Of the arrivals promised for Aventura Mall this fall, two now have firm opening days. Celine is set for October 16 and UNIQLO for Thursday, November 5. Both dates come from the brands. Two of the fragrance houses that the July forecast placed in September were still listed as upcoming at the end of that month. The gap between those two groups sets this season's calendar. A store that names its own day has opened or is about to. A store that only appeared in a seasonal roundup is still waiting.
The July Forecast Set the Expectations
On July 31 the Miami Herald published a preview of the fall at Aventura Mall, which it called the largest mall in Florida and the fifth largest in the country. The preview listed Parfums de Marly and Initio Parfums Privés for September, Celine for October and Bulgari for November. It also listed one of Miami's first two UNIQLO stores, Bershka's first store in the U.S. and Revolve's first brick-and-mortar store in Florida, plus a longer group with no dates attached: Missoni, On, Wilson, FIGS, SuitSupply, Gorjana, BYLT and Neko Health.
The lineup leaned heavily on fragrance. In the same story, Jackie Soffer, chairman and CEO of mall owner Turnberry, said the mall had "seen an explosion of interest" in beauty. The new perfume houses were meant to join Amouage, the first Clive Christian store in the U.S., and tenants already in place such as Creed, Jo Malone London, Aesop, Bond No. 9 and Chanel Beauty.
That's the starting point. Two months on, the arrivals fall into three groups.
What Has Opened
The stores already trading each have something concrete behind them: a dated ceremony, an operating store page or a published opening.
| Arrival | Where | Status in early October | What confirms it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amouage | Upper level, Aventura Mall | Open | Grand opening on July 7 |
| Missoni | Upper level, Aventura Mall | Open | Opened July 10 |
| Revolve | Upper level, 19565 Biscayne Blvd. | Listed as an operating tenant | Mall store page with location and map |
| Gorjana | Upper level, 19575 Biscayne Blvd. | Listed as an operating store | Brand page with address, hours and in-store services |
| Ossobuco | Outdoor Courtyard, Aventura Mall | Open | Mall post on August 13, opening coverage on September 22 |
| Lady M | The Abbey, 19505 Biscayne Blvd., Suite 2199 | Operating | Ribbon-cutting scheduled for September 1, live boutique page |
Revolve and Gorjana show the pattern most clearly. A mall hiring page had given September 2026 as Gorjana's expected opening, and the brand's own page now lists its Aventura Mall address and hours. Revolve, which Forbes reported in May was slated to open in 2026, now has a regular mall store page with no "Coming Soon" label. Neither has a published grand-opening date. Both are listed the way the mall lists stores that are open.
The biggest dining addition is Ossobuco. It's the third Miami location for the wood-fired restaurant, after Wynwood and Coconut Grove, and it's part of Alcur Hospitality Group, where chef Guillermo Eleicegui is a partner and co-founder. World Red Eye reported that the brand appeared in the Michelin Guide in 2024, 2025 and 2026. The two available dates don't match. The mall posted a "Now Open" welcome on August 13, and World Red Eye's coverage on September 22 said the restaurant opened that day. Neither source says whether the August date was a soft opening. Either way, the restaurant is open. The same report says the group plans a catering service called Ossobuco On The Go for 2027.
Next door at The Abbey, Lady M announced a ribbon-cutting for 11 a.m. on Tuesday, September 1, according to Gossip & Glamour. Its boutique page lists the shop between The Amalfi Llama and Salt & Straw, across from Pura Vida, open 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily. On the mall's lower level, the dessert concept DIGGIN appears in the dining directory at 19501 Biscayne Blvd. There's no dated announcement of when it began serving.
Two Brands Published Their Own Dates
Celine and UNIQLO are the two names that moved from forecast to a firm date, and both did it by announcing the date themselves.
Celine's store locator lists the Aventura location with the line "Opening soon on 16/10/26," which is October 16, twelve days from now. That fits the October window the Herald gave in July, now narrowed to a single day. The locator lists the store's categories as women's and perfume.
UNIQLO announced on October 1 that its Aventura Mall store will open Thursday, November 5. A week later, on November 12, its store on Lincoln Road in Miami Beach opens. The retailer first announced plans for South Florida stores in February. In an interview with the Miami Herald, Fuminori Adachi, CEO of Uniqlo USA, said the company had been "waiting for the right locations," meaning stores where it could carry its full product range and services. The Herald described the Aventura store as a two-level newcomer. For Aventura shoppers, the order matters: the mall gets UNIQLO a full week before Lincoln Road.
Bulgari is still listed for November in the July forecast. We haven't found a brand-issued date for it yet.
What Is Still Listed as Coming Soon
The mall's shop index, last updated September 29, groups Celine, UNIQLO, Parfums de Marly, Initio Parfums Privés and ThirdLove under "Coming Soon." Celine and UNIQLO are on that list because their dates are close. Parfums de Marly and Initio are there because the September they were forecast for has ended. They were the first names in the Herald's fragrance lineup, and neither has an opening announcement as of this week.
ThirdLove's upper-level space at 19501 Biscayne Blvd. is also marked "Coming Soon." WhatNow reported on September 19 that no opening date had been announced.
The dining directory has its own pending list. Bubbice, Cha Cha Matcha and Honey Veil are all labeled "Coming Soon" as of late September.
The Abbey shows how long a forecast can drift. A June 2025 report expected FEULARD Aesthetic Lab to open in spring 2026. The July 2026 Herald piece still listed it as an upcoming arrival, and The Abbey's shops page still showed it as "Coming Soon" in mid-August. The same Herald story said The Abbey had recently opened Lola + The Boys.
All of these follow the same pattern. A seasonal preview gives a month, and the brand's own announcement gives the day. Of the September names in the July forecast, none were confirmed open by the end of September. The October and November names that are now firm became firm when the brands published their dates.
The October and November Calendar, With the Firm Dates Only
These are the dated events for the next six weeks in and around the mall:
- Now through October 31. Jacinta de México is running its Miami Spice three-course lunch and dinner menus at Aventura Mall.
- October 9 to 11. El Perro del Hortelano plays at the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center, presented by the City of Aventura, FUNDarte and the Miami-Dade County Auditorium.
- October 16. Celine opens at Aventura Mall, according to its store locator.
- October 16 and 17. ICONS: Latin Rhythms at the Aventura Center, presented by the City of Aventura.
- October 24 and 25. La Velada: An Alchemy of Past and Present at the Aventura Center, with the City, FUNDarte and the Miami-Dade County Auditorium.
- November 5. UNIQLO opens its two-level Aventura Mall store.
One transit note for evenings downtown: Brightline announced on September 29 that it will run late-night trains after Kaseya Center concerts and select shows through the end of 2026, with return trips to South Florida stations. These trains run only after specific events. They aren't a new nightly schedule for the Aventura station.
Parfums de Marly, Initio, ThirdLove, Bulgari, Bubbice, Cha Cha Matcha, Honey Veil and FEULARD aren't on this list because none has published a firm date. The mall's "Coming Soon" label will come off each one once it does.
