Building Up Jax: The Great Greek coming to St. Johns; Concealment Express seeks Southbank HQ

The Great Greek coming to Shoppes of St. Johns Parkway

Northern St. Johns has landed another new future tenant: The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill.

The Great Greek received a permit for build-out in a unit located within The Shoppes of St. Johns Parkway. The chain has locations in seven states including Florida; this would be its first North Florida location.

It joins 1928 Cuban Bistro, Al Dente’s, Canopy Road Café, Ember and Iron, and Whataburger among the restaurant options within the retail center, which is located at CR-210 and St. Johns Parkway.

Concealment Express seeks DDRB approval for Southbank HQ

Concealment Express is looking to gain DDRB approval to renovate a Southbank building for its new headquarters and showroom. The company submitted a conceptual review request to overhaul an existing two-story building at 1451 Louisa St., next to the new Soba apartment complex.

The company, currently based off of 103^rd St., sells American-made gun holsters.

The project is expected to receive an initial rejection from DDRB, as its proposed vertical architectural signage addition does not meet city standards.
