Walgreens permit for Flamingo Crossings
Posted: Tuesday October 22, 2019 12:00pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Walgreens may be the first retail store to open at Flamingo Crossing, with permits for the drug store now filed with authorities.

The 12,500 sq. ft drug store is located on the corner of Flamingo Crossing and Western Way at the main intersection. (Thanks to danlb_2000 for spotting the latest permit)

Located just off State Road 429 and near to the Western Way entrance to Walt Disney World, Disney rebooted its 10 year old Flamingo Crossing development last year, with an announcement of new plans to bring 29 retail and restaurant buildings across 45 acres, to be developed in three phases.

So far we know that a Target store will join the development, along with a Speedway gas station.

Five additional value hotels will ultimately be built, including other Marriott and Hilton properties. The first two hotels by Marriott at Flamingo Crossing opened in 2016, and are the only businesses currently operating in Flamingo Crossing.

not sure the lines will slow down that soon. There are at least 5 other locations in the state so they seem to do ok down here. The one I lived near in Sunrise FL has probably been there for at least 40 years.

Culver’s has the best burgers of any fast food chain, better than 5 guys, better than in and out. The custard is also great, outside of a good mom&pop place (most of which are located in the Milwaukee metro area) you won’t find better. The curds and fries are serviceable, not bad, not amazing, but solid. Their chicken, pork and fish are also quite good, but I usually can’t not pick the burger.

'In defense of Culver's. My Wisconsinite daughter takes friends to Culver's to have the "food of her people" in Orlando and says it's just not as good as home, especially the curds. But they have a pretty good fish fry for a fast food place.

Looks like a winner at WDW.

And on the West Side in Disney Springs, and now in the Town Center.

Fit2Run had a huge location at the touristy FL Mall in Orlando complete with oval running track inside the store. That lasted a few years before the placed closed.

I did not know there were 2 locations...The one on Little Palm is great! We always make a point of going there when we are up in Orlando

There's also a Portillo's on Palm Parkway (around 5 miles from Disney Springs).

Culver’s is just a “Meh” burger/ice cream joint. It will fit right in with Orlando’s “Food sprawl” New Jersey had more “taste cred” before it embraced 600 chipotles 😎
