The new store will be equiped with all the American Girl dolls including their new historical character doll, Caroline Abbott.
You will also find other historical dolls such as Julie Albright, Ivy Ling, Kit Kittredge, Ruthie Smithens, Rebecca Rubin, Cecile Rey, Marie-Grace Gardner, Kaya, Josefina, Addy and Molly McIntire. Clothing, accessories, books and furniture are also available.
This year until the end of December you can find Girl of the Year, McKenna Brooks who loves practicing and performing her gymnastics. Her movie, books and accessories are available but remember just until the end of the year.
The American Girl store will be a great addition to Miami since there is a large community of fans. Girls of all ages will be able to enjoy purchasing a doll, gathering up their favorite accessories and even having lunch at their Bistro. You can bring your own doll and treat her to a day at the doll salon. Buy her a new outfit and give her a new hair do.
Reservations for dining can be made online and the menu includes appetizers, entrees, desserts and afternoon tea. Prices range from $4 to $15. Well worth the price for an afternoon with your little girl and her doll. These are memories that will last a lifetime.
