Their furniture is a tad pricey but nice to look at and we really enjoyed browsing CB on a random Saturday. Maybe they'll build one by the time phase 10 rolls around (I'll take the Container Store too while they're at it)....
I do the Elfa sale at the Container Store on line once in a while - but it usually doesn't pay to ship a $2.49 item . Another fun store I wouldn't mind seeing here. FWIW - some of those really cheap things can be found on Amazon as "add-on" items (if you add them to other orders - you get free shipping). Robyn

It still seems to be coming - but you'll have to wait a few more years. Robyn
Bass Pro has a history of planning to open and then reconsidering. We were supposed to get one here in Buffalo and negotiations went on for years before they decided against it. I suspect the one will open EVENTUALLY in St Johns county because of the population growth but who knows when.

The Avenues is good, Orange Park is whatever, not into the Regency. St Johns probably has the most shopping options.

I'm not big into shopping, I'll mostly go to these places to walk around. Sometimes the fiancé will go shopping and I'll go with her.

I'm not sure the last 2 do custom shirts - but I would guess they do. My husband had a new sports jacket custom made at Rosenblum's last year - and he is pretty happy with it.

My favorite shopping is in Tokyo - although Singapore wasn't too shabby . OTOH - I don't need a whole lot of new stuff these days - so most of my shopping is "window shopping". Robyn

Robyn,
Thanks for the recommendation. I have an appointment for a fitting at Rosenblum's in JAX Beach next Thursday. I don't need a lot of stuff either but splurge on my shirts. Now that I'm mostly retired I'll have my casual shirts made which will be a real treat.

Hope it works out for you . My husband doesn't wear dress shirts these days (except at funerals or the very occasional restaurant that requires a jacket and tie - many allow jackets and "dressy" tee shirts/turtlenecks - and most don't have any dress codes at all). So I think the dress shirts he has now will probably last him for the rest of his life. Robyn
