WELLINGTON, Fla. — The Mall at Wellington Green is set to open two exciting venues: Palm Beach Improv and Copper Blues Rock Pub & Kitchen.

The prosperous comedy club and lively dining experience are scheduled to open in late 2025, occupying a combined 13,700-square-foot space on the upper level of the mall, adjacent to CMX Cinemas.

WATCH: Palm Beach Improv heading to the mall

Palm Beach Improv has been a cornerstone of South Florida's comedy scene for over two decades, previously located in CityPlace and most recently at the Kravis Center in West Palm Beach, which has shows booked through October 2025 (click here for the schedule).

"We are grateful for the opportunity we’ve had to partner with the Improv and present outstanding comedians at the Kravis Center," said a Kravis Center spokesperson. "We value our relationship and look forward to continued collaboration in building a vibrant comedy scene in Palm Beach County."

The club has welcomed numerous high-profile comedians, including Fred Armisen, Kevin Nealon, and Steve Treviño, and is now ready to bring its comedic talent to the Wellington community.

“This is a huge moment for Wellington,” expressed Asad Sadiq, general manager of The Mall at Wellington Green. “We’re bringing nationally recognized entertainment and a fresh energy to the mall. Palm Beach Improv and Copper Blues aren’t just tenants—they’re experiences, and we’re proud to be their new home.”

The Mall at Wellington Green said the addition of Palm Beach Improv and Copper Blues marks a significant strategic move as the mall transitions into a dynamic lifestyle destination, blending dining, shopping, and entertainment.

The Improv says it hopes to open on Dec. 31, 2025.

The mall is located at 10300 W. Forest Hill Blvd. in Wellington.

Wellington developer Mark Bellissimo investigated for possibly filling wetlands without proper permit

WELLINGTON, Fla. — The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) is investigating a well-known developer for possibly filling wetlands without a proper permit.

Records show the SFWMD is concerned that Mark Bellissimo, who has an ownership stake in multiple horse shows in Wellington, filled 13.75 acres of land, including surface waters and two canals.

WATCH BELOW: Wellington developer under investigation

According to village documents, Bellissimo's company filed an application to expand the existing manure facility and built a store to sell feed and hay.

Gregory Vazquez, who works as an inspector for the SFWMD, said the group had a general permit for the north part of the property. But, he said the property would not qualify since surface waters were filled and the total area (north and east of the manure processing facility) exceeds 10 acres.

The district said in their notice of investigation letter that Bellissimo needed to file an Environmental Resource Protection Permit or restore the land to its original conditions.

Matthew Schwartz with the South Florida Wildlands Association said the permit is a "check" to ensure the area's ecosystem is protected. He's especially concerned about possible health effects from contaminated runoff since the area has a large amount of manure and has historical wetlands near the Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge.

"Things come of the manure, chemical leach out of it. Animals are eating all kinds of things. … And all those things can leach out of the stuff into the ecosystem and the groundwater," Schwartz said. "So, that needs to be very carefully inspected before a project like that could be OKed. If it was never OKed for this kind of operation, that's a serious operation."

WPTV reached out to Bellissimo and his son, Matthew, who operates a business on the land. We're still working to get an answer.

WPTV also reached out to the Village of Wellington to see if it is performing an investigation into the owner.

The village responded that "we are prohibited from requiring applicants to obtain State, Federal, and other authorizations prior to the issuance of our engineering permits/land development permits nor can we withhold issuance of our permits awaiting another agency's permit."

The two will square-off for the 4A championship at the AdventHealth Training Center, the indoor practice facility of the National Football League‘s Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

There should be a bit of a home field advantage for Alonso, a Tampa school. Wellington is from the east side of the state, west of Palm Beach.

The 4A championship game will start at 9:15 p.m.
