BRANDON, FL -- The Hitting Academy has opened in 14,000 square feet at Kingsway Plaza
in Brandon. Also new to the center is a Circle K convenience store.
The Academy deal was brokered by Pattie DeWitt of Florida Retail
Partners representing the Landlord. Adding an entertainment component to the
center appeals to millennials for whom statistics show want more entertainment
options in their shopping experience.
“This is great news for the community,”
according to DeWitt. “The Hitting Academy brings substantial traffic to the
center benefitting all our retailers while providing a fun service to the
community.
Kingsway Plaza recently
underwent substantial renovation to better serve its tenants and their
customers. The renovations included upgrading the parking lot, new site
lighting, landscaping and tenant signage.
Florida Retail Partners, an X Team partner has
turned around the once struggling Kingsway Plaza, a 78,000 square foot retail
center in Brandon, FL. bringing a myriad of new tenants including a solid
anchor tenant in Dollar Tree.
“For years, I knew the
next location for The Hitting Academy was Brandon, said Academy owner Rob Ciaravino. After searching the
market for the best available space, Kingsway Plaza seemed to be the best fit.
“With a large amount of
families in the immediate area and the latest improvements to the shopping
center, we felt this would be a superb location for our 3rd location.
"Things
are going great at our new Brandon location and we are looking forward to
helping all of the baseball and softball players in the area for years to
come.”

The Hitting Academy is the
premier indoor baseball/softball training facility in Tampa Bay with three
locations in Clearwater, Tampa and now Brandon. Ciaravino opened his first
Academy in Clearwater in 2007 with the goal of helping as many players as
possible improve their skills.
Since that time, The Hitting Academy has worked
with many of the top players in the area to become better hitters and overall
athletes.
They train athletes of all
ages and skill level from serious training to just having fun.
They have
created a great learning environment by understanding that most people
(especially kids) are visual learners, and to nurture that use video analysis
in all private hitting lessons.
