Chick-fil-A tests Downtown Jacksonville market with temporary Jax Tower pop-up

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Chick-fil-A is exploring an expansion into Downtown Jacksonville, offering lunch service temporarily at a former lobby coffee counter in Jax Tower at 50 North, according to our news partners at the Jacksonville Daily Record.

Tenants in the building at 50 N. Laura St., formerly the Bank of America Tower, were notified in an email that the fast-food chain would be on-site from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday from July 6 through August.

“While this is a temporary arrangement, Chick-fil-A is using this opportunity to test both the downtown market and our building as a potential location for a future full-time, full-service restaurant,” the email read, noting the temporary site is selling items from a limited menu.

Sarah Teagle, a senior associate of office brokerage at Cushman & Wakefield, confirmed July 6 that the counter was open. She said sandwiches sold out the first day and that the chain was considering adding breakfast service based on requests from customers.

Cushman & Wakefield’s property management division manages the tower and took over leasing and management around January.
