New Businesses in Wilton Manors

Painting with a Twist - Wilton Station
Several new businesses have opened in Wilton Manors in recent weeks, which will surely compliment the established ones.  Painting with a Twist recently opened on the ground floor of Wilton Station.  They offer group painting classes and encourage customers to bring their own "twist" in the form of alcohol.  Classes are for beginners too, so don't be timid if you lack artistic flare. 


Dr. Lozada-Cruz Wilton Station
Another business that has also opened on the ground floor of Wilton Station is Dr. Brenelly Lozada. Dr. Lozada opened her practice in suite 104 and she specializes in Oncology, Hematology & Internal Medicine.

Infinity Lounge (No relation) is now open on the ground floor of The Gables at 2184 Wilton Dr.  Also, directly across the street at the previous Wings N Things, construction is moving swiftly on what is rumored to be an Asian inspired restaurant.
