Written by Regency Centers | Oct 20

Jacksonville’s second Whole Foods location recently opened its doors at Regency’s Pablo Plaza in Jacksonville Beach, FL. Headquartered in Austin, TX, the popular grocer is the world’s leader in natural and organic foods, with more than 500 store locations in North America and the UK.

This highly anticipated, socially distanced grand opening followed recent redevelopment work that resulted in Pablo Plaza’s new coastal, modern aesthetic. A few additional high-impact changes included a full façade renovation to overhaul the look of the project, a brand-new landscape package, and a parking lot redesign, which created 75 new parking spaces.
