Shores Fine Wine & Spirits is exploring redevelopment of a closed Wendy’s fast-food restaurant in the Girvin area of East Arlington.
City utility JEA is reviewing a service-availability determination request for the project to redevelop the existing quick-service restaurant into a 7,500-square-foot drive-thru liquor store with associated parking areas, utilities and stormwater facilities.
Civil engineer Kimley-Horn and Associates Inc. is the applicant.
The 0.818-acre site is at 12911 Atlantic Blvd., at northeast Atlantic Boulevard and Girvin Road. The site is near the Lowe’s Home Improvement store.
The 3,098-square-foot Wendy’s was built in 2003, Duval County property records show.
A JEA request means a project is being considered and does mean a deal has been done.
Wendy’s has 40 locations in Northeast Florida. The Girvin restaurant is not listed.
ShoresLiquor.com shows 18 locations in Northeast Florida, with the two closest to the Wendy’s site being 14376 Beach Blvd., at southeast San Pablo Road and Beach Boulevard, and 909 Arlington Road N. at northeast Arlington Expressway and Arlington Road.
Privately owned Shores Fine Wine & Spirits is based in Jacksonville.
