Ellianos Coffee, the drive-thru coffee concept found throughout the Southeast, is opening several new locations, including one in Jacksonville at 51 Duval Station Rd.
The new Ellianos will be located at the corner of Benton Road and New Duval Station Road, next to Popeyes, according to Jacksonville Daily Record. Franchise owner Lewis Sharp tells What Now Jacksonville he hopes to open this location around August 2023. He tells What Now he also plans to open a new location next year in Jacksonville’s Regency Plaza. Sharp previously tried to bring Ellianos to University Boulevard south of the HCA Florida Memorial Hospital, but an agreement was never made.
“We wanted to bring Ellianos to North Jacksonville because of the rapidly growing community,” Sharp said in a news release. “The coffee options are very limited in North Jacksonville, and we would love to establish a great customer base with the community.”
The Lake City-based company has over 60 locations open or coming soon, according to the company’s website. Ellianos is also planning several new locations in Jacksonville. A representative from the company tells What Now Jacksonville Ellianos will be opening at 474313 East State Road in Fernandina Beach around mid-October-November 2023; 619 Chaffee Road in Jacksonville around mid-May-June 2023; 3770 Blanding Boulevard in Jacksonville around mid-May-June 2023; and 12777 Atlantic Boulevard in Jacksonville around mid-October-November 2023. These will all be owned by other existing and new franchisees.
“This will be just one of nine Ellianos locations in the works for Jacksonville as the brand continues to dominate the area’s drive-thru coffee scene,” the company said in a news release on May 13 for the University Boulevard location.
When these new locations open, customers can expect a variety of coffee options, as well as smoothies, latte freezers, and more. For food, the chain offers plenty of easy-to-go handheld options, such as breakfast sandwiches, bagels, cookies, brownies, chicken salad croissants, and more. These will all be made fresh and served in a standalone kiosk that focuses on its drive-through operations.
