The store will replace the Universal Epic Universe Preview Center, which will close on April 13 to make way for the new experience. <\/p>\n

Universal\u2019s Summer Tribute Store<\/a> previously drew strong crowds when it operated inside Universal Studios Florida, which featured \u201cE.T.,\u201d \u201cJaws,\u201d and other retro touchstones.<\/p>\n

CityWalk\u2019s dining lineup is also changing. Five Guys is expected to open later this summer, taking over the current Burger King Whopper Bar space; that location is scheduled to close April 21, Universal said.<\/p>\n
