Default Blondie’s

Any word on opening date for Blondie’s? It has been a year since I have heard anything.

I find it very surprising how slow it’s moving along. When the developer wants something done, it doesn’t typically take very long. I’m wondering if there are plans working to tie the area in with the adjacent space vacated by the former Margarita Republic?

Wonder if they wished they sited it in Eastport instead of SS. Seems like a natural with the younger demo in Middleton. Either way, I’ve been to the one in Lauderdale and am all in on it

Is the Spanish Springs Blondie's associated with the Ft Lauderdale Blondies?

Good point
I believe it’s the same group but wonder if it will be the same concept

Pretty sure it's not. IIRC, the name was picked as an homage to Sharon Morse, who was called "Blondie" by her husband,,,

Why - pretty sure they are just serving drinks, like the bar in Sawgrass. Don’t need to pay royalties to a restaurant if you are pouring beer and mixing drinks.

BTW, before any one mentions trademark infringement - I am very sure they thought of that.

If it’s not trademarked, the name is fair game. It is confusing though but not surprising that it’s not associated with the Lauderdale location. Although, as I stated earlier, that one would’ve been perfect for Eastport.

Of the ten posts, which one criticizes ‘location, name and concept ‘?
The earlier posts were questioning if it was part of the Lauderdale location and if it was....would make sense in a more demo friendly and suitable siting...like Eastport/Middleton.
Conceptually, the Blondies that’s actually being proposed is perfect where it’s going...

Isn’t it just a back bar, counter bar and chairs? No food involved, just drinks, and the big question

how long can one take up space at the counter, only ordering one drink listening to music under a canopy. Hopefully there will be a drink or time minimum.
