Rowe’s IGA Supermarkets might replace Publix at Gateway Town Center soon after it closes Dec. 28.
Rob Rowe, owner of Rowe’s IGA Supermarkets, said Thursday he has a letter of intent with the Gateway landlord to lease the 28,120 square feet of space, pending the termination of Publix’s lease.

“Right now I know that when Publix is done we will work with the landlord to go in there,” Rowe said.
But he emphasized it was not yet a done deal.
“If they are closing in December and the landlord is successful, then we will be able to go in fairly soon after Publix vacates,” he said.
The parent company of Winn-Dixie and Harveys may also be interested. For more on that, see the expanded version of this story at JaxDailyRecord.com.
