Conveniently located in Jacksonville\u2019s Southside neighborhood, St. Johns Town Center is easily accessible to I-95, I-295 and J. Turner Butler Boulevard and between Downtown and the beaches serving Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Amelia Island and South Georgia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">At the beginning of May, the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/jacksonville.com\/business\/2013-05-01\/story\/microsoft-looking-town-center-retail-store\">Florida Times-Union<\/a><\/em> first reported that Microsoft had filed an application with the city to build a store at that location, calling for a $400,000 investment in renovating the space previously occupied by Puma.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The 4,975-square-foot space\u2014located right next to Urban Outfitters\u2014has been standing vacant for several months; the store\u2019s location at 4791 River City Drive will be placing it merely two blocks from the Apple store.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Retail stores are a rather new concept for the Seattle-based software giant that opened its first store in 2009. The state of Florida is currently home to four other Microsoft stores, with the Orlando one\u2014 opened in August 2013\u2014being the first, followed by three more in Miami and Tampa.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Image via<a href=\"https:\/\/www.simon.com\/mall\/st-johns-town-center\"> Simon Malls <\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rumors that Microsoft will build its first Jacksonville-area retail store have just been confirmed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1591,21742],"tags":[39444,1815],"class_list":["post-1004078105","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-jacksonville","category-latest","tag-jacksonville","tag-national"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
