The grocery anchors the Corridors at Ponte Vedra shopping center at 840 Florida A1A N.
St. Johns County issued a permit Jan. 14 for the grocer to continue renovations for the adjacent liquor store that will offer full-service coffee and alcoholic beverage sales.
At build-out, the store will feature a seven product aisles and a bar with seven seats. Plans show two tables with banquette seating. It replaces the closed discount home goods retailer Tuesday Morning.
The project cost for the renovations is $50,000.
St. Johns County approved plans Aug. 7 for The Fresh Market to build The Fresh Market Spirits & Wine and a coffee bar next to its Ponte Vedra Beach grocery store.
The 8,029-square-foot liquor store will replace Tuesday Morning. The original project cost to build-out was $1.5 million. It will be located at 840 Florida A1A N., Suite 210.
The St. Johns County Planning and Zoning Agency voted 5-1 on April 18 to approve a minor modification to the store’s planned unit development. The modification allows alcohol sales 35 feet from The Bolles Lower School Ponte Vedra Beach Campus at 200 ATP Tour Blvd.
