Co-Owners Glenrick Samuels, Jermaine Perkins and Michael Davis had a vision…to provide the community with a much-needed family-oriented indoor facility where children and adults could enjoy both indoor batting cages and virtual racing simulators.
On May 12, that vision became a reality when the trio opened the doors to a new 4,600-plus-sq.-ft. facility which houses four batting cages for both baseball and softball and five state-of-the-art racing simulators. The venue also has picnic tables and two 100-ft. TV screens.

If you are plagued by poor sleep habits or quality, you’re not alone. According to John Evans, the principal owner of the recently opened Wesley Chapel and Lutz offices of Starlight Medical Group, 5 percent-8 percent of the U.S. population has some sort of sleep disorder. That is why Evans has teamed up with sleep specialists Richard S. Powell, M.D., and Robin J. Trupp, Ph.D., ARNP-BC, to bring these medical services to sleep-seeking residents of Wesley Chapel and New Tampa.
The group has begun seeing patients at its new Wesley Chapel medical office and overnight sleep lab located off of Bruce B. Downs (BBD) Blvd., across from the site of the under-construction Florida Hospital Wesley Chapel, as well as at the Lutz location off of S.R. 54.

I have to admit that I was never a big fan of Quizno’s Subs, but I already am a HUGE fan of the new, family owned Oakley’s Grille that has replaced Quizno’s New Tampa location on Bruce B. Downs (BBD) Blvd., next to Dairy Queen (DQ) and in front of Home Depot.
Owner Keith Oakley has nearly four decades of experience in the restaurant business. He has taken what he learned while he was opening some of the original Chili’s, Outback and Longhorn Steakhouse locations in Florida (among others) and created a concept that promises gourmet burgers, sandwiches and salads in a clean, contemporary, family-friendly environment.

Little Feet, located on S.R 56, is all about children’s shoes and accessories. The store offers an assortment of top brand name shoes and more for children from infants and toddlers up to boys and girls size 6, and in medium (regular), wide and X-wide widths.
Diana Ciccarelli took over the business four years ago. Previously, Ciccarelli worked with handicapped children in New York, where she learned the importance of correct shoe sizing for young kids. Ciccarelli can’t stress enough the importance of sizing your children often. “If your child takes off his or her shoes a lot, it could mean that his or her shoes are too small,” she says. “In order to get your child’s proper size, it is important that both feet are measured, since a majority of the population has one foot that is larger than the other. The child also should be standing, with his or her weight on the foot being measured, in order for the measurement to be accurate.”
