World Market is opening its first Southeast Florida store this Friday, Sept. 25, bringing a 19,368-square-foot showroom of imported furniture, home decor and international snacks to Palm Beach Gardens. The store sits at Prosperity Centre on PGA Boulevard, marking the specialty retailer's return to the South Florida market after years of not having a presence in the region.
According to massmarketretailers.com, the new location will stock furniture, home decor, gifts, international foods, beverages and candy sourced from around the world. World Market's own store page for the location, listed at 2420 PGA Boulevard, describes an inventory of international delicacies ranging from small-batch Italian pasta sauces and French wine to Japanese snacks and British biscuits, according to worldmarket.com. The retailer notes its showroom brings together an eclectic collection of handcrafted furniture pieces sourced from artisans around the globe.
As reported by WPEC, World Market is opening a new Palm Beach Gardens location. The store brings together imported foods and home goods. That mix of low-cost decor alongside imported treats has long been the chain's calling card, and the Prosperity Centre store appears set to follow the same formula.
Grand Opening Details for Friday
The grand-opening celebration begins at 8:45 a.m. Friday with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, according to a company announcement carried by streetinsider.com. The ceremony will be followed by a weekend of festivities that include tastings and giveaways, giving shoppers a chance to sample the store's international foods before browsing the furniture and decor aisles.
Once open, the store will run on regular hours of 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday, per the same announcement. The company describes itself as a specialty retailer operating 249 stores nationwide, with the Palm Beach Gardens location representing its push into a part of Florida it hasn't served before.
A Fast-Growing Corner of PGA Boulevard
Prosperity Centre is on PGA Boulevard. The shopping center is listed at 2410 PGA Boulevard, a figure that differs from the 2420 PGA Boulevard address given by both World Market and the retailer's opening announcement.
The new store adds a specialty import retailer to the PGA Boulevard corridor.
Part of a Broader Retail Wave
The World Market opening lands amid a bigger stretch of new retail activity in Palm Beach Gardens. The Gardens Mall, a 1.4-million-square-foot shopping center with more than 150 specialty shops and restaurants, has announced a lineup of new retailers arriving throughout 2026, according to floridaweekly.com. That roster includes Ben's Pizza, opening its first Palm Beach County location at the mall, and SWIMS, which is set to make its United States store debut there as well.
World Market's collections are designed to change seasonally, with new arrivals added regularly, the retailer says on its store page. For now, the focus in Palm Beach Gardens is Friday's opening — the ribbon-cutting, the tastings, and the giveaways introducing Southeast Florida shoppers to the store.
