The New Ashley HomeStore Store In Orlando

What a way to kick off 2019! Recently I had the chance of attending my very first Grand Opening! I’m still in shocked that I was selected out of all of the amazing influencers in the Orlando area. Here I was mingling with some of the top people of Ashley HomeStore.

The new Ashley HomeStore opened their doors to the public on January 21, 2019, at the there brand new location at 4607 Millenia Plaza Way in Orlando. Upon arrival at the location, one of the first things I noticed was the line that had already started to form outside of the store.

Influencer Area

I was quickly drawn to the influencer area where the vendors had wet up there shops and were ready to mingle with us. I have to say this was so fun to do. When I arrived at the area I received a stamp card. The card was a really cool way to encourage us to visit each of the vendors. Once we had done that we would receive a stamp on our punch card. If you collected all of the vendor stamps, you would then turn in your stamp card to enter for your chance to win a $5,000 shopping spree from Ashley HomeStore.

After we had a chance to visit the vendors, we had the opportunity to participate in a private VIP tour of the new store. All of this took place prior to the store opening to the public. Talk about feeling EXTRA special. By the time to tour was complete, I was really second guessing my home decor. Now, I want to completely redo all of my home decor. The displays were styled so beautifully. Don’t believe me…check out the pictures below and watch here to see for yourself.

Now that you know Ashley Homestore is NOW OPEN in Orlando, head over there and check it out!  You will not be disappointed. Actually, you will walk away with some really cute funiture piecces and you will be inspired to tackle all of those home upgrades that you have been putting off.

Is a food truck that specializes in milkshakes and ice cream sandwiches. Grovetucky Farms Food Truck will cater to your next event. From Corporate events, birthday parties, baby showers and more. You name it, they will cater it! While visiting the truck I ordered the Macaroon Ice Cream Sandwich. All I can say is OMG! It was hands down one of the best ice cream sandwiches I have ever tried. I normally stay away from ice cream due to having multiple allergies. But this ice cream sandwich did not make my stomach hurt not cause me any discomfort after consuming. I will definitely be visiting the Grovetucky Farms Truck again soon!
