A new life for Debs Store
Debs Store began as a humble, hardworking family grocery Store that became the cornerstone for a community. Now, Partners Joe Debs, Goodwill and Lift Jax are working to restore, renovate and reimagine it for the next generation. Beyond grocery essentials, Goodwill will operate the original Store and it will become a hub for the neighborhood providing healthy foods, career & financial training and meaningful connection for residents.
