A second Crumbl Cookies store is planned in Jacksonville.

The first area location for the national cookies and ice cream company will open in Pablo Creek Plaza East. The city is reviewing a permit application for a second one in Mandarin Oaks.

Franchise owner Sharmain Powell wants to open the 1,455-square-foot Mandarin store at 11406 San Jose Blvd., No. 3.

The permit application shows tenant improvements of $192,440 to the space. It lists Sharmain Sweets Inc. of St. Augustine as the business owner.

Powell said by email April 8 she hopes to open in June. She said she owns the franchise for that location and would like to open at least two more.

“It has always been my dream to have my own business. I have decorated cakes and baked goods for over 30 years,” Powell said.

As for Mandarin: “I love the atmosphere of Mandarin and would like to be more involved in the community. I look forward to meeting the local people and being able to provide jobs in this area.”

Nicholas Lai, a member of Brother Bakers Jacksonville LLC, owns the Pablo Creek Plaza East franchise.

There, the city issued a permit in February for J. Lane Construction LLC to build-out 1,816 square feet of space for Crumbl Cookies at a cost of $188,000.

The address is 3267 Hodges Blvd. at southeast Beach and Hodges boulevards.

Lai said April 11 it should open in June. 

Stephanie McCullough and Kelly Pulignano of The Shopping Center Group represent the landlords of both centers.
