Island Wing Company is working toward its second Northeast Florida restaurant.<\/p>\n
JEA is reviewing a service availability request for Island Wing Company to build a 7,500-square-foot restaurant at Bartram Market in St. Johns County.<\/p>\n
William Moore, president of Construction Solutions LLC in Tallahassee and director of planning and construction for Island Wing Company, said the team is discussing the timeline.<\/p>\n
Jacksonville franchise owner Shane Powers opened the first Island Wing Company this month at 4409 Southside Blvd., converting a former TGI Fridays restaurant.<\/p>\n
Bartram Market is under development along Race Track Road.<\/p>\n
In February, Powers said he planned several more locations in Northeast Florida and anticipated the next two in Bartram Market and Beachwalk in St. Johns County.<\/p>\n
Island Wing Company is a full-service restaurant and bar concept that focuses on baked and grilled food rather than fried.<\/p>\n
Bartram Market is anchored by Publix Super Markets Inc. and under development along Race Track Road. England-Thims & Miller Inc. is the civil engineer for the Island Wing Company project.<\/p>\n
The first Island Wing opened in August 2012 in Auburn, Alabama, by a husband-and-wife team. The franchise company is based in Destin.<\/p>\n
Its website shows nine restaurants, comprising two in Alabama and seven in Florida, including the Jacksonville location.<\/p>\n
In February, Powers said his restaurants employ 100 to 125 people, mostly part-time.<\/p>\n
He estimated the Southside project at $2 million and the Bartram Market and Beachwalk locations at $3.5 million to $4 million.<\/p>\n
Powers said he is the area developer and franchisee for Duval, St. Johns, Nassau and Clay counties.<\/p>\n
