2022 is set to be an exciting year for the Nocatee Town Center. Along with new dining, shopping and specialty services, there will also be new home offerings coming to the heart of the Nocatee community. Here's a refresher on some of the most highly anticipated additions:

Retail:

Añejo Cocina Mexicana: Añejo Cocina Mexicana will join several other new retailers in the new shopping center located east of Crosswater Parkway and south of Nocatee Parkway. This highly anticipated full-service restaurant is owned by Nocatee residents Jesus and Blanca Valencia. Añejo’s large menu offerings range from el Jefe tacos, burritos, chimichangas, enchiladas, and fajitas to desserts such as churros, tres leches, and fried ice cream. Each dish is crafted using fresh, made-from-scratch ingredients for authenticity and quality. Anejo is NOW OPEN (officially opened October 11th)!

Catullo's Italian: Catullo's Italian is opening their second Jacksonville location in the Nocatee Town Center. This full service restaurant will be situated in between Luxury Nail Spa and Palm Leaf Dental, in the Publix shopping center.  Most known for their fresh pasta and authentic family recipes, popular dishes include Pear Fiocchi, Gnocchi Catullo and Chicken Capricciosa. *Now slated to open in May 2023.

Premier Martial Arts: Premier Martial Arts' mission is to empower the community by cultivating determination and resiliency in their students. From Krav Maga to Karate, their unique program combines the best techniques to boost your child's confidence while teaching real-world self-defense. As a Nocatee family owned business, their team can't wait to build the character of the community through the study of martial arts. Premier Martial Arts is NOW OPEN (officially opened June 10th)! 

Safari Toy: Educational toy brand Safari Ltd® will open its first interactive toy store, ToyTopia, in Nocatee in August 2022. Think immersive, modern shopping where products are off the shelves and into the kiddo’s hands. The family-owned creator of Toys That Teach® has been making educational figurines for almost 40 years and recently relocated its headquarters to Jacksonville, Florida. The Pariente family, Nocatee residents themselves, decided to create a local toy store in their new home, a special place where families can come together, play and take home quality toys. Safari Toy is NOW OPEN (officially opened September 4th)!
