Malibu Country Mart Plans Series of Special Thursdays

• Center Kicks Off Summer Events

BY ANNE SOBLE

Beginning Thursday, May 7, the Malibu Country Mart will commence a new feature at the popular shopping center. Entertainment, refreshments, special values and store discounts will be offered every Thursday evening at the Country Mart from 5-8 p.m. during the summer months.
Noted singer-songwriter Arlene Kole is the featured artist at this week’s event. She and her family—her husband, her daughter and her daughter’s boyfriend—will all perform.
Kole describes her style as folk music with pop sensibilities and says that much of her lyrical content relates to family and relationships. Kole just released her first CD titled, “One Day…”
The Malibu Country Mart is already a major commercial hub in the community with its diverse mix of 65-plus high-end boutiques, art galleries and restaurants in more than 80,000 square feet of centrally located retail space.
Among the enticements for Malibuites to adopt an “if-it’s-Thursday-we’re-going-to-the-Mart” attitude for the summer are Chrome Hearts, Juicy Couture, Earnest Sewn, John Varvatos, Oliver Peoples, Sigerson Morrison, 7 for All Mankind and Nobu. Vince, Cocoon Furniture and Morgane Le Fay are expected to be opening soon.
With Malibu Country Mart’s beautiful gardens and sculptures, outdoor dining and picnic areas, abundant free parking, and one of the most popular children’s playgrounds to be found anywhere, Koss Real Estate invites all members of the community to stop by and enjoy the summer happenings at what is often described as one of the most unique shopping destinations in the country.
