Native Sun Natural Foods Market
Retail · Jacksonville Beach
Native Sun Natural Foods Market is the independent grocery and kitchen at 1585 Third Street North, Jacksonville Beach, FL 32250. Google Places lists the phone as (904) 853-5497. This Stay Safe Jax page is that Jacksonville Beach store. It is not Grassroots in Riverside, not Whole Foods, and not a Mandarin supermarket.
WJCT News reported on February 6, 2020 that locally owned Native Sun was reopening its old Jacksonville Beach store after Lucky’s Market closed in Neptune Beach and Earth Fare prepared to shut its Jacksonville stores. Owner Aaron Gottlieb told First Coast Connect the prior deli format had not been sustainable and that the shop would return with a fast-casual restaurant. MapQuest’s Yelp-fed listing still uses Native Sun Natural Foods Kitchen + Market at 1585 3rd St N.

Jacksonville Beach’s Third Street North market is a local grocer with a deli and sushi counter, not a national natural-foods chain. WJCT’s 2020 reopen story is why Stay Safe Jax treats the shop as open after an earlier closing, not as a permanent shutdown. Google 4.5 and Yelp about 4.0 average to 4.25 on this page. Those snapshots are not live. Confirm hours on Google before you go, especially around the holidays WJCT and later listings say the shop closes.
Third Street North in 32250 is Jacksonville Beach, not a generic Jacksonville pin. Stay Safe Jax corrected the neighborhood so residents are not sent to Riverside’s Grassroots or Mandarin’s Whole Foods. The 4.25 headline averages a 4.5 Google snapshot and a smaller 4.0 Yelp file. Use both numbers. Neither refreshes on page load.
