With the permit issued Nov. 15, Lotte Plaza Market was approved to renovate the closed Best Buy store at 9355 Atlantic Blvd. in the Regency area of Jacksonville at a cost of $8.99 million.
The store is expected to open in the first quarter of 2025, or after, following its conversion into a Korean- and Asian-focused grocery store.
President Alvin Lee said by email July 15 that his group was scheduled to start construction earlier this year for a fall or winter opening but changes in the city permitting system resulted in a delay.
