Southern Grounds Coffee is preparing to build-out in the pre-security area at Jacksonville International Airport.
The city is reviewing a permit application for Auld & White Constructors LLC to renovate almost 2,000 square feet of space at an estimated cost of $300,000.
C&S Companies of Orlando is the architect.
Jacksonville-based Southern Grounds opened a shop Feb. 16 post-security in Concourse A.
Southern Grounds owner Mark Janasik is developing the shops in a partnership and licensing agreement with HMSHost and with the Jacksonville Aviation Authority.
The pre-security space was occupied by Starbucks, Made in JAX and parts of the airport gallery.
The Southern Grounds space will be double the size of its Concourse A shop.
Southern Grounds will offer food, a full-service bar and its blueberry bakery to provide gourmet pastries and desserts.
The space, totaling about 2,400 square feet, includes diner seating. Plans show 45 seats.
