Building Up Jax: “Pub-style” barbershop coming to Murray Hill; Ben & Jerry’s to Nocatee

CHOP BARBERSHOP TO OPEN 2 JAX STORES

“Pub-style” barbershop Chop Barbershop is expanding into Jacksonville with two planned locations.

The Tallahassee-based barbershop will open its first Northeast Florida location on October 26 at 935 Edgewood Ave. in the Murray Hill neighborhood. [UPDATE (10/17): Chop has pushed back their opening, which will now happen sometime in November.]

For its second location, it will join Bento Sushi, Panera Bread, and Chipotle as a future tenant of Brooklyn Place, which is currently under construction along Riverside Ave.

Founded in 2015, Chop offers a pub-like, family-focused barbershop experience with affordable hair services and free Wi-Fi, lollipops, and beverages – including beer for those 21 or older.

BEN & JERRY’S TO JOIN NOCATEE TOWN CENTER

Ben & Jerry’s is coming to Nocatee next year.

The popular ice cream chain plans to open next spring within Nocatee Town Center. It will join Clean Juice, First Watch, GreenWise Market, Makk Fashions, Really Good Beer Stop, and Sherwin Williams in a newly-developed portion of the shopping center.
