Even faster, Oceanology, the old Sharper Image store, is closing soon. If I'm counting right, they didn't last 6 months. Looking into the store last night, I see why, it looks like hippie beach clothing, more suited for a location Jax Beach or so.

British Shoe Company

If the whole place burned down tomorrow...

Would it make a sound?

Probably not with OUR readers!

Gotta love you people.

Hixons?  That's a Jax institution, isn't it?  How many decades where they around?
Hey!  Whatever happened to just plain ol' COMMON SENSE!!

I noticed last weekend that the Belk's Men's and Children's at the Avenues Mall had closed. It was in the old Parisian space. I assume they will be combining their inventory with the other Belk's in the south end of the mall.

they did combine the stores back together...as they were before Parisian closed

Sierra Grille at Baymeadows & Southside is closing for good after tonight. There only other location around here is by Target in south Jax Beach.

I avoid going into stores that are near closing because I feel like a vulture picking over the body of the someone near death. Even though I barely make any money I try to spend what I do earn locally.

This thread has been dormant for a while. Here are some recent closings I know of. I am sure plenty can be added.

O'Charleys on Atlantic/Kernan

Ben and Jerry's on Wells in OP

Food Lion on Beach/Southside (possibly re-opening as a Rowe's?)

Race Trac on Beach near Parental Home.

And I saw the Wendys on Beach across from Mayfair Village was all shut down. I use to work over near there and that place was always busy.

There seem to be a lot of Wendy's closing recently.  Roosevelt Boulevard near NAS.  Airport Road near JIA.  Shame.  For fast food, their stuff's not bad.

Ham's on Roosevelt @ St. Johns is now Fast Boys Wings.

My wife was sad to see Swoozie's close at SJTC, but I think the chain is closing all stores nationwide.
