Another tenant is in review for Jacksonville International Airport’s Concourse B.
The city is reviewing a permit for The Beaches @JAX, a travel essentials shop, at an estimated project cost of almost $1.16 million.
The Beaches @JAX is planned as a 1,054-square-foot shop near the entrance to the Concourse B, along with 398 square feet of remote storage. The concourse is under construction and is expected to be completed by the end of 2026.
The review comes as the city also looks over plans for Postcards from Jacksonville, one of the other travel essentials shops planned at the new six-gate concourse.
That tenant is in permitting review for an estimated $1.62 million interior build-out. The permit describes a 1,901-square-foot project comprising the 1,432-square-foot store concession space and 469 square feet of storage space. The shop is near the end of Concourse B.
The Beaches @JAX and Postcards from Jacksonville join new retail options Seven Bridges Marketplace in the concourse food hall area and the Five Points General Store planned at baggage claim.
They will sell travel essentials, locally made items and brands including Lego, Toys R Us and Sweet Pete’s Candy.
The Beaches @JAX, Postcards and Seven Bridges Marketplace are part of WHSmith, which works with airport landlords to bring in retail stores.
The estimated build-out cost for the retail spaces is $5.6 million. Marshall Retail Group will manage them.
The Jacksonville Aviation Authority board also approved lease agreements to bring Cantina Louie Mexican Street Food, Chick-fil-A, Panda Express, Pura Bean Coffee Co., Salt & Tide, V Pizza and Willie Jewell’s Old School Bar-B-Q to Concourse B.
Paradies Lagardère Travel Retail will manage Pura Bean and Salt & Tide.
Host International Inc. will manage the concourse’s 3,814-square-foot Oak & Ocean Food Hall, under construction at a project cost of nearly $6.29 million.
Construction on the $344 million, 186,733-square-foot, three-level Concourse B began in July 2024.
Balfour Beatty Construction LLC of Orlando is the construction manager. Jacobs Engineering of Gainesville is the lead design engineer and Jacksonville-based RS&H Inc. is the architectural subcontractor.
The North Jacksonville airport is at 2400 Yankee Clipper Drive.
