Jumpin’ Jax House of Food will add a third location by leasing the former 20West Cafe space in Downtown Jacksonville.
Howland “Howdy” Russell, co-founder of the restaurant, said he signed a lease for the ground floor at 20 W. Adams Street, according to WJCT News partner the Jacksonville Daily Record.
The 20West Cafe closed in June in recently built-out space, making it a deal “we couldn’t pass up,” Russell said. He hopes to open by the first of the year.
The restaurant will operate 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily, serving the same lunch menu as it does at its Mandarin and Atlantic Beach locations, along with breakfast.
