Southeastern Grocers appears to be moving quickly on re-opening its Baymeadows Road Winn-Dixie store as it also files plans for the interior demolition for its new Baymeadows area headquarters.
The Jacksonville-based company, the holding company for Winn-Dixie and two other banners, submitted plans to the city for a $3 million remodel of the store at 10915 Baymeadows Road.
Southeastern Grocers has little comment on the plans. “At this time, no final decision has been made for the redevelopment of this space,” spokesman Zack Bingham said late Wednesday.
The interior recently was demolished, taking the store bare to the walls. It was a Winn-Dixie from 2003 to 2010, but was closed during a cost-cutting move.
Southeastern Grocers said previously more than 30 years remain in its lease agreement, which includes extension options.
Plans do not indicate if the remodeled store is a prototype, although companies typically design new locations with their latest features and newest designs.
Plans show “Winn-Dixie” and “Pharmacy” on the front of the building, which is in the Point Meadows shopping center at Baymeadows Road and Interstate 295.
The store is almost 46,000 square feet. Plans indicate the general sales area and restrooms will total 33,000 square feet.
Uses for the remaining space include offices, an employee lounge, storage, freezers and deli, bakery, meat and produce prep areas.
No contractor is listed on the application, although Williams & Rowe Co. Inc. performed the earlier interior demolition work.
Cuhaci & Peterson Architects of Orlando is the architect and the project agent.
Meanwhile, the company told associates Monday it will move its headquarters from West Jacksonville to Prominence office park off Baymeadows Road, near I-95.
Williams & Rowe Co. Inc. is listed as the contractor for the $261,000 interior demolition of space in the four-story, 160,000-square-foot building.
Tenant improvements will require a separate permit. RS&H is the architect.
Southeastern Grocers will lease a building at 8928 Freedom Commerce Parkway from Crocker Partners. City Council is reviewing an ordinance to rename it Prominence Parkway.
The demolition will include interior partitioning, doors and hardware, floor and ceiling finishes, and some mechanical and electrical items.
Southeastern Grocers expects to move in early 2016.
