A second Daily’s gas station and convenience store may be coming to Nocatee in light of city utility JEA's service availability letter for the project.
The letter indicates a project is under consideration, but does not mean there is a confirmed project.
The store is shown along Valley Ridge Boulevard south of Nocatee Parkway on land that straddles Duval and St. Johns counties.
The proposed 6,361-square-foot store includes 1,200 square feet for a quick-service restaurant. There is no car wash.
JEA issued the letter Feb. 25.
Daily’s owner and operator First Coast Energy bought the 0.5-acre site through First Coast Energy LLP on Dec. 18, 2024, for for $3.15 million.
The seller was Sonoc Company LLC, a part of the Davis family developing Nocatee.
There is a Daily’s gas station and convenience store at 40 Settlement Drive south of Nocatee Parkway in the St. Johns County portion of Nocatee.
There are no permit applications in review with either county or St. Johns River Water Management District, which typically are accompanied by site plans.
Jacksonville-based England-Thims & Miller is the civil engineer.
Silverleaf Daily's
Other Daily’s are planned in Northeast Florida.
St. Johns County is reviewing plans for a location in the Silverleaf community. The water management district issued an environmental resources permit Oct. 31, 2024.
The site is at County Road 16A southeast of Silverleaf Parkway.
The same property owners and engineering team are involved.
The sale price was $3.78 million. The Hutson Companies, through Whites Ford Timber LLC, was the seller.
Site plans show a 7,600-square-foot convenience store with 16 fueling stations and 32 pumps, a drive-thru car wash and charging stations for electric vehicles.
There are 69 parking spaces.
Plans also show an unnamed 4,300-square-foot medical office with 52 parking spaces.
LaVilla Daily's
Civil engineering plans for a Daily’s gas station and convenience store in LaVilla were submitted to the city of Jacksonville on Jan. 15.
First Coast Energy LLP prepared the plans for the property, bordered by Forsyth, Bay, Broad and Jefferson streets. They show a 20,554-square-foot convenience store on the southeast corner of the property, with a bank of fuel pumps roughly in the middle between entry and exit points on Bay and Forsyth streets.
Also shown are 36 parking spaces, with electric-vehicle charging stations in the northwest corner.
The submission of the plans comes more than a year after the Downtown Development Review Board voted in August 2023 to grant final approval for a two-story Daily’s that included a Bold City Brewery and restaurant. The approval came on a 5-2 vote, which capped eight months of delays and hearings in which LaVilla and Downtown advocates expressed opposition to the proposal and pressed for design changes.
First Coast Energy paid almost $3.3 million in August 2020 for the property, including nearly $2.4 million for five parcels that include the site of a closed bank drive-thru and $900,000 for the land where the Kartouche nightclub once stood.
The chain’s fast-casual food service concept, Daily’s Dash, offers hot breakfast, lunch, and dinner entrees, plus sandwiches and made-to-order specialty coffee beverages ordered via a touchscreen kiosk.
Daily’s was founded in 1997 and operates primarily in Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Gainesville and Broward County, according to its website.
