Trader Joe's Heads to St. Johns County with New Retail Development
St. Johns County is getting its first Trader Joe's store in the Legends Landing retail development, which includes Costco and Buc-ee's as neighbors.
The new location will be a 12,500-square-foot building near I-95 and International Golf Parkway, adjacent to other major retailers like Bass Pro Shops and Home Depot.
Stiles Retail Group, Cantrell & Morgan, and FCA Partners acquired the 93.1-acre site for $45 million earlier this year, with plans to develop a mixed-use retail center featuring several restaurants and stores, including Trader Joe's, Olive Garden, LongHorn Steakhouse, Hobby Lobby, Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen, and Floor & Decor.
While an official opening date has not been confirmed, the new location will provide St. Johns County shoppers with a closer alternative to their current nearest Trader Joe's in Jacksonville Beach or Mandarin, which is approximately 30 minutes away by car.
