Sourdough & Co. Plans Jacksonville Restaurant
The California sandwich chain has filed plans for a 1,045-square-foot location on Jacksonville's Southside.
Updated on Nov. 12, 2026 in Openings & Closings
Sourdough & Co., a California-based sandwich chain, plans to open a restaurant at 7540 Gate Parkway, No. 114, in Jacksonville's Palms at Gate Parkway retail center. Plans were filed with the Florida Division of Business & Professional Regulation, and a building permit application for buildout of the space is in the works.
Why it matters
The planned opening adds another sandwich option to Jacksonville's Southside and extends the chain's footprint, which already spans nearly 100 locations across eight states. It follows the recent arrival of Potbelly Sandwich Works, which opened its first Jacksonville location nearly six months before this report.
The planned restaurant would occupy 1,045 square feet within the Palms at Gate Parkway center, while the company operates nearly 100 locations across eight states. The opening timeline remains unannounced pending permit approval and buildout.
