Six new retailers open in Delray Beach this summer: Here's what to know

DELRAY BEACH — Downtown Delray Beach continues to grow with seven new retailers this summer alone.

The Delray Beach Downtown Development Authority (DDA) announced the opening, expansion and relocation of 20 new restaurants and retailers in July.

“We are excited for the continued growth of Downtown Delray Beach,” Laura Simon, executive director of the Delray Beach DDA, said. “Not only are we continuing to bring in new retailers, businesses and restaurants to our business district, but we are successfully and quickly filling vacancies as existing businesses choose to leave or move locations at the end of their leases. These are all signs of a healthy downtown.”
