Ellianos Coffee is edging closer to another Jacksonville outpost, with permitting records flagging plans for a new drive-thru at 8700 Beach Blvd. If the project clears all the hoops, the kiosk-style shop would bring the Lake City founded chain’s Northeast Florida footprint to as many as 18 locations across nearby counties.
Commercial listings show the roughly 0.72-acre parcel, tied to APN 140901-0000, lining up with the size Ellianos typically targets for a freestanding drive-thru kiosk. As shown on LoopNet, the site sits on busy Beach Boulevard in Southside Jacksonville.
Regulatory filings and site plans put the construction budget at about $700,000 for an 820-square-foot building, with Studio Sogo Architecture & Interiors of Atlanta listed as the architect and The Harvest Venture Group Inc. of Jacksonville identified as the project owner. Jacksonville utility provider JEA issued a service-availability letter on Nov. 21, and records note that an auto window-tinting shop previously on the lot has been demolished. No contractor appears yet in the public file, which is the basis for the project details, as reported by Jax Daily Record.
Site and neighborhood
The proposed Ellianos would sit at the southwest corner of Beach Boulevard and Killarney Drive, just west of the Walmart Supercenter and across from the Gates of the Promenade shopping center. That stretch carries steady retail and commuter traffic, the kind of visibility that tends to favor drive-thru concepts, according to commercial marketing materials on LoopNet.
Ellianos' Northeast Florida footprint
Ellianos already operates multiple locations in Northeast Florida, with additional "coming soon" and permitting-stage shops that, along with the Beach Boulevard proposal, could bring the chain’s count to roughly 18 sites across Baker, Clay, Duval, Nassau and St. Johns counties. The company was founded by Scott and Pam Stewart in 2002 and has since expanded across the Southeast, according to Ellianos' About page.
What to watch next
City and county approvals and utility connections still need to fall into place, so a named general contractor and a clear construction timeline will likely surface in public records before any ground work begins. Hoodline has followed Ellianos' steady regional expansion in Central Florida, where filings often show up months ahead of build-outs and franchise rollouts; see this St. Cloud drive-thru ground breaking for context. Keep an eye on county permitting databases and commercial listing updates for contractor details, permits and utility work orders that will signal the Beach Boulevard project moving into the construction phase.
