JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. — Executive chef Craig Dion has opened Penman Square Market and Cafe in Jacksonville Beach, which serves lunch and dinner along with pre-prepared food-to-go that guests take home to "heat-and-eat." The freshly prepared items are displayed in refrigerated cases inside the dining room.

Dion has previously owned and operated fine dining establishments for more than two decades, however, he sold Six Burner, his last restaurant, in 2005 after seeing a decline in the fine-dining segment and a rise in quick-service and fast-casual segments.

Penman Square Market also boasts a drive-thru window and allows patrons to call ahead and pick up their order without leaving their vehicle.
