This Second Escapes! Resort in Popular Destination Will Significantly Enhance Existing Property at The Shores
ORANGE BEACH, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 26, 2006--Escapes!, Inc., historically one of the leading and oldest independent timeshare development companies, will break ground this month on Escapes! to The Shores in Orange Beach, Alabama, a newly constructed resort scheduled to open in late summer 2008. The new resort is designed to dramatically enhance the existing resort property, The Shores, which was originally built in the early 1980s.

"Escapes! is thrilled to expand in the Alabama market with our ninth resort to open and our fourth beach-front property. The Shores is a special place where owners care deeply about each other and their resort, and we are excited to welcome them into our growing family of owners. Escapes! is confident that The Shores owners will develop and enjoy strong bonds with friends and family over the years in this new, luxurious setting," said John A. Cooper III, president of Cooper Communities, Inc., the parent company of Escapes!
