Sportsman’s Warehouse will open at 13075 City Square Drive, No. 107, next to Burlington in the North Jacksonville shopping center.
The city is reviewing a permit for a $2.06 million interior build-out of the shell space. Cameron Construction of Salt Lake City is shown as the contractor for that project. Glenn W. Anderson, Architect of Salt Lake City is the architect.
Colliers real estate firm Senior Directors Nancy Sumner and Katy Figg and Director Eric Yi represent the landlord in leasing.
