A new year, a new season, a new plaza, a new store! As Santini Plaza gets its final touches towards all lease holder buildout completions, we all are thinking about the future and looking forward to it! Many still “unknowns” are difficult for everyone and most of us don’t like change. We get used to things the way they have always been and resist embracing things that break with the past. Here on Fort Myers Beach, almost everything we see daily has been modified as a result of the destruction brought by Hurricane Ian. Those of us who are here daily year round have adapted to these modifications. What we’ve learned is that it is finally time to address our mindset to see opportunity, adventure, and hope in our future. Now that Leani’s is open for this upcoming season it certainly brings the “unknown” and with it a chance for all of us to embrace what lies ahead. Excitement, newness, renewal, and purpose. The gals of Team Leani’s are living proof this is not only possible, but darn right necessary! We anticipate the 2024-2025 season will bring many more of our island condos back online, the wonderful prospect of our snowbirds returning
in full force, and the expectation of our island tourists to once again celebrate the joys of Fort Myers Beach. We can absolutely say, there is NO ONE more excited about this than the helpful staff at Leani’s! We miss each and every one of you, and eagerly anticipate meeting all of your women and men’s shopping needs. We are stocking up on beautiful and fashionable resort wear, the most eye-catching bathing suits for every body shape, cute hats to protect you from our abundant
scorching sunshine, beach bags affording you the ease to bring all of your cherished items to either the beach or pool, and the perfect shoes to accommodate your tootsies while walking, shopping, swimming, dining out casually, or enjoying a special extravagant night out on the town.
The ONLY thing we CANNOT provide is YOU! This is where we need
YOUR help! We need you to get us going by supporting all local business (especially ours as we are poised to make you look and feel
“beach-ready” and FABULOUS). We look forward to you coming by to say “Hi” and tell us you missed us as much as we missed you. We want to hear how you’ve been, what’s happened since we last saw you, what’s news in your life. We are ready to receive your enthusiasm with the return of commerce to the south end of the beach. It’s finally time! Time for you to come “home” and pour your love into Fort Myers Beach. We are ready!! We sure do hope you are, too! We all need to look forward to the next adventure and embracing our new reality. We’ll see you soon!
