There’s plenty in
store for shoppers
From large department stores to small consignment
shops, you can find anything on the First Coast.
The Jacksonville area might be spread
out, but shopping is always close at
hand — from major malls to oneof-a-kind
designers to antique malls to
thrift shops. Most neighborhoods have
everything nearby, including grocery
stores. Major markets include Winn-
Dixie, Publix and Rowe’s, along with the
groceries inside Walmart Supercenter
and SuperTarget. The Fresh Market,
Whole Foods, Earth Fare, Trader Joe’s,
and locally-based Native Sun Natural
Market and FreshJax offer organic and
gourmet fare.
Department store shopping is
available at such mainstays as Dillard’s,
Belk, Sears, JCPenney, Kohl’s and Stein
Mart, as well as discounters Walmart and
Target. Warehouse shopping is available
at Sam’s Club, Costco and BJ’s.
The area’s history also translates into
unique shopping areas. The shopping
districts in San Marco, Five Points and
Avondale are in some of Jacksonville’s
oldest and most historic neighborhoods
and offer restaurants, quaint shops,
boutiques, coffee shops, book stores and
more.
Along St. George Street, the main
street in St. Augustine’s historic
district, there are 11 pedestrian-only
blocks of historic sites (the oldest
wooden schoolhouse among them),
eating establishments and shopping.
If you’re into antiques, San Marco
Avenue in St. Augustine has one store
after another.
Centre Street in Fernandina Beach
consists of 50 blocks of restored Victorian
homes, shops and restaurants. The
shopping area has everything from
antiques to fashions to collectibles and
such historical treasures as the Palace
Saloon, the state’s oldest tavern.
