Obi1 Posted November 2, 2011 #1 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Ok, I need some fast help with some info on clothing stores near the Crowne Plaza Airport/Cruise. I just found out someone in my group wants to buy some tshirts and shorts once we get to Fort Lauderdale. We live in Wisconsin and everything is now long sleeves/sweaters/pants, etc. Not looking for anything upscale. Is there a Wal Mart or something similar (I don't know the names of other stores there) that we could go to after we get to the hotel from the airport? Do you have an estimate of the cab costs to get there? All of your help is appreciated! Thank you. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be no more than a $10 cab ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalcruz Posted November 2, 2011 #3 Share Posted November 2, 2011 CVS and Walgreens sell some Tshirts. They are both on 17th St a few blocks in either direction of Ross. There is nothing else I can think of in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanJ Posted November 3, 2011 #4 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Oakwood Plaza is probably a $15-20 cab ride each way, but there are several stores there, like Kmart, Marshalls, Old Navy and Ross. Plus several restaurants if you also wanted to get a meal since there isn't much in the way of food near the Crowne Plaza either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to my calculator, the fare to Oakwood Plaza is about $22 each way plus tip for the 7.4 mile trip. But there is much more there than near the hotel.

Yes, indeed, there is a Ross Dress for Less in a shopping plaza that is on the corner of SE 17th St and Cordova Rd in Ft. Lauderdale only about a mile and a half from the OP's hotel.

DanJ Posted November 4, 2011 #7 Share Posted November 4, 2011 There's also a plaza on 84 about a mile west of the hotel on the same side of the road as the hotel, which has a Bealls, Winn Dixie, Big Lots and several other smaller stores and a few places to eat.
