The closed Applebee’s in St. John’s Town Center North is becoming the second location for 145°F Seafood Boil, whose first restaurant opened in Clermont.
Jacksonville-based ownership applied to the city for a certificate of use for the restaurant at 4507 Town Center Parkway, where Applebee’s closed in 2019.
A banner sign on the 5,400-square-foot building says the restaurant is coming soon.
Colliers International North Florida Retail Services Director Karen Hong said the restaurant plans 200 to 250 seats.
Hong represents the restaurant owners, Ming Chan and Eric Ng. Ng will be the manager.
She said the owners chose the site because it is the “best location in Jacksonville.”
