Highland Square Shopping Center

Large strip shopping center located on Dunn Avenue. Unfortunately, a lot of the stores have moved out over the years because the area has gone down since they built the huge River City Marketplace. I just hope it doesn’t go down anymore than it already has. But it continues to stay pretty busy and it has Publix as the large anchor store here.
JSO (Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office) has a large sub-​station in this shopping center, so thanks to that, I always feel safe here. If it weren’t for that fact, I honestly don’t know that I’d continue to shop here.
Parts of the parking lot have been repaved… others have not. So, depending on where you are in the parking lot, watch out for large potholes!
In addition to Publix, DD’s Discounts has just opened a new, large store here. You’ll also find a Family Dollar, Sally Beauty Supply, Bealls Outlet, GameStop, and Bailey’s Gym. There’s also quite a few smaller stores here. If you’re looking for something to eat, there’s China Buffet, Cici’s Pizza, and Firehouse Subs (to name a few). In the parking lot, you’ll find Checker’s and Starbucks in their own buildings. I remember when they built the SBUX here… I honestly didn’t think it’d stand a chance, so I’m honestly surprised to see it still standing.
You’ll still see Dollar Tree and Radio Shack on the large sign for the shopping center; however, Radio Shack is about to go (they have their «going out of business» signs up) and Dollar Tree has moved down the street a few blocks into it’s own building.
