Newk's Eatery is opening a third location Jacksonville, Florida with a restaurant in the new Claire Lane Center on San Jose Boulevard. The opening follows the brand's November 2015 acquisition of franchise-owned locations in the River City Marketplace in the northern part of the city and The Avenues on the southside, bringing the total number of Jacksonville area restaurants to three, according to a company press release.

Newk's plans to open five additional locations between the River City and St. Augustine this year and has committed to opening as many as 30 new restaurants throughout Florida in the next five years.

"Newk’s latest opening in Jacksonville is an important part of our plan to increase density within the Southeast and along the East Coast," said Chris Newcomb, Newk's Eatery’s co-founder and CEO. "Our restaurants are well-received here, and we're looking forward to bringing Newk's creative homemade recipes, fresh ingredients and warm family-friendly environment to the Mandarin community and other areas within the expansive Jacksonville area."
