The frame has gone up for the façade of the 2023 Mardi Gras Tribute Store at Universal Studios Florida.
As we previously reported, the Tribute Store has a new location in the Hollywood section of the park. The frame confirms that the store’s entrance will be at Studio Styles, which previously housed the UOAP Lounge.
The frame has two supports and an awning-shaped piece over the actual red awning at the Studio Styles entrance.
The new Tribute Store takes over Studio Styles, The Darkroom, and Williams of Hollywood. Before it opens, guests can get their photo on a custom prop bottle to be displayed in the Tribute Store.
The Tribute Store has become an iconic Universal staple, constantly revolving its theme to the season or event taking place in the parks. During Halloween Horror Nights, guests are able to shop in eerie and intensely themed rooms which come together to tell one larger story that takes place within the event. During the holidays, we are able to enter an entirely new world of festive fun that also follows its own storyline.
