OUR MISSION:

To welcome residents to a community gathering spot with the essentials for better living.

A new life for Debs Store

Debs Store began as a humble, hardworking family grocery store that became a cornerstone for a community. Now, partners Joe Debs, Lift Jax, Goodwill and VyStar along with many other supporters have restored, renovated and reimagined it as The Corner at Debs Store for the next generation. Beyond grocery essentials, Goodwill will create a hub for the neighborhood providing career training and job opportunities and VyStar will include an ATM and financial fitness assessments for residents.
