Charming Charlie premieres at La Palmera lifestyle court

Corpus Christi, Texas Trademark Properties announced that accessories retailer Charming Charlie, based in Houston, opened Tuesday at the new outdoor lifestyle court of La Palmera mall.

Charming Charlie is one of 11 new tenants announced in August 2009.

Subway and MTV Nails both opened in February. VANS will open March 12, and Grimaldi’s Coal Brick-Oven Pizzeria will debut in the Lifestyle Court in April, with P.F. Chang’s China Bistro set to open in that same area in June.

Since acquiring the 1,017,704-million-sq.-ft. mall in July 2008, Trademark has signed 14 new deals with an additional 20 stores relocating or remodeling in 2010, including Buckle, Regis, Zales and Claire’s, which have all opened in new locations. AT&T remains in a temporary location while they remodel their original store slated to open March 12, the same day Sunglass Hut is scheduled to open their new kiosk. Glamour Shots will also be moving to a new location.
