Southern Grounds announced plans April 29 for a location in downtown St. Augustine, with work expected to begin in the next two to three months.
Coffee-chain owner Mark Janasik said he, along with McGarvey Residential Communities, will renovate the structure at 36 Granada St., the former Corazon Cinema and Cafe.
Interior demolition of the building has begun.
It is across the street from the Lightner Museum, two blocks from Flagler College and borders the historic Lincolnville neighborhood.
“In our opinion this was irreplaceable real estate that fit with our ‘community based’ approach to site selection,” Janasik said by email.
“It’s no secret that St. Augustine is an amazing food town with very talented restaurateurs, chefs and hospitality professionals … We feel the town would appreciate our sustainable approach to our business.”
