Parker’s Kitchen — a nationally known convenience store company and food service leader that’s currently celebrating its 50th anniversary — opened its first Florida store in Yulee, Fla., serving the fast-growing metro Jacksonville market. The Parker’s Kitchen location in Yulee, Fla., which is the company’s 118th store, is ideally located at 75970 William Burgess Blvd. near the intersection of I-95 and Hwy. 200.

“We’re excited to welcome our newest customers in north Florida to Parker’s Kitchen,” said Parker’s Kitchen founder and Executive Chairman Greg Parker in a statement. “Opening our first store in Florida is a significant milestone for Parker’s Kitchen and an ideal way to celebrate our company’s 50th anniversary. Over the past five decades, we’ve been committed to serving customers across Georgia and South Carolina, elevating the convenience store experience and being a great partner to the communities we serve. We are thrilled to bring that experience to Florida.”

The award-winning convenience store company — which was included on the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest growing companies for the ninth time in August — plans to open additional stores in north Florida in 2027, deepening its commitment to serving more customers across the Southeast and expanding its presence in strategic markets. The company recently opened new retail stores in Columbia, S.C.; North Myrtle Beach, S.C.; and Lexington, S.C.

The new Parker’s Kitchen in Yulee serves the company’s award-winning Southern-inspired Parker’s Kitchen food, which is prepared fresh on-site daily, and offers indoor dining as well as electronic ordering kiosks. Customers can enjoy the hot bar for breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as convenient grab-and-go items. Popular Parker’s Kitchen menu items include breakfast biscuits, the Spicy Chicken Sandwich and hand-breaded, never-frozen, antibiotic-free Parker’s Kitchen Chicken Tenders.

The company’s new Yulee store also features signature Lowcountry-inspired architecture, charming gas-lit lanterns, high-end fixtures, designer lighting and spotless restrooms. Competitively priced fuel, bean-to-cup coffee, dispensed beverages, Chewy Ice and a wide range of convenience items are also available.

Parker’s Kitchen is known for its generous corporate philanthropy and for a longstanding commitment to making a transformative impact on the communities where the company operates stores. To date, the company has donated more than $30 million to a wide range of charitable causes, supporting education, reducing childhood hunger, expanding access to healthcare and helping local veterans.
