This is not a mall I usually shop in but they had a special offer for educators at the end of the school year. With no purchase necessary you could show your school ID and get a free cooler bag with mall coupons inside it. I drove down one evening and was happy to find that the mal is right off the Turnpike and the Dolphin Expressway (836). I knew what number entrance I had to park at so the information desk was fairly easy to find. The friendly staff gave me a really nice bag which I love. I look forward to coming back and using some of the coupons which included the movies and dining. It was very nice of the Dolphin Mall to celebrate educators this way and they made a new customer.
