Excited to share that The Corner at Debs Store was recognized with a Cool Construction award from the Jacksonville Daily Record for revitalizing and preserving the original store in a more than 100-year-old building to honor its history while updating it for generations to come. And the best part — the building is open for business! We look forward to seeing you there.

Like Joe Debs said, OutEast deserves a first-class facility with first-in-class service. Open seven days a week, with half of its employees living right in the neighborhood, The Corner at Debs is now serving OutEast with groceries and beyond.

Join us in congratulating these leaders on this incredible achievement in the comments! ??
