OPA! THE SPIRIT OF GREECE COMING SOON TO DOLPHIN MALL WITH TAVERNA OPA RESTAURANT
The combination of great food and celebration arrives in Fall of 2009

MIAMI, FL – June 16, 2009 – Miami’s largest shopping and entertainment destination, Dolphin Mall, will welcome Taverna Opa in the fall of 2009, one of the fastest growing and highly successful restaurant concepts in South Florida and throughout the state of Florida.

Taverna Opa serves traditional Greek family style cuisine in a vibrant, lively setting that captures the flavor of the Greek islands. Opening in Dolphin Mall’s Ramblas Plaza, the 6,000 square foot venue will offer both interior and patio dining with seating for 200 in each. Guests will be energized by the blend of house and traditional Greek music by the restaurant’s DJ, where they are encouraged to dance on the tables during dinner and into the wee hours. The servers dance in Greek “Zorba” style to a variety of Greek songs while belly dancers, dressed in traditional attire, will entertain patrons every night beginning at 8 p.m. The restaurant will be available for large parties, such as anniversaries, birthday parties, sweet sixteen celebrations, bachelorette parties, rehearsal dinners, and corporate and business networking events.

"I am very pleased to be opening Taverna Opa, at Dolphin Mall, and to be offering an authentic taste of Greece to the diners in this area of Miami. Our unique dining and entertainment concept is the perfect fit for this location. We look forward to opening the restaurant and to becoming an integral part of the community," says owner Lirim Jacobi. The original Taverna Opa opened in Hollywood, Florida in 1998. Taverna Opa restaurant’s vision is the embodiment of the Greek spirit of Opa – a gathering place for guests to celebrate the basic elements of life – good, simple food, drinks and music enjoyed with family and friends. Taverna Opa will now have six franchise restaurants throughout Florida: Hollywood, South Beach, Ft. Lauderdale and Orlando along with two franchises owned by veteran restaurateur Lirim Jacobi, who opened Taverna Opa at West Palm Beach’s CityPlace in September 2008 and Dolphin Mall scheduled to open in West Miami-Dade this fall 2009.

Dolphin Mall is an enclosed value retail/entertainment/dining destination with an 850-seat food court and more than 240 retailers. It is located just five miles west of Miami International Airport, where the Dolphin Expressway and the Florida Turnpike intersect. Shoppers can access the mall by taking Exit 27 off of the Florida Turnpike. Hours of operation are Monday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. and Sundays 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. with extended hours in the Ramblas entertainment area.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DOLPHIN MALL ANNOUNCES COOL DE SAC AND P.F. CHANG’S CHINA BISTRO
Innovative play café and popular Asian restaurant join shopping center

Miami, Fla., May 18, 2009—Moms, dads, and kids will welcome the newest addition to Miami’s largest shopping and entertainment destination, Dolphin Mall, when the interactive family entertainment center cool-de-sac play café opens its second Miami location on the upper-level in the entertainment area in early 2010.

Cool-de-sac play café offers fine quality food using organic and natural ingredients and flavorings for both adults and children. Children ages 3-10 are invited to visit seven different interactive stations designed with age-appropriate activities. Hosts man each station, so parents can enjoy their delicious meals while their children visit the blocks station, arts and crafts, beauty salon, computer station with age-appropriate software, an enclosed play unit allowing for fun workouts, and a new cool-de-sac play café/Dolphin Mall-exclusive feature – a science spot, involving experiments, and a sports station, for older siblings. The open floor plan allows parents unimpeded views of their kids while they dine.

Cool-de-sac play café is the brain child of Jose Luis Bueno, a Mexico City native and marketing professional. He hired a chef from The Palm restaurant to create an appealing and healthy menu for both adults and children, and reconfigured favorites on the children’s menu to retain taste while reducing calories and fat. Adults can enjoy paninis, thin crust pizzas, salmon, pasta, steak, salads, appetizers, and desserts.

The Dolphin Mall cool-de-sac play café will be 10,000 square feet, and feature four large private party rooms for all-inclusive birthday parties; a Party Plaza with tables and chairs for parents; a retail store; Mom-and-tot classes taught by certified pre-school teachers; a grill area, with the menu additions of sirloin and Kobe burgers and a sushi station.

Also, a new dining destination is coming to Dolphin Mall. Opening in fall 2010, P.F. Chang’s China Bistro is a full-service upscale restaurant, known for its modern Chinese cuisine, attentive service and specialty mini desserts all served in a stylish, high-energy bistro. The 7,100 sq. ft. restaurant showcases signature dishes from the five major regions of China, including Canton, Szechwan, Shanghai, Hunan and Mongolia. P.F. Chang’s China Bistro seats 240 guests in addition to outdoor patio seating.

Dolphin Mall is located just five miles west of Miami International Airport at the intersection of the Dolphin Expressway and the Florida Turnpike. Normal hours of operation are Monday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. and Sundays 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Preview the stores, the styles and the savings at www.shopdolphinmall.com.

The International Shopping Traveler: New Research Highlights Plans to Visit and Shop the USA in the next 12 months!
Economic Conditions Not Dampening Attractiveness of United States as Destination for International Travelers

BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich., May 15, 2009 – More than 50 percent of international shopping travelers surveyed who have visited the United States in the last 12 months are likely to come again over the next year. That’s good news for the U.S. economy according to a study commissioned by Taubman Centers, owner and manager of Dolphin Mall, and Shop America Alliance in partnership with the U.S. Department of Commerce, Office of Travel & Tourism Industries.

New research on The International Shopping Traveler from the top five international inbound markets to the U.S. -- Canada, Mexico, UK, Germany and Japan, representing 75% of all inbound U.S. Travelers -- was conducted by Mandala Research via an online survey in January 2009. Survey respondents in each country, 1760 in total, had visited the U.S. in the past 12 months and had shopped.

Shopping, dining and cultural travel are among the top tourism activities in the U.S. These activities are especially important to international travelers and continue to be so even in these challenging economic times. “Travel and Tourism is an important economic contributor to the retail sector, as we see in our tourism shopping centers. The results from this study are positive for the U.S. travel and shopping industries and for the country overall,” says Robert Taubman, Chairman, President and CEO of Taubman Centers, who also serves on the United States Travel and Tourism Advisory Board.

"The International Shopping Traveler study will help retailers, destinations and travel companies better understand and attract the shopping traveler," says Helen Marano, Director, Office of Travel and Tourism Industries, U.S. Department of Commerce. “This can go a long way in boosting tourism. Shopping certainly spurs visitation to and spending in destinations all across the United States, which, in turn, has a positive impact on the employment and economic health of those areas.”

Highlights of The International Shopping Traveler study results include:

• Nearly 20% of these travelers say they have already booked their next trip to the U.S. and an additional 50% are very likely to visit and shop in the next 12 months.

• SHOPPING DRIVES TRAVEL. For a large number of travelers, shopping influences destination choice. 30% said it was a factor in their choice of destinations, while 23% said it was a key reason for the trip.

• ECONOMIC IMPACT. These travelers allocated a sizeable portion of total trip spend to shopping activities, spending on average $1063 per person on shopping out of a total average of $3692 per total trip, per person. While spending varies by market, the percent of shopping spend reported in the total trip spend was an average of 29%, and as high as 40% with Mexican Shopping Travelers.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


DOLPHIN MALL ANNOUNCES SEVERAL “FIRSTS” FOR 2010
Florida’s first Garage joins first and only Elizabeth Arden Outlet and several other retailers, restaurants coming this year

MIAMI, Feb. 09, 2010 – Two “first evers” are sure to make waves at Miami’s largest value shopping and entertainment center, Dolphin Mall, when they open this year: Stylish new teen shop Garage makes its Florida debut this summer, and prestige beauty retailer Elizabeth Arden will open its first-ever outlet store here this Summer. Crocs™ also will open a store at Dolphin Mall, and three new restaurants join the center’s appetizing lineup: Catch of the Day, Taco Vida and Taverna Opa, all opening this spring.

Montreal-based Garage is the hot new name in fashion for teen girls, and its first store in Florida opens at Dolphin Mall this summer. The high-energy brand specializes in celebrity-inspired casuals, including affordable denim, tops, pants, accessories and swimwear. With a focus on fashion and service, Garage offers a unique and welcoming ambiance to make girls and their friends feel at home. Garage’s doors open this Summer near the Food Court.

Elizabeth Arden will open its first ever outlet store at Dolphin Mall. Elizabeth Arden Outlet is set to make over Miami with its signature cosmetics, including coordinated eye, lip, cheek and nail colors–all at affordable price points. The innovator of eye makeup for every woman and foundations that precisely match skin tone, Elizabeth Arden is also known for its legendary skin cleansing, toning and nourishing treatment lines, as well as its fragrances such as White Diamonds, White Shoulders, Red Door and Curve. The first-ever Elizabeth Arden Outlet will carry these and other prestige fragrance brands, including Britney Spears, Mariah Carey, Usher and Giorgio Beverly Hills. Elizabeth Arden Outlet opens this Summer in Playa 8 by the Food Court.

Also opening this Spring at Dolphin Mall is fashion phenomenon Crocs™, with its ever-changing assortment of footwear for men, women and children. As lighthearted as they are lightweight, comfortable Crocs™ come in more than 120 styles this year to suit fun, active lifestyles. Crocs™ shoes are perfect for casual wear, as well as for professional and recreational uses such as boating, hiking, hospitality and gardening. The new Crocs™ store will be located in Playa 8 by the Food Court.

Hungry shoppers can dive into an array of dining options at Dolphin Mall, including three newcomers:

Catch of the Day, opening in May, was voted “Best Seafood Restaurant” by the New York Times, Gables Gazette and the Sun Post. The eatery casts a wide net to haul in and serve a vast assortment of fresh seafood, from all-you-can-eat stone crab to fresh oysters and perfectly broiled snapper. Catch of the Day offers informal patio seating and indoor dining, as well as happy hour specials. The restaurant will be located in the Ramblas Plaza.

Mexican-inspired Taco Vida, an original concept born in South Florida, specializes in burritos, tacos, quesadillas and more, prepared with fresh and flavorful ingredients. Chile-lime shrimp, oven-roasted chicken breast, ancho chile adobo seasoned pork and grilled vegetables are made to order at this affordable eatery that will also feature delicious desserts like flan, chimichanga cheesecake and deep-fried ice cream. Look for Taco Vida this spring, in Ramblas Plaza by Entry 3.

Sister restaurant Taverna Opa, from the same owners as Taco Vida, is a fun-filled Mediterranean hot spot that offers entertainment along with a delicious dining experience. Its upscale design takes patrons to the Greek Isles, where the open kitchen and wood-fired grill add a cozy intimacy. Diners will enjoy Taverna Opa's extensive, fresh and authentic Greek specialties while belly dancers entertain. Taverna Opa also opens this spring in Ramblas Plaza by Entry 3.

“We are thrilled to welcome so many fashionable and fun ‘firsts,’” says Dolphin Mall Marketing & Sponsorship Director Madelyn Bello-Calvar. “Our center is a destination for shopping, entertainment and value, and these new stores are great additions to Dolphin’s dynamic mix.”
