REI Jacksonville
Retail · St. Johns Town Center
REI Jacksonville is the outdoor-gear co-op at 4862 Big Island Drive, Jacksonville, FL 32246, in the Markets at St. Johns Town Center. Google Places lists the phone as (904) 996-1613. This Stay Safe Jax page is that Big Island Drive store. It is not Black Creek Outfitters next door, not a different Florida REI, and not a Southside strip-center sporting-goods shop.
The Florida Times-Union reported on February 28, 2013 that REI was opening that Friday in Markets of Town Center, a 23,400-square-foot store and the first REI in Florida, a few hundred yards from Black Creek Outfitters. Kara Montgomery, then the Jacksonville store manager, told the paper she expected fewer members here than in North Carolina because it was the first Florida store. That 2013 opening story is the public origin of this listing.
Public ratings on this page are stored snapshots, not live scores. Google Places currently lists REI at 4.5 from 494 reviews for the 4862 Big Island Drive listing, the same place ID stored here. Stay Safe Jax has no stored Yelp rating, so the headline is the Google snapshot: 4.5 from 494 reviews. Those numbers do not refresh when someone opens the page. Google currently lists Monday through Friday 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., and Sunday 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Google Places lists wheelchair-accessible parking and entrance. It does not list a wheelchair restroom. Stay Safe Jax did not independently inspect the sales floor.
Stay Safe Jax also has a catalog row named REI Co-op Jacksonville for the same Town Center store. Residents should treat those two slugs as one place. Stay Safe Jax leaves warning flags at 0. A 4.5 Google file on a national co-op is a strong, ordinary outdoor-retail score. There is no current sourced lawsuit or safety case in the facts used here. Check Google the day you shop, because holiday hours change.
Town Center’s REI is an outdoor co-op with bike service, not a big-box sporting-goods chain on Southside Boulevard. The 2013 first-in-Florida opening still defines this store. Black Creek Outfitters is a different shop a few hundred yards away; Stay Safe Jax does not mix those review files. A 4.5 from 494 reviews is a strong ordinary outdoor-retail score. Check Google for holiday hours. The Co-op slug in this catalog is the same address.
