Happy 2026, y’all! ‘Tis the season for refresh and renewal after our wonderful holiday celebrations. All three LuLu’s locations in Gulf Shores, Destin, and North Myrtle Beach are undergoing some maintenance and upgrades right now to make your guest experience the absolute best it can be, always. I can’t wait to see them in their shining glory ready for you and the new year. 
Our locations used to feel seasonal in these coastal communities, but they’ve turned festive and happening all year long. That said, we can take a tiny breather before diving into our fun season of ‘love and revelry’.  Vow renewal and Mardi Gras celebrations are just around the corner, then spring break, and summer after that! Not getting too ahead of myself, lol.
Wishing everyone a few weeks of rest and reset to start the new year on a good foot, with a clean slate, so we can make 2026 our best year yet personally and in business, for everyone everywhere! 
See y’all soon at LuLu’s!
