The St. Johns Town Center Nordstrom will include an espresso bar.

Quoteby Karen Brune Mathis, Managing Editor

Jacksonville's first Nordstrom store at St. Johns Town Center will include its Ebar espresso bar coffee-shop concept at the entrance of the two-story department store.

Spokeswoman Kelly Skahan said Tuesday the Seattle-based retailer has 79 Ebar shops, which feature Nordstrom barristas serving hand-crafted beverages, custom-roasted coffee and espresso, fresh sandwiches, salads, snacks, local pastries and retail items.

Great news. I was wondering if they were going to add in the ebar or a restaurant. Restaurants seem to do really good at SJTC. I can't wait to find out which new stores will be in the Nordstrom wing.

^^^The most overrated department store (Macy's, outside of NYC IMO) is not even in suburban Jax yet as you know; Why would it even consider to open in downtown anytime soon? Don't hold your breath on that one.

Yeah, Macy's isn't in the business of losing money.  They've been closing downtown stores across the country lately.  Don't expect them to be opening in downtown Jax or any other city's downtown anytime soon.
