Kick Bright Vintage Shop & Button Manufacturer Opens Up In The Milk District Orlando March 2023

We’ve got good news! We are officially back in a “brick and mortar” store!!!!!

Come celebrate with us for our Grand Opening Saturday March 25, 2023! We’ll be open from noon until 10pm. We’ll have special exclusive buttons available only for the event and other top secret surprises. There will be bands/music in the parking lot around 7pm (Circuit Church will be happening).

We’ll have out new vintage clothing selections, decorative kitschy artwork, toys & collectibles and our “world famous” button wall will be in full effect.

We’re just east of Downtown Orlando in the Milk District. Our address is 2436 E Robinson Street Orlando Florida 32803.

If that address sounds familiar it is! We did a two month stint at 2430 E Robinson at the beginning of 2022 as part of the incubator program organized by Zach Alfson, director of the Milk District Main Streets Orlando. Also, this stand alone building in the back parking lot was the former location of Vinyl Richie’s Wiggly World of Records and a previous location of Etoile Boutique, who now operate a few doors down.

We’ve got great neighbors like The Nook on Robinson, Etoile Boutique, Holey Rabbit Tattoos. Of course there’s Gringos Locos, Stasios, Sideward Brewery, Iron Cow, MX Tacos, Black Magic Pizza, Beefy King, Liberty Barbershop, Kyle’s Bike Shop, Pom-Poms, Retro Records and a plethora of other cool places within walking distance.

We’re open now but we’re gonna have a party all day to celebrate our hard work.

Our hours right now are:
Monday CLOSED
Tuesday 6pm-10pm for Tasty Takeover, a weekly food truck event in our parking lot.
Wednesday CLOSED
Thursday 12-6pm
Friday 12-6pm
Saturday 12-6pm
Sunday 12-5pm

We’ll still be doing pop up markets and conventions so we’ll still be out there in some way but we really really really want you to stop by the new place to show you what we’ve done.

We’ve come a long way since our annual yard sales, right?

Thanks,

Jeffrey & Kristin
