Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. (WJXT)
JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. – Just months after Joe’s Crab Shack on Beach Boulevard closed its doors for the final time , a newly converted Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. is open for business in Jacksonville Beach.
Both brands are owned by Landry’s Inc., a factor company officials said helped shape the decision to convert the property.
The Bubba Gump Shrimp at 6 Beach Blvd . in Jacksonville Beach is the only one in the Jacksonville area.
The restaurant is open 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Sunday-Thursday and 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Friday-Saturday.
The nearest Joe’s Crab Shack is now in Daytona Beach, nearly 90 miles away.
