Tucked along Ehrlich Road, Odessa Outfitters has quietly become one of the area's go-to destinations for custom apparel, personalized gifts, school spirit wear, and local-themed merchandise. What started as a small creative business has evolved into a full-service boutique producing custom shirts, hoodies, bags, and gifts for families, schools, sports teams, and local organizations.

Unlike many online custom-print companies, Odessa Outfitters produces many items in-house, allowing for quick turnaround times and personalized service. According to the business, many custom apparel orders can be produced the same day depending on volume and complexity. I have been a customer several times, even last-minute items were accommodated. They are very guest focused, and it shows. I LOVE supporting these types of businesses and what they can offer.

Owner Andrea Andrews operates the business with a focus on personalized customer service and custom creations. The company was previously known as Babies In Bows and Everything That Goes before evolving into Odessa Outfitters and expanding into custom apparel and gift products.

In an era when many consumers order custom products from national websites, Odessa Outfitters represents something increasingly rare:

✅ Local ownership
✅ Local production
✅ Personalized service
✅ Support for schools, teams, and community groups

The business is also an active member of the Carrollwood Area Business Association business community.

The area's largest retail story continues to be the arrival of Nordstrom Rack, HomeGoods, and Total Wine & More. These tenants will fill major vacant spaces and fundamentally change the shopping center's draw. Tampa Bay Times and local Beacon Media both confirmed the tenant lineup.

One of the most visible restaurant properties in the area appears headed for redevelopment after the closure of Smoky Bones. Reporting indicates the site may become a Twin Peaks restaurant after acquisition activity by Twin Peaks' parent company.

Build-Outs & Future Openings

Nordstrom officially confirmed a 24,700-square-foot store for Citrus Park. The company publicly announced the location and projected Fall 2026 opening.

These are not confirmed openings yet but are the strongest local signals:

Multiple commercial spaces remain available and are actively being marketed throughout Carrollwood. Historically, restaurant operators and service businesses tend to follow major retail investments nearby.

Several Tampa-area restaurant groups continue posting hiring notices, which often precede opening announcements by several weeks.
