Sunshine and Good Vibes at Kohl’s Hunters Creek

There was a time when most of the area around Hunters Creek and Kissimmee, Florida were submerged under water. It wasn’t until the late 19th century that the state of Florida made a deal with Hamilton Disston to drain the area and convert it to productive uses. Disston set up his drainage operation in Kissimmee, and the town began to grow. With the arrival of the South Florida Rail Road, the city became a travel hub for central Florida. Though recessions and successive freezes would test the area in coming years, the city was able to survive primarily by means of citrus packing and open range cattle farming.

The large, open spaces required for that type of cattle farming, as well as the climate, eventually attracted the attention of Walt Disney. Just outside Kissimmee in 1971, Walt Disney World Resort opened and launched the city’s resurgence. Now, steeped in the tourism industry with near-by parks like Universal Orlando Resort and SeaWorld, Kissimmee is thriving. In addition to tourism, Kissimmee has become a retail shopping destination. Kohl’s Hunters Creek is located in the well-known outdoor shopping center The LOOP. The LOOP is located conveniently at the intersection of West Osceola Parkway and North John Young Parkway.
