True Food Kitchen will open its 25th restaurant, and the third in Florida, this week at St. Johns Town Center. Focusing on what it calls “health-driven” food that is

Brian Wolfburg, president and CEO of VyStar Credit Union, said previously SunTrust had leased 65,000 square feet and then sublet 30,000 square feet to Jacksonville University, lowering the bank’s space to 35,000 square feet.
