TAMPA, FL – Blo Blow Dry Bar, the world’s largest blow dry chain, and its sister company, Body By Blo will open their first Tampa location at MetWest International in Tampa’s Westshore Business District. 

The 1,250 square foot bar will be located in the retail section of the development between The Bar Method and Cooper’s Hawk Winery & Restaurant. 

Kalyn Brandewie of Florida Retail Partners brokered the deal on behalf of the project’s owner MetLife while co-broker Paul Royak of Avison Young represented Blo. 

“With nearly 4,000 employees on-site in MetWest’s three office buildings, Blo will have a ready-made customer base,” stated Brandewie.  “I can’t wait to make my first appointment when Blo and Body By Blo opens later this month.” 

“We're so excited to be bringing Blo and Body By Blo to Tampa and specifically to MetWest! We chose MetWest because it's a first class property with an excellent location.
