Tis the season for shopping and more shopping. We hope to give you an idea or two, regardless of your shopping location. Several new businesses and ideas should be considered. Malls and plazas provide you with the opportunity to visit many different types of stores with only having to fight the traffic one. Two new stores at WestShore Mall are worth visiting. One is a really cool furniture store called BoConcept. Located a few doors from J.C. Penney, this very practical and contemporary design/furniture studio is well worth a visit. If you are seeking a unique look in your home, BoConcept is it.

International Plaza is the location of a new concept restaurant/wine store called The Grape that opened in early December. Located across Champs Sports Bar, this upscale group offers a Shrimp and Crab Louis Salad, Sensual Chocolate Fondue, Mediterranean Quesadillas, and select cheeses and appetizers. Price ranges from $4 to $17. What a great place to take a break from shopping. And of course, they offer a large selection of wine to be consumed on premise or as package items that would make a great holiday gift.
