Winter Park Village to Raze Chamberlains and Build REI Sporting Goods


Winter Park Town Center Ltd got conditional use approval to demolish and rebuild approximately 25,000 square feet of retail building area within the Winter Park Village Shopping Center at 402 and 490 N. Orlando Avenue.

Planning Manager Jeff Briggs explained the request to redevelop the southwest corner of Orlando Avenue and Canton Avenue. 

He reported that they will tear down the existing Chamberlain’s Store as well as the small building on the corner and replace it with a REI Sporting Goods Store. He commented that the landscape frontage will be continued all the way to the corner of Canton Avenue.

Winter Park Village was approved for a master signage plan which included the existing Chamberlain’s sign which is why they put the REI logo and signage on top of the existing base. 

The sign is internally LED lit which is what the more progressive sign codes are moving people to.
