Tommy Bahama to open new restaurant and retail store on St. Armands

Tommy Bahama, a long-time mainstay of St. Armands Circle, has announced it will open a new combined restaurant, bar and retail space in the popular Sarasota shopping destination next year.

The new Tommy Bahama Restaurant, Bar & Store at 465 John Ringling Blvd. on St. Armands Circle, is expected to open in February 2025, according to a release. A cost for the project was not provided. 

Tommy Bahama dates back to 1996, when the brand opened a restaurant and retail location at 300 John Ringling Blvd. The business grew to the point the entire space was converted to restaurant use and the retail space moved down the street, the release states.
